WOW. Love the light on the church and the colour of the sky. Fab shot, makes me wish I was there!

I agree! The color of the sky is just fabulous. Great shot!

Also notice our flexible traffic lights. Given sufficient exposure they seem to offer all kinds of colours for all tastes.

Tinsie: Thanks, glad you appreciate it. In fact I wasn't entirely happy about the shadow on the church tower.

Buenos Aires Photoblog: I like the contrast against those green leaves.

Thanks for stopping by.

(Trying to picture Per on the ground in the middle of the intersection, getting the frog-perspective in this shot...!)

A nice photograph, as always. Night skies add drama to the stillest of objects. And a surprisingly young church, after all. I think I would have guessed it older than that.

(I could crop a separate photo out of the upper left corner, with the leaves and the traffic light... But that's a whole different story!)

Lovely light, colours and frame!

The traffic lights are really showing off: multicolor spots in an almost dramatic and dark image. Very good shot.

Magnificent shot, Stromsjo!

En underbar kyrka och ett vackert foto!

There was a bit of effort involved in snapping this one so I'm glad you like it.

himmelochord: Not quite in the middle of the intersection but certainly in a very strategic position. (At least in terms of being bumped into by happy pedestrians passing on their way home from a night on the town.)

That cropping idea sounds interesting!

cieldequimper: Leaves offer the greenest of frames in this season.

Vogon Poet: It was a peaceful moment. If I had been a traffic light I would have taken the night off.

Halcyon: Surprisingly many photos work well in b/w but I guess this would not be one of them...

Alexander: Light and colours everywhere, all of a sudden. We could have used some of this during winter.

Jacob: Thank you, sir! ;)

Lena Johansson: Det är en fin kyrka, inte minst på insidan som vi sett tidigare.

Appreciate all your comments.

This wonderful church couldn't look better against the gorgeous dark blue sky!

Don't think I could add anything original, I'll just join the above choir of praise, love the photo:)

Beautiful nightscape. You did an awesome job with the lighting.

stromsjo said...

We ought to do a church series one of these days. There are so many, one more beautiful than the other.

JM: And trust me, the inside is even better.

Pia K: Glad you like it too.

gogouci: Good to have you stopping by as well!

Again, thanks for all your encouraging comments.
