Sleeping Backhoe, Tromso (Norwegian Arctic Circle)

just beautiful quite a contrast the industrial machinery and the beautiful sparse landscape

the colors are stunning as always!!

great shot, nice one

Hay mate!!! Great to see you back:-)
What a stunner...the blue hue is wonderful!! Interesting composition:-)

Welcome back, it has been a while.
Beautiful contrast of man's activities (although dormant in the winter) and the apparently pristine environment.

If this digger starts up immediately after a long and cold winter break, I want to have one too!

Gorgeous blue tones here, my friend. Great to have you back!

It looks so different to when I was there, (well it was summer lol) so much snow, love the cold blueness of the shot JC.

I was just wondering if you were ever coming back!!!! I've been out for a bit, too. Good to be back and glad you are, too. Looking forward to more.

Excellent composition. Powerful. I love the cold blue tones.

Fabulous! Excellent composition! Superb blue tonalities.

i like the blue icy color!!!!

beautiful colors, dj; love the contrast of the natural beauty and the mechanical foreground. nicely composed...

A beautiful color for this unusual landscape shot. Welcome back, DJ. We miss your fabulous shots and stories.

Glad you are back DJ! Great blue tones and amazing composition here!

It must have sweet dreams in such a beautiful place. Great light and colors.

Haven't seen you for a long time, welcome back. Really like the color and icy feeling to this shot. I like the landscape, the purple sky, and a halted mechanical digger waiting for the icy to melt. Nice shot.

Hi! Great to see you back! Excellent compo and super blue!

Hi, welcome back ! Nice blue tones !

Wonderful composition in blue.

Welcome back! I like the blue tones here and what looks like a competition of man with nature having the backhoe in the foreground and the majestic mountains in the background.

welcome back DJ! interesting shot here - with the machinery looking really out of place in this remote landscape... the contrast is telling!

You are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great shot for your come back! :) Love the framing and the colour! Well done!

Great ... your back! And what an impressive return ... I love the background colors and the photo is taken from a great angle ... love the contrast between the surrounding and this machine!

I love blue tones, great, welcome back!!!

Good Tuesday morning and thank you for your email greetings!

We all can only hope, that you really have more time to publish your wonderful photos as today`s image again is. So familiar blue in your picture :)

Great to get your email, all the very best for the move. This is fabulous! the blues are gorgeous and the contrast between man and sleeping beast is fascinating!

5 stars DJ! The colours and this composition are superb! The silhouetted tractor thingee (sorry, I don't know what this is called) is so cool in the shadows, like a left over dinosaur from long ago. Nice to see you back!

Another great picture Jaycee. Just read your e-mail this morning and I wish you all the best in your new venture. I have every confidence that you will do exceedingly well. Your photography is always beautiful.

greatly composed!

I wish you all the best for your new life.

Un joli monde en bleu

Hey mate! Now that's powerful! Great composition! By the way, congrats with your radical decision to move on to N.Y.! I'll bet it feels like a relieve already! :)

This is some cold icy blue!
Happy to have you back!

Wonderfull sky for a nice compo ;-)

i like it when clouds agree with the shot :) this is great my friend

Powerful image of this ominous machine. Great angle and framing. The background sky is awesome, excellent capture.

C'est excellent

Strong, solid forms, great blue tones...

hello, my friend, finally you are back. I missed you here.
Good shot and a different place, Norway. I see you like very much the cold places.

I would sleep too with that loneliness extending out there. Photo formidable mon ami.
Have a great Week end

wow! such a great shot! feeling cold, when look at it! perfect!

The light is marvellous…

Welcome back!!!!!
I love the blue!

great framing, scenery and blue tones

Reminds me of the Werner Herzog film about Anartica --Encounters at the End of the World.

Great contrast between beautiful nature and the digger.

nice modernity + nature = great composition

Love the colors!

Un encuadre y composición excelentes.
Saludos.

So peaceful and tranquil.

Great color in this. Funny - with such a beautiful scene in the background - to stick a giant mechanical claw in the foreground. But I like it. Unique.

SUBLIME

I like the poetry of this bachoe in the blue and the cold. Nice one !
