Description What if there was no light
Nothing wrong, nothing right
What if there was no time
And no reason, or rhyme
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life...

What if I got it wrong
And no poem or song
Could put right what I got wrong
Or make you feel I belong...

What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in you life...
...
..
.

Lyrics by Coldplay...
I’m just listening to X & Y album tonight and I’m totally involved by these wonderful words which are flying over the mounts of this picture... What a great and sensitive song...

Shot close to my village, southern France, in a place called Roqueredonde... The majesty of these wild mounts and the contrast between the different vegetation tones really turns me on...

i don't know why but i have a feeling that those rocks are moving ..and in the next minutes they'll move to the sides and will open something..that is very interesting

quite an interesting piece of landscape you have captured in the shot -- amazing how the lyrics of a song open our imagination to the photos that people take -- and what's more amazing is that we see these words in the colours -- the mountains -- ...

later days

The majesty of these wild mounts and the contrast between the different vegetation tones really turns me on...

yeah me too, what a trippy photo my friend
very different to your typical work, that is for sure
but none the less I like it....
especially the clouds(the very dull clouds) against the vivid colors
it's a very different contrast, but it's nice

Parti chercher des champignons ou des marrons dans le Haut Languedoc? ([link] )
Je crois bien que c'est Γ  cette pΓ©riode que c'est le plus beau.

have you desaturated the top of this pic, Michel? It looks a bit strange in comparison to the vivid green of the fore-ground!

Michel-Lag-Chavarria In reply to vitamin-c [2005-10-12 16:34:09 +0000 UTC]

No... I've just saturated a little bit the foreground... But the sky and clouds were monochone...

I have to say your atmospheric photo deserves better than Coldplay lyrics, Michel. I was reading through, thinking the words weren't up to your usual standard, before I realised where they came from

Like the comp and the horizontal lines of the paths, pitty there is not more depth of field. but everything is a compromise.

Fantastic shot, I love the lighting, (the way the shadows fall over the hills) the and the sky..
X&Y is great, I never liked Coldplay that much until this album, it's really good... I like the way you have related that song to your shot; nice.

Coldplay! woohoo, "What If" is a good song on that album..... "Fix You"..... "Swallowed in the Sea"

wild image, i wish you had possibly opened up your lens more so that we could see below that field at the bottom of the frame... that would seem to be an ideal point of focus. yet the paths on the mountains produce a wonderful effect... good eye

How strange...when I read the title listed on my devwatch page, the first thing I thought of was that song and to see the words I was singing in my head was so strange.

Anyhow, love the pic as always

it's very interesting. when I look at your picture, the mountains seem painted, and the sky looks so real.. that's the first I've noticed and I find the contrast quite striking.

On the other hand, it's amazing how they have different colors.
It looks great.
And once again, perfect choice of a comment.

"Oooooooh that's right
Let's take a breath, jump over the side
Oooooooh that's right
How can you know it if you don't even try
Oooooooh that's right"

Beautiful song and pretty photo. I adore the triangle formed for the mountains, they had given a femininity to the image that combines with the song words.
