The theme for this week’s photo challenge is Half Light.
This is a photo taken with the first generation of electronic compact camera – with only 4 Megapixel.
The upper half has light coming from the cloudy sky.
Think the lower half is more interesting – full of lavender.
But both halves blend in quite harmoniously.
As with many of my posted lavender photos, the picture was taken in Furano, Hokkaido in Japan.
How beautiful !
Glad to hear from you again！
Its somehow comforting to see you al here !
You are always welcome here!
That is a stunning hoto!
Thank you！
This is great. I love the lavender field.
Glad that you like it!
I love the lavender in the foreground, it completes a lovely photo.
I like lavender not planted in rows and it is one of them.
Yes I think that’s why I like it so much, it’s wild.
Thank you for the responses, Debbie!
🙂 Great light! It looks almost unreal.
Have a very HAPPY week, dear Michael! 🙂
Unreal but beautiful!
Probably mentioned it before: that place looks more Swiss than japanese. 🙂
Hope one day, China will look like Swiss as well – maybe not in my lifetime.
Maybe not. But then I remember photos of Peking in the sixties… so much has changed so fast…
The air is killing . . . . I don’t want to live there!
Yes, I understand they’re having permanent air contingency… What a shame.
It’s all hazy up there, even at the Great Walls!
Oh. Even there? I understand th great Wall is actually not that far from Peking?
Yes, most of the photos taken in Beijing are hazy.
SO lovely!!
Thank you!
I did recognize the spot… 🙂 I often miss Hokkaido, the most “European” of the Japanese main islands… ❤ P.S. Have you visited our lovely Provence and its gorgeous lavender fields?… 🙂
Nice to hear from you, Mel@nie!
I still haven’t been to Provence – although it is on my bucket list.
Regards, Michael
I find the orange strip holds the whole piece together, like a connecting point. The place that my eye keeps returning to as it is drawn by the triangular shaped buildings to dance back and forth between the clouds and the lavender field. I love the rhythm, the richness and fluidity of this photograph.
Glad that you like it!
