Merry Christmas to all my dear TE friends.

Ciao Kasia,it's nice to see you for the Christmas wishes. And it's nice too to see a pic from a place where i been me too. This is a fantastic winter scenery,very different of the green view that i saw in summer. And your pic is perfect to create a Christmas atmopshere. Great capture in a perfect choice of moment and top quality too. All the best to you and your family and thanks,Luciano

Hello Kasia,
In a predominantly blue environment, the white-lit houses and their partial reflections in the water shine like a beacon of light in the night.
Very atmospheric shot!
Merry Christmas,
Paul

Hello Kasia,
A great view from your rented car, I guess, all alone in the Icelandic darkness. I'm surprised to find such a large and elegant building in what looks like wilderness. The illuminated fa蓷de and reflections create an exciting atmosphere. It's very well exposed to capture all details of the surrounding scenery.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and hope that all is well with you.
Gert

Hello Kasia,
A beautiful photo from Iceland with wonderful deep blue colours alternated with the dark silhouettes of trees. The white house is beautifully and bright lit in the middle and also well exposed. Merry Christmas!

Ciao Kasia, fascinating nocturne shoot with beautiful building, excellent exposure, splendid light and wonderful colors, very well done, my friend, Merry Christmas, ciao Silvio

adramad (73030) 2020-12-25 4:09

Hi Kasia.
A very impressive photo, with this strange blue tone of the landscape, where the illuminated house stands out with its white facade, I think if it is the effect of the Nordic nights with a little light and the white of the snow.
Point of view, sharpness, lightness, color and the chosen composition are excellent.
A very beautiful photo. I like it.
May you enjoy this atypical Christmas, together with your loved ones, with caution.
Very affectionate greetings.
Luis.

Hello Kasia,

Merry Christmas to you and your family.
A extraordinarily picture with the generally blue colour and white house in middle of the picture.
Perfect perspective and depth image.
An excellent composition, nice presentation too.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Witaj Kasiu, to ta sama noc spędzona w wynajętym samochodzie. Niesamowicie wygląda ten oświetlony dom, gdy wszystko wok�ł jest niebieskie. Piękne tez odbicia.
A kości�ł po lewej to chyba ten co na moim zdjęciu tutaj:
https://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/Iceland/Sudurland/Arnessysla//photo1565933.htm
Ja byłam tam w dzień :(. Swoja droga to samotne podr�żowanie na Islandii w zimie jest ryzykowne. Mysmy wiele razy utknęli w zaspach i chociaż nas było wiele os鏏, nie udalo nam sie wyciagnąć samochodu, trzeba było wzywać pług. Tak wtedy zmarzłam, miałam wszystko mokre od tego pchania, był mr霩, wr鏂iłam cieżko chora.

Dobrze, ze udało Ci sie przyjechać do Polski na święta. Trzymam kciuki, żeby tez bezpiecznie wr鏂ić. Dobrze, że ten dziwaczny rok sie kończy. Jaki będzie nowy?
Ja mam bilety na za tydzień :). Czy uda mi się pojechać?

Miłego drugiego dnia i następnych

MAłgorzata

Hello Kasia!

Thingvellir.
The first site of a parliament of the first democratic country in the world.

Many of us seem to publish dark or even nocturnal captures for their Christmas wishing.

I can't wish you a Merry Christmas this year, but a contemplative one, and a good helth for you and all of your family!

Czesc Kasiu,
bardzo ciekawe zdjecie w pewien sposob pasujace do swiat.
To chyba blue hour, tylko te kilka domow odstaje od niebieskiego swiata.
Bardzo wiele osob przestalo byc obecnych na TE ostatnio. To jest dosyc niepokojace biorac pod uwage sytuacje z wirusem i fakt ze wiekszosc TE members to osby starsze...
Zycze wesolych swiat!

Hello Kasia,

Thank you for your good wishes, I hope you are having a happy, Christmas break.

The blue light engulfs the scene and makes the bright, illuminated house stand out, like a silver star, in its midst.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

alvaraalto (42804) 2020-12-29 4:39

Hello Kasia,
Beautiful the white house surrounded by the dark blue darkness of the night as a hopeful beacon points to the future.
Like the light at the end of a the dark 2020 tunnel.
We could use this hope.
Best wishes for a liberating and healthy 2020, Rob

ktanska (44832) 2020-12-29 8:06

Hi Kasia,
Just fantastic view of Icelandic winter. Blue hour tone is very intense and is well contrasted with the illumination of this remarkable little building. I recognize this place where the two continental plates are separating from each other.

ChrisJ (171888) 2021-01-02 5:49

Hello Kasia,

Missed this one. I love the fg reflection of the gables. The intense blue colour and the illuminated white facades of the 4 houses contrast well with each other and the unlit church at left. Tfs!

Hello Kasia
Needless to say you used a spot metering for such a perfect depiction of highlights! I just had a virtual visit to your website and again I tip my hat to your photographic artistic approach that produces crowning achievements wherever you go!
Thanks for the flashes of inspiration!
Cheers

kasia

this nocturne, dark and blue mood is surreal and created a special contrast with the illuminated house with repetitive shapes. excellent. TFS.

take care
