      @@aows Here the summer was in May, June starts with about 10 degree. We go to Sognefjorden this summer, as numerous wind power plants are planned around here now, even above Sognefjorden, next year we go to France, and if the madness is then not stopped, we resettle in Alpes Mancelles by the upper parts of the Sarthe River in 2026. My oldest daughter learns French and loves the language, that's why we decided to flee there away from the wind power plants in Norway. The cultural landscape there seems to resemble that around Lake Mjøsa, so I decided to continue my photography there.

    It was probably easier for you as a newcomer to spot opportunities for pictures in the community that local photographers fail to appreaciate.

    • @aows
      @aows  21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      For sure! You always pay more attention when the environment is new to you. And seeing it through a fresh pair of eyes is not always easy to do, especially if you live there.

    La foto del coyote es increíble, Adrian. Me encanta.
    Me gusta además tu forma pausada de presentar la historia y tu perspectiva hacia la fotografía; me siento muy identificado. Enhorabuena por encontrar un espacio al que puedas sentirte como en casa. Entiendo que tras varios años viviendo de manera seminómada tiene que ser un descanso muy agradecido. Te mando un abrazo y a ver si en un viaje nos encontramos!

    As a Native to Napa Calif, now living in Portugal I understand your love of the beauty of Calif and the bay area. Hoping you get a chance to enjoy the beauty of the wild mustard in the vineyards and the foggy mornings and nights in the Napa hills and vinyards, the soure of my best childhood memories

      That's probably a good idea. I try to keep the camera in my sling bag as much as possible, but it's always good to keep an eye out. So far, I haven't felt unsafe at all, but you never know.
