Two Seasons In One

by Philippe Sainte-Laudy

Photo taken in the Swiss Alps. I loved the feeling of seeing two seasons at the same time.

Equipment: Nikon D300 – Nikon 18/200mm

Philippe Sainte-Laudy

The beauty of nature is all around us at all times, but there are brief moments when a combination of elements present themselves in a truly spectacular way.
Anybody who is fortunate enough to witnesses one of these events will look back fondly upon the memory.
And they are even more fortunate if they happen to have a camera ready to record the event.
In order to be in the right place at the right time, it is necessary to understand the complex interactions between light, weather, landscape, the tides, plants, and animals. And it is important to have a deep respect for this planet and its inhabitants.
I hope that photography can bring people closer to nature and encourage them to preserve it for future generations.

Gorgeous shot; I have just been looking at some shots that my dad took in the Boston area but this one is even better.

I will not feel bad for not getting any great fall folliage pics this year, cause I know you did, and that’s enough for me.
