Description
calm is something im lacking right nowand going out to my old lake and seeing the old cottage and the community and the frozen lake, it was really... nice
like something i just needed to do.
i like how it turned out though. i dont know why, but cool tones make everything seem very... still and empty and i like that. thats what calms me.
hope you like ^_^

lake winnipeg [in manitoba]
color corrections, as usual.
i submitted under landscape because even though its a frozen lake, its 'land' for now and _i_ felt there was more to the photo than JUST the tree, thus it didnt make flowers & plants either...
opinions on category it possibly should have gone in otherwise though?
i might switch it later on...
edit: since when did combining & and p make the
face? yet the & sign is still visible?!

My family has a cottage in the Traverse Bay area and we go to a few select beaches, usually Croken (sp) Place (by Elk Island) or Albert beach, sometimes Grand Beach if we're in the mood!
And you're welcome!

definitely chilly, but yeah... very calming
i dunno why i get so calmed by cool tones
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This cool and chilly feeling is an opposite to anything "bright and fast moving" (sorry, my English... -_-), maybe, because of that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, that could definitely be one interpretation... bright makes things seem very alive and fast moving well... also another sign of life, but everything in this picture of mine is frozen and dead and lacking a lot of color... everything is/looks just frozen in one place, and i often wish i could just freeze time so yes perhaps that IS why im so calmed by cooler, chilly tones and images

Wonderful, serene photo!
The colours are adorable

This pictures is really soothing. Plus, I really like all pictures with trees silouhettes. And, I love snow and how it makes all sounds sound softer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
mm, glad you like!
and yes, i love snow for that reason too... its just so.. calming, even when there is chaos going on all around. when its just falling lightly and its all fluffy and the weather is pretty mild, its like a dream.

This is a very interesting photograph and almost looks like a painting. Great white against the lonely bare tree
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and 'great white' is a good way to describe canada in the winter months, hah. vast and... quite snowy, at least in most places.

Aww so calm and peaceful and melancholy. That nothing can ever bother nor stress it. I like the simplicity of it with the single tree resting before spring. Well done
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i think i love your interpretation the most, and i just keep repeating 'nothing can ever bother or stress it' in my head for some reason, ever since i read this comment which was shortly after you left it
i think youre totally right, nothing CAN ever bother or stress it, it just does its thing through the seasons. takes things as they come. definitely a good lesson to learn, i think, and apply when and where you can.
so thanks for that wonderful insight and slew of words. i dont think i will be forgetting them anytime soon
and im glad you enjoyed!

You're very sweet ^^

definatly calm

leave it in landscapes, it fits....
very calming. Frozen lakes are always beautiful to see, and the tree looks pretty
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
okay good, haha... i think i like it best in landscapes too... hm
and yeah i dunno, it was very... relaxing to just look out onto pretty much nothing
frozen things are always just nice... maybe because i always want time to stop, so i can lap up every enjoyable moment to its fullest extent, heh.

This shot looks almost surreal, as if there's nothing at all beyond that tree. Which to me, together with those colours in the sky, is calming indeed. Nicely done.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hooray, another who thought it looked surreal... and im glad it gives off that vibe, since the absolute calm i felt just looking out was quite surreal in itself.
and well... if you walked on that frozen lake long enough, youd eventaully come to the beaches on the other side, or the channels
anyhow, thanks
glad to know i seem to be getting 'better'!

This is very very nice. It has the ability of making me stare at it for long periods of time and just makes me wish I could be there aswell. Ditto on what everybody else said aswell bout the colors.
