Mшlleеdalen autumn, a photo from Kobenhavn, East

Photographer's Note

Kongens Lyngby is a small city on the north edge of the Copenhagen metropolitan area. It is home to the Technical University of Denmark and lies within commuting distance of downtown Copenhagen. The population is about 50,000. A set of three lakes lie to the west: Lyngby Sш, Bagsvaerd Sш, and Furesш. The first of these is immediately to the west of Lyngby and one can enjoy a pleasant, scenic walk or cycle around it.

The Lyngby Sш drains to the Шresund, the strait that separates Denmark from Sweden. It is roughly ten km from the Sш to the coast. The river is dammed in places to form ponds and on these ponds long ago mills were established. This setting is one of the early locales for industrialization in Denmark, well ahead of the invention of the steam engine.

The mill ponds are still in existence. The entire waterway from the Lyngby Sш to the Шresund is bordered by a greenbelt with multiuse trails that allow for biking and hiking. In Danish, the area is called Mшlleеdalen. I don't know how to translate that.

This photo was shot from along the Mшlleеdalen, near the small town of Brede on the outskirts of Lyngby about halfway between the Lyngby Sш and the Шresund.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for al; your very beautifully writen comment to my photos. I really appreciate a thoughtful comment rather then all the meaningless short phrases of nice words. This is a very beuatiful scenery, very charming and down to earth. Sharpness and clarity is just a bit week, but the overall composition and golden warm light and rich tone made up for it. the house is perfectly placed in such a beautiful and natural setting filled with sense of peacefulness and tranquilty. Thanks
Way

I like the atmosphere!
The atmosphere of a place is more than the sum of the elements, it is the mental reaction of the viewer when watching the photograph and thus also partly influenced by the viewer's former experiences...
The pale light of late autumn makes the old house stand out in the dry vegetation and the impression is enhanced by the reflection!
