Sunday morning
[posted at 12:02 GMT]    

Today morning I woke up early for Sunday. I went out with attempt to find some depressive gray places with leafless trees. All was turning a bit different, first I came to place I always wanted to go. Very nice, maybe too nice with small water channels, green meadows with sheep. First I was driving small roads than I parked car and walked. Sun was still behind horizon. And nothing really inspired me. Until I have found one place with a lot of trees together hanging over the water. I made few shots and than walked further. I met two mans with dogs and asked them for directions.
Well but as the sun goes all start looking very bright and positive, I was not in plan to make any calendar like perfect pictures. So I stopped myself few times from taking a shot and my moo went really down.
I stepped in car with decision that today is too nice day for depressive images. As I was slowly driving through the fields I really had to stop two or three times and took few shots of that beauty. I just can't resisted anymore. On my way back, while driving through the village I noticed even nicer willow trees and those with fogged field in background and water in front. Beaming sun on horizon finally give me that kick and I said yes this is it. The right mix of good light and depressive mood. So I spend few rolls over there. I plan to develop them tonight, it may even happen, who knows...

Do you still remember, some time ago I told you that my photo was used on book cover. They asked me for some other photos for publicity and they created following nice movie. Some images use din it are mine, some not. But I like how it is done.
Look for yourself:
