Comme la neige a neige, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

Ah ! comme la neige a neigé !
Ma vitre est un jardin de givre.
Ah ! comme la neige a neigé !
Qu’est-ce que le spasme de vivre
À la douleur que j’ai, que j’ai !

Tous les étangs gisent gelés,
Mon âme est noire : Où vis-je ? Où vais-je ?
Tous ses espoirs gisent gelés :
Je suis la nouvelle Norvège
D’où les blonds ciels s’en sont allés.

Pleurez, oiseaux de février,
Au sinistre frisson des choses,
Pleurez, oiseaux de février,
Pleurez mes pleurs, pleurez mes roses,
Aux branches du genévrier.

Ah ! comme la neige a neigé !
Ma vitre est un jardin de givre.
Ah ! comme la neige a neigé !
Qu’est-ce que le spasme de vivre
À tout l’ennui que j’ai, que j’ai !…

Bonjour Serge,
This looks so cold! Lots of snow and ice here and a pale winter sunlight. It really conveys the mood of a harsh winter very well. The curve of the lake adds dynamism to the photo and I like the pattern of the ice as well.

Bonjour Serge,

It looks as if winter has come with a vengeance, from your photograph.
You have used the curved edge of the pond/river to make a very successful guide and also, to emphasise that the water now has a hard, icy surface!
The winter trees, edging the curve, look thin and emaciated as if chilled by the cold!
Your photograph is full of atmosphere.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Serge,
A typical cold day in winter when the colours almost disappear. There is a bit blue and pink in the sky, but the rest of the photo looks almost monochrome. Ice and snow and the dark branches of the trees without leaves. The few colours and sharp details make it look like an etching,
Regards,
Gert

Bonjour Serge,

Tu as eu une bonne idée d'utiliser le poème d'Émile Nelligan pour présenter ton sujet. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails de la neige sur la glace et sur le bord de la rivière. La lumière met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

Salut Serge,
Très bel effet avec cette luminosité qui donne un aspect presque argenté à la photo. Très bien composée avec cette courbe et cette rangée d'arbre en fond, excellente netteté, bien fait.

Miguel82 (47110) 2020-02-20 12:22

Serge, the lake is frozen and its banks are covered with ice. The wind must add more feeling of cold. Pleasant winter scene. Fine colors, good sharpness, nice song, amitié.

Hello Serge, My French is very poor so I can't appreciate this poem. When I see the snow I think about the Adamo's song Tombe la neige. This year I haven't seen the snowing. Wonderful winter landscape.

Kind regards MAlgo

bertolucci (14052) 2020-02-21 2:58

Bojour Serge, that's a beautiful and integrated image-text combination. The image is full of atmosphere and is also to be enjoyed as a landscape-graphis. Excellent. Bert.

Bonjour Serge, a special light that highlights the various textures of the frozen water, the muddy banks and the trees.
The trees are beautifully silhouetted against the pale sky.
A lovely scene.
Kind regards, Jean.

ChrisJ (171222) 2020-02-21 8:25

Bonjour Serge,

An apt image that illustrates the words of the accompanying poem. I like the layer of fog in the bg too, as it add mood and atmosphere. Good sharpness and graphism. Tfs!

mkamionka (73374) 2020-02-23 1:10

Bonjour Serge,
fantastic composition. The scene is nearly black and white. I like very much the light effects across the whole scene. A very special effect with the fog which is brightly lit behind the trees. It adds a mystical touch.
Great exposition under challenging but rewarding conditions,
Very well done,
M
