Hello Lars,
Another fine ensemble of architecture from Providence, Rhode Island. I like the point of view looking across the lake. Lights and colours are very pleasant to view and clarity impeccable.

Hi Lars,
Well framed town and bridge, a composition well balanced, so pleasant light of the sun, well captured, tfs.

Witaj Lars!
Next interesting view.
Curious architecture makes impression.
Good framing, colors and sharpness.
I like bridges.
Well done.
Good morning.

Hello Lars,

I like this place and I like your photograph. There is a pleasing mix of old and new, of tall and not-so-tall and of different shapes. The skyscrapers are not overpowering or overbearing and make an interesting backdrop to the water and the bridges.
As always, the clarity is impeccable.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Bonjour, cher Lars,
Une grande ville qui a gard� des proportions raisonnables quant � l'architecture g幯廨ale.
La pr廥entation est particuli鋨ement judicieuse pour valoriser un ensemble fort agr嶧ble.
Tr鋊 bonne journ嶪.
Amiti廥.
Philippe

Hello Lars,

The fg with its canals and bridges looks like Amsterdam but the bg with its high rise buildings looks distinctly American. Good color, sharpness and framing. Looks like a light show in the evening illuminates a lot of stuff judging from the buoys with lamps / light switches. Tfs!

Hi Lars,big buildings and a lovely view on the river too in this composition very rich as usual,a mix between the chaos of the city and the peace of the river where i can see a black cormorant too. Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Ciao Lars, great view of fantastic buildings, superb sky, excellent clarity, splendid light and wonderful colors very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

pierrefonds (92929) 2019-02-08 4:37

Hi Lars,

The distance between the two bridges is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the buildings. The light is bringing out the colours. Have a nice day.

jmdias (91200) 2019-02-08 4:57

lars

nice view of the skyscrapers, each one in a style. the repetitive big houses in bricks and the river are nice details too. the name of the river looks difficult to speak.

take care

Hej Lars,
En v鄟digt snygg bild av ganska vackra byggnader av oliks stilar och storlekar. I f顤grunden fina diagonaler runt vattnet och en elegant inramning av tr輐. Mycket bra f酺ger och ljus.
Trevlig helg,
Gert

Hello Lars,
We have blinked through Rhode Island a few times, but have never stopped at Providence. It looks like a pleasant town, maybe we should stop next time.

Hello Lars,
Wonderfully taken the picture from above the river crossing downtown Providence.
Older architecture's design of the lower building from red stones, contrast the modern glassed windows prominently above.
Allocated well the picture space.
Have a nice weekend,
Ike

ktanska (36249) 2019-02-09 1:04

Hi Lars,
It is surprising to see such a classic high rise building from 1928 from this city. Despite those buildings this has cosy provincial feeling. I always like to be near the water so the foreground looks very nice to me.

Dag Lars,

Us foto's zijn steeds van hoge kwaliteit en prachtig van details.
De verschillende bruggen en de hoge gebouwen maken wel heel veel indruk.
Schitterend foto werk, bedankt

Prettig weekend,

Hallo Lars,
Rivieren of kanalen in een stad zorgen steeds voor extra charme. Een ligging aan zee maakt het ook vaak mooier.
Hier maak je excellent gebruik van het water en de brug om een aantrekkelijke voorgrond te geven aan het beeld van de hoogbouw.
De compositie is heel goed en het beeld heel evenwichtig.
Mooie presentatie van een toch veel minder gekende hoofdstad.
Vele groeten, Paul

macjake (92241) 2019-02-09 21:52

Hi Lars
its too bad we don't see more photos of this city on TE, looks so photogenic, especially from here. The building on the right reminds me so much of the Russian built tower in Warsaw. awesome views, awesome lighting and sharpness. perfect. cheers

Hi Lars,
beautiful panoramic view from this less popular spot of the US.
Attractive high rise buildings captured with a wonderful foreground.
There are several bridges, a water aspect, also some red buildings...
Colors are fantastic and the sky is also so nicely decorated with the lovely clouds.
Very well composed at great weather.
Excellent work!!

cornejo (60988) 2019-02-11 10:34

Dag Lars,
Even deze "vergeten" foto beoordelen.
Hoewel ik niet ben vergeten hoe we hier liepen en uiteindelijk bij een Hamburger tent uitkwamen. Maar de hamburgers waren zeker net zo goed als deze foto.
groet Rob

Hello Lars, the waterplace park should be the green lung in Providence. Promenades have been planned to walk around the water. Three remarkable buildings dominate the city by their size, they are located in the city business district. Sharp shot, fine colors
