Landscape




The sea. I don’t know what it does to you, but for me it’s the personification of freedom. Every year I eagerly wait for the summer to come, starting with the 1st of May which is the first day we usually spend at the sea-side. This year is going to be different. This year I am at University in England, and it’s going to be very difficult for me to go on a holiday like I used to. Putting the nostalgia aside, I want to bring your attention to this picture. It is landscape photography, which I for one love to do. I am thinking when it comes to photography, it’s all about light, colours, and composition. Nowhere else then in landscape photography can one come across all the variations of the rainbow. In this particular picture we see, the sea-side resort called Vama Veche, which is basically the only place I enjoy back home for a holiday. I have applied a few filters to this image, even though I am not a big fan of post-editing, but in this case it seemed right. I have managed to send out with the picture a tiny bit of the atmosphere that surrounds that area. This takes us back to my last post semiotics. I conceive this image as a sign, and for me, having all those memories back there; it has a certain meaning, significance.  For someone who has never been to that specific place, it will be just another image of a sea-side resort.
