Enjoy The Silence

Please take a large view!

The Saar is a river in northeastern France and western Germany, and a right tributary of the Moselle River. It rises in the Vosges mountains on the border of Alsace and Lorraine, with two headstreams (Sarre Rouge and Sarre Blanche, united in Lorquin), that both start near Mont Donon, the highest peak of the northern Vosges. After 246 km (126 km in France and 120 km in Germany) the Saar flows into the Moselle River at Konz (Rhineland-Palatinate), having a catchment area of 7,431 km².

In former times, the Saar was very important for the Saarland industries of coal, iron and steel. Raw materials and finished products were shipped on it by water via the Saar Coal Canal, the Marne-Rhine Canal and the Rhine, for instance, to the Ruhrgebiet or the port of Rotterdam. Although the German part of the Saar has been upgraded to a waterway by deepening, construction of sluices and straightening, there is no significant shipping traffic.

Wow, ein wirklich außergewöhnliches Bild von der Saarschleife... nicht nur die mystische Stimmung und die Farbvielfalt gefallen mir gut; wenn ich an die üblichen Ansichten unseres schönen Wahrzeichens denke, gefällt mir der Schnitt ganz besonders gut. Klasse!

16 This is a great shot, colours, dof, pov, storytelling wise. Why only 16 and not a fave of mine? Something in the composition. I would have taken it from the first turn on the right the river makes, letting more compelling sky in the frame. The river, more distant and small, comparing to the clouds above would have made a very solitary and reclusive subject. Being so near under your feet, makes it less "exotic". Sorry if this seems rubbish, is what I thought looking at it.
