A wonderful landscape. Now I have the opportunity of looking at your beautiful photo and, at the same time, look those blues and whites through the window. Great!
This is another "kind of blue" different, not Miles Davis', but equally beautiful.

Gorgeous landscape, Lorraine! I love the bare trees in the foreground, the snow on the bank off to the left, and the varying shades of blue in the water and sky. Oh, and those wispy clouds. This is fantastic! Looks like a painting. Excellent composition, my friend!

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Your tree and branches silhouettes in the foreground really set off the blues of the water and sky quite nicely. This is a very restful scene; Bella approves. Me, too.

@Viewfinder: Thanks for the great compliment...especially about Bella's approval ;)

marianne from Toulouse, from France, France
Voilà pour moi un paysage idyllique ... je ferme les yeux, et j'entends le vent doucement bercer sa complainte dans les branches grinçantes ...
Une vision de paradis, et si le paradis existe, alors il est près de toi ...
ces couleurs sont d'une limpidité extraordinaire, je suis transportée devant tant de sobritété et de paix ...
je prends mes patins et j'arrive glisser sur cette immense étendue ...
merci pour ce beau voyage Lorraine !
je passe très tard, je suis désolée !
