Description
We spent a beautiful, sunny afternoon outdoors, on the bank of the river (Emme). The time spent there was wonderful and relaxing. At the end of the day we received a bonus: this beautiful sunset.
On the other side it is situated the Castle of Burgdorf (Built: 1200 AC).
The Emme is a river in Switzerland. It rises in the Alps between the peaks of Hohgant and Augstmatthorn in the canton of Bern. The Emme is 80 km long and flows through the Emmental and into the Aar below Solothurn. The drainage area is 983 km�. The average discharge at the mouth is approximately 20 cubic metres per second. The maximum discharge can be up to 500 cubic metres per second.
The Emme is known for its sudden variations in water discharge. The narration Die Wassernot im Emmental (The flood in the Emmental) byJeremias Gotthelf describes very impressively the largest well-known flood, which occurred August 13, 1837. This and other floods led to the building of numerous canals and dams in the 19th century.

L Very nice lighting in this evening image. I really like all the elements you included in this composition. They help to tell the story of what is there by the castle. Putting the subject near the edge causes tension which can attract interest,

Thank you, Linda! You are a sensitive artist! Indeed I meant this in my capture! :)
