Good evening Marina, you have brought us a beautiful Cliff of Moher shot from Ireland. It differs not only in the viewing angle but also fundamentally in the weather from mine, which in turn highlights the unique diversity of Ireland.
Best regards
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
thank you. We were incredibly lucky with the weather – 1.5 days of rain in 16 days. However, we did not expect such icy wind conditions; next time we will be prepared for that ;o). Even in bad weather and using a polarizing filter, our lenses are still fast enough to deliver the most incredible photos... sometimes we are amazed ourselves. I really like your Cliffs of Moher photos; I wasn’t able to bring back comparable shots. That’s part of the fascination for me... being able to "capture" an incomparable moment or impression with the camera.
Have a great weekend, Marina

Good evening Marina
I think we agree on this: Ireland cannot be seen, Ireland must be experienced! And capturing this "experience" in photos is not always easy. For years I had a "special camera" for this: a ballpoint pen and some sheets of paper, but you have succeeded in impressively capturing the fascination of Ireland visually, making viewing your pictures an experience.
Greetings from Blonay

Hello Stefan,
thank you very much. The beauty of Ireland is actually hardly capturable with the camera. I had high expectations of the country... which were far exceeded. I am still intoxicated by the diverse impressions. Our trip to the "Ring of Beara" was one of the absolute highlights of the vacation for me.
Best regards, Marina

Hello Stefan,
I can see the ship, but where exactly is the mouse hole? ;-)
Nice picture, by the way.

Hello Stefan,
wonderful shot, I especially like such idylls... even though the smoking chimneys do not bode well for the temperatures in April. My next vacation might lead to England. Wonderful that I can already get a first impression here.
Best regards, Marina

Thanks for the comments; a rainy day, and instead of a scenic cliff hike, we took a bus tour – and once again I managed to capture an atmospheric image, one rarely found on a postcard.
By the way, we suspect the mouse hole is on the right side: a rather narrow harbor entrance...

Thank you Christine,
as the saying goes: always keep your eyes open and have your camera with you, then nothing can go wrong.

Good evening Hans,
this red guest in your garden is called a lily beetle and is the most common lily pest in Europe. As the name suggests, it feeds on various types of lilies but also on lily of the valley, crown imperial, and onions. They can develop up to three generations. The only remedy is regular handpicking of larvae (you can find them under the leaves and they are red-colored). Otherwise, the beetle will eat the food meant for your snails.
Best regards, Christine

Good morning Christine,
thank you very much for the detailed information. Landschaftsfotos.eu is educational, you always keep learning. Then I will go in search of these larvae, I don't want our snails to suffer. ;-)
Best regards
Hans

Good evening André,
Mirror water images are not always easy, as the water can suddenly start moving. But your photo turned out well, I like it.

Hello Manfred,
to my knowledge, this cactus is also called
"mother-in-law's seat" ...

Hello Christine,
as I can see, the roses are also blooming in Switzerland. However, here you have once again created a masterpiece from a blossom.
Best regards

Hello Hans,
many heartfelt thanks for your praise.

Hello Hans, no wonder the bird feels comfortable with you, with the beautiful flowers! And it seems the physical well-being is also taken care of with all the snails...
Best regards
Stefan

Yes Stefan, that is probably what you call natural pest control. But Hans wouldn't be happy if the birds ate all the snails. After all, snails are among his favorite subjects.

Hello Hans,
nice shot, at first I thought these were our clematis. Until it occurred to me that we haven't taken a photo of them yet...
Best regards, Christine

Thank you Christine.
So there is a similar clematis in Blonay, what a coincidence! ;-)

Thank you Antje for your comment, it was actually a bit of play with the (back)lighting conditions and the sparkling waves, and a good exercise in case we ever go to the sea...
best regards

Hello Stefan,
for me, such photos belong to the master disciplines of photography, as pink reflections and/or sunspots quickly sneak in (at least in my photos).
Best regards, Marina

As already mentioned, it was just a bit of fun - and I was also surprised by the fascinating result...
