Il paesaggio attorno al Kap Arkona ripreso dall'alto del suo faro. Capo Arkona (in tedesco Kap Arkona) è un promontorio nell'isola di Rügen nel Meclemburgo-Pomerania Anteriore, in Germania; costituisce la punta della penisola di Witte appena pochi chilometri a nord del Parco nazionale di Jasmund. Prima della riunificazione tedesca, era il punto più settentrionale della Germania Est, sotto il nome Gellort. Sul capo sono presenti due antichi fari, uno edificato nel 1827, l'altro nel 1902. Il primo è uno dei più vecchi fari ancora esistenti del mar Baltico e venne costruito dal famoso architetto Karl Friedrich Schinkel. La fortezza-tempio di Arkona era il centro religioso e politico del principato slavo dei Rani. Il tempio, che era dedicato alla divinità Svetovid, ospitava un importante oracolo equino al tempo degli Slavi, quando era diffusa la credenza che uno stallone bianco potesse decidere pace e guerra. Nel 1168 Arkona venne distrutta dagli invasori danesi (vedi Absalon), questo evento precedette la cristianizzazione forzata degli abitanti della regione. Al giorno d'oggi è restata solo circa un quarto dell'antica fortezza, visto che il promontorio di gesso sulla quale venne costruita è stato lentamente eroso dal Baltico; attualmente sono in corso scavi finalizzati al suo recupero. Il nome del promontorio è stato attribuito ad un transatlantico tedesco, il Cap Arcona.(Wikipedia) Buona visione a tutti.

Very beautiful this very natural photos with colors that are calm but at the same time movement to the pictures!
Bello also the full-bodied but not ominous sky blends well with the portion of the earth!
Beautiful also the decision to give the same importance to the earth and the sky in a way that everything is balanced!

Although with a central shot in broad daylight or almost I would say (maybe I'm wrong) you managed to give an excellent rendering to the image, the colors blend very well with each other and the light is very well managed compliments.
