Odins einäugige Ausblick.
(Odin's one-eyed outlook.)
Autumn morning view of Traunsee from portico of Johannesbergkapelle (Chapel) on Odinstein (Johannesberg), Traunkirchen, Austria.
Because of its softness, I hesitated to submit this, especially in the company of today's diamond cutter digital photography. It was shot in 1996 on a trip made with my mother for her to show me over the country of her birth, at a period in my life when I had no time for photography. I took a zoom lens compact travelling camera, trading sharpness and speed for convenience and framing options. (This is an improvement on the commercial prints I got back then, but my scanner is really just a little camera, so possibly something extra could be squeezed out of it.)
The nearest distant slope is Kleiner Sonnstein, and where its profile meets the water is close enough to due south of the chapel. So the portico faces west, as it should, and the shadows indicate the time, just after breakfast. (See sundial for early November in comment below.) The corniche is just visible above the water line.
Kodak Gold 200-5, Pentax Espio 928.
There are some abstract compositional elements in common with the left hand portion of the previous shot in my stream, but what a contrast...!
