Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #153 'Cold evenings'

in #art7 years ago (edited)

The name of this art photograph is: 'Cold evenings'

Today we have almost a documentary photograph but not so entirely. This is one of the ways people in my city like to spend their winter evenings. A seasonal skate ring was build in the centre of the city. It is surrounded by small stands where one can have a refreshment and relax. Mulled wine is very popular in winter. Don't know if you like it but it does warm one up during the cold evenings.

I love the very saturated blue dominating the bottom two thirds. It is complemented with a smaller area of warm colours in the top third. I also find very interesting those three areas of blue amidst the warm colours and the bright areas in the blue. The most interesting element is a girl in the bottom right corner whose shadow appears like as if she is holding hands with the guy. But, what I love the most about it is all those happy people enjoying their time in cold weather. This photograph is a testament to that.

Let me use this opportunity and tell you what happened to me today. My friend @greenrun told me how cold it is in the "coldest part of Nigeria" called Plateau State, right now. That made me interested because I thought that part of Africa is always warm. He explained that 25C (77F) is really cold for them. I almost fell off my chair with laughter. I told him that I was considering myself really lucky with the warm weather when riding my motorcycle at 5C (41F), yesterday. He probably considered me mad but was too kind to point it out. :D

Then he told me of his brother visiting Florida in March and walking around dressed up in a warm winter jacket. He couldn't understand 'girls wearing skimpy things and looking cool in such adverse weather conditions'. (Avg temperature in Florida in March is 20C (71F) :D ) Apparently, he took a walk, what made him feel even colder. I was like... Haa? We are already wearing shorts when temperatures reach 22C (72F) in Croatia. I think people in Finland wear their shorts at 12C or 15C already. :)

Apparently, his brother cut his vacation two weeks shorter because of the cold weather in Florida. That made me fall out of my chair. :D A little true story from both of us on Christmas Eve.

Enjoy the cold weather just as you enjoy the warm, every season is a gift!

Oh. Cool. Thanks for your sharing.

Hello. It is a cool photo. Thanks for your sharing.

I like the contrast between the blue ice and yellow lights in the background. Thanks for sharing another magnificent photo!

Beautiful ice rink. In Moscow, at VDNH there is a similar.

Cool. I really like it :)

Every season is a gift indeed. Happy holidays :-)

very nice pic!

Is this Zagreb? I miss those days while I was living there, especially during Christmas holidays and advent. Drink some mulled wine for me :)

Cheers from Lisbon!

Hey buddy, yes it is. :)
Cheers!

cold blue

An excellent occasion to spend time, this is an active type of recreation that everyone should like. I like the transition between the dominant blue from below and the warm, bright color from above. It's always nice to watch people do not waste their time, but they enjoy it.
I also think it's funny that 25C is cold) we have -18C on the thermometer today, and this is not the limit, it will be even colder, let him come to us, find out what is cold)
Thank you for the photo and the ability to think outside the box at her :)

you are very welcome! :)
