Description

Once left the road I pass through a little valley filled with rosebay willowherb (Epilobium angustifolium), the one you've seen before in the Ginals-series, but I've never seen so many of these flowers together, reaching up to about 2.5 meters (8 feet) height! I'm dwarfed by these flowers, that I never have seen this tall. Shooting myself with little telelens is fun: putting the cam on tripod, pointing, clicking and there I run, 10 seconds time to take my postion and *click* there I am, as if I was waiting there a long time for the photographer to shoot.... :) Minolta X-700 (Fuji Sensia 100, 100 mm) Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments

Glad you put yourself in the pic..gives real perspective on how tall those beautiful plants are..I guess we have to complement the camera on a great shot seeing as though you're in front of it ...LOL

So nice to see you Jan-Carel ;o)))) and an excellent idea also to could really see how height are these incredible flowers ! Never seen flowers like these before ! For shure the good air of the mountains make them grown, and grown again ;o)))) Or maybe an alien flower ? I love them, its very impressive and with a gorgious color ! 10 seconds for run and take the pose.... a good performance indeed ;o))) Have a good day my friend ! Hugs.

Including yourself in the photo really gives scale to the flowers - otherwise they would have looked much smaller. The waterfalls I shoot are the same - much, much bigger in real life than they look in the photos. This photo is a terrific capture, and thanks for the sprint to share it!!! :)

Me neither, never seen those flowers blooming so abundantly and in that numbers and size. Indeed you seem to be nothing more than a dwarf :-)))Great to see what you look like Jan Carel.
