Spirit of Nature

by Teresa Teixeira

This was a great day! We got up very early in the morning (04.00 O’clock) to see the sun rising. We had previously studied a spot in a map and we drove towards that place. It was too dark and didn’t know what we could expect. We arrived at a place that looked like a moor but we saw the most beautiful sunrise of our lives. When the sun finally rose we started to explore that spot. We drove a little bit and found this wonderful place almost by chance!… This was completly desert, clean… no evidence of people. Here we separated from each other. We were silent and after some moments we mixed with the environment. Birds got used to our presence and they all started singing. Blackbirds … I heard a cuco singing… cu..co….cu…co, a woodpecker … making holes on the trees and so on… A lot of wild flowers… A fantastic light ! And we could photograph and relax…
We are happy with our work, but we know we have to go back to that place to get more familiar with it and therefore be able to improve our performance …
We acknowledge that we are longing to go there back again to enjoy that mood and that beauty!

Equipment: Canon EOS 10 D Digital, 28-135 mm lens

I love photography. And usually rise early to capture the first sun beams of the sun. The light and the magic of sunrise are two things I am fond of!

It looks like paradise–I would love to spend an entire morning and/or afternoon in that serene setting!

So surreal. Absolutely beautiful, it reminds me of what I picture when I think of running through a field and taking a nap in the grass!

Good atmosphere, well composed. I feel the picture is a wee bit underexposed when it comes to the darker parts (the colors of the flowers are now too dull imo), but it’s still a lovely photo as the exposure was probably hard to handle.
