So far I've posted some of the portraits I took during my recent trip, but over the next few days I thought I'd put up some landscapes. This one was taken about a mile north of Wiltingen, facing south towards a tight bend in the river Saar. As you can see, it was a beautiful location.

This reminds me so much of similar regions in France, I very want to go on holiday now. Great composition, and love the mist.

Very nice geography - certainly looks Germanic, neat and orderly.
comment byMauricio Matos at 09:48 PM (GMT) on 9 October, 2007
Very beautiful...the landscape, the train and even the foggy mood.
comment byRyan Rahn at 09:57 PM (GMT) on 9 October, 2007
Great landscape...love the mist. The lighting is somewhat surrealistic as well.

I look at a picture like this and wonder why in the world I live in dusty and hot Las Vegas.
comment byAsh at 11:17 PM (GMT) on 9 October, 2007
Mmm... lovely lovely lovely. Beautiful scenery, lovely shot. Even the blown sky on the left just adds to the shot. Incredibly clear too... I need to start buying some pro-quality lenses!

I took a similar photograph in Northumberland this summer, although the river was on a much smaller scale and it didn't have the train. I feel that the train really adds to the photograph and makes your eye look around the image, fantastic use of an S curve!

Wow! What a beautiful place

Fab shot - beautiful location. Did you prefer working here to the Bahamas? - I think I would.

Really beautiful landscape. Seems to me to be there in a day of beginning autumn. (sorry for my bad english)

although foggy beautiful..
comment byRichard Trim at 04:06 PM (GMT) on 10 October, 2007
My word the vine covered slope slopes are savagely steep. Must be south facing as well. Great meander ... wonder how long before it turns that stretch of river into an 'ox-bow lake'? You must have been up early to get the morning mists or was it one of those totally claggy (walking term) days. Very evocative ... I like it very much.
comment byAlice at 06:27 PM (GMT) on 10 October, 2007
What a beautiful view! Nicely captured.
comment bymikelangelo at 06:49 PM (GMT) on 10 October, 2007

Thanks everyone.
Craig: I used the 24-70 a lot, but not exclusively :-)
Jennifer: yes, it was preferable to the Bahamas - more varied and not scorching hot ;-)
Richard: it was shot at 8.45am, so not too early.
thomas: yes, it's very beautiful.

Great shot that reminds me of my childhood when I went there with my uncle. The train is in a perfect position, I bet it´s one of the first in the morning ;-)
