"THE SONG OF THE RIVER" / "DER GESANG DES FLUSSES"
by Lidia Ziemnicka-Otto.
SUNSET OVER THE RHINE
The photograph of the sunset over the Rhine has been taken
from the mountain Erpeler Ley in the Middle Rhine region,
Germany.
Tender pink tangerine colours, spread by the setting sun,
make a romantic dreamy impression.
The river Rhine comes to rest.
The silhouette of the tree appears to start whispering
the stories.
GOLDEN REFLECTION
The photograph has been taken in Ahr Valley, Germany.
While photographing a bridge and walking beneath the arcs
I discovered this hidden wonderful poetic place where
the sun put golden reflection on the river embraced
by green vegetation and steep rocks.
THE RHINE AT DUSK
The photograph has been taken in the Middle Rhine region,
Germany.
I took this photograph at dusk at the end of the long
photo shooting as the Rhine offered me this poetic
good night song.
SUNSET OVER THE RHINE IN VIBRANT REDS
The photograph has been taken in the Middle Rhine region,
Germany.
The nature performed a breathtaking sunset painting
the sky and the water with a wide palette of vibrant reds.
THE AUTUMNAL SUNSHINE OVER THE RHINE
The photograph has been taken in the region of Middle Rhine,
Germany.
This beautiful place appears in many different colours
and shapes as the Rhine can flow freely and spread widely
here. There was little water in the Rhine so that the river
showed its bed covered with shells.
The autumnal sunshine highlighted the green of the grass,
the blue of the sky and water and the golden colours
of the leaves on trees.
THE RHINE THROUGH THE NATURAL WINDOW
The photograph has been taken on the Erpeler Ley rock
in the Middle Rhine region, Germany.
The massive rock offers fabulous view on the bending Rhine.
The old solitary oak stand like a castle on the top of the
rock. I took the opportunity to photograph the bending Rhine
through this natural and playful window.
THE RHINE VALLEY IN BLUE
The photograph has been taken in the Middle Rhine region,
Germany.
I took this panoramic photograph of the bending Rhine and
the valley at dusk while the sky still displayed the pink
and purple from the sunset.
THE GREAT RHINE BEND NEAR BOPPARD
The photograph has been taken near the town Boppard
in the Middle Rhine region, Germany.
I took this panoramic photograph of the Great Rhine Bend
from a mountain on a rainy day. The place offers an awesome
view at any time.
THE RHEIN BEND AT THE LORELEY
The photograph has been taken in the Middle Rhine region,
Germany.
I took this photograph of another famous bend of the river
Rhine at the Loreley rock.
The trees in the foreground build a natural frame
of the image. Additionally, I used the trees to highlight
the perspective from which the photograph has been taken.
THE TREE AT THE PURPLE SUNSET
The photograph has been taken in the Middle Rhine region,
Germany.
The photograph of this poetic purple sunset I took
on the Erpeler Ley rock. The place not only offers fabulous
panoramic view on the Rhine and its surrounding mountains on
the both sides of the valley but also beautiful forest and
gives the opportunity to witness spectacles of the nature.
The lonely tree and the overwhelming purple clouds meet each
other in a peaceful delightful way.
THE PURPLE NIGHT SKY OVER THE RHINE
The photograph has been taken in the Middle Rhine region,
Germany.
The night sky still displaying purple colours and the purple
reflection on the water created a special atmosphere on this
winter's evening.
THE COLOURFUL NIGHT SKY OVER THE RHINE
The photograph has been taken in the Middle Rhine region,
Germany.
The night sky still displaying vibrant deep tangerine
and purple colours and the purple reflection on the snow
created a very special atmosphere of this winter's evening
on the banks of the river Rhine.
