Normandy Field and Clouds

This photo was taken in Spring 2008. I waited about one year for this scene to recreate. The flowing clouds and dancing shadows were a wonderful contrast to the blue sky and earth tone.

The field overlooks the Channel, toward the island of Guernsey.

  • AmyRalston replied

    Thank you.
    I waited one year to take this picture. Living in Normandie on the coast the weather is always changing, and the seasonal changes are breath taking. Once I saw the light and the clouds I ran to the field. It was worth the wait.

    this one honestly gives me goosebumps!!!!! Stunning and majestic sweep … the sky and clouds … the shadows … and the one tree right at the perfect, golden “thirds” spot!!!!!! WONDERFUL!!!!

  • AmyRalston replied

    Thank you so much, Lois! The inner voice, intuition showed me this image. To live in this picture is so magical that one can forget to take a picture, because it is feeling life. I’m glad I was able to capture it.

    Stunning capture the colours are fabulous!

    I would love to visit Normandie one day – I have links to the Chatuea Josselin :)) not sure exactly where it is but still living in the SW is far enough away!

  • AmyRalston replied

    Exactly …just get in your car. France is so beautiful, as you know. You must check out this part esp. the Mt. St. Michel. Along the coast is so amazing.

    Thank you for your comment, Pamela.

    We will to be sure – just so much to see in this area and the coast here is never ending – Mt St.Michel is on the list – and I can’t spell that should be chateau oh dear :)) Hopefully one day in the holidays we will venture north :))
