There are people who travel to Kenya to photograph elephants and others who journey to Ireland to capture rainbows – well, the distant is so close, elephant gray near Ulm and the infinitely colorful palette near Ettelbruck – how wonderfully small the world is.

Hello Christine and Stefan,
you have to be at the right place at the right time. ☺ Although that is not entirely true in this case. We were at the Ettelbrück train station 10 minutes earlier, but the rainbow was not there yet. If we had gone back, it might have already disappeared. So we took the pictures right there.
Thanks for the nice comment.

Hello Jeanny,
Really, like a postcard, if it weren't for the shy Dents de Midi, which unfortunately hide behind clouds all too often this year...
Best regards
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
we have experienced a few times that some Swiss mountains are too shy to reveal themselves. Not only the Dents-de-Midi on this day, but also the Jungfrau stubbornly hid behind the clouds when we were at Niesen-Kulm. One can certainly understand that a Jungfrau is so shy. ☺
Thank you for the kind comment.
Best regards
Hans and Jeanny

Hey you two, this is really a postcard motif - a truly beautiful picture of a fascinating area, and what is so shy.... well, maybe this mountain just wants to be looked at more closely.
Best regards, Stefan Kilian

Oh my! Stefan - our sunny boy :-)
But don't drink too much of that wine while photographing, so the pictures don't come out crooked :-) :-)
Well spotted!
Cheers, Schumi

Hello Jeanny,
undeniably, between pixel and 1/250 the pleasant moments of a photo tour...

Hello Tobias,
there are computer correction programs for crooked images...
best regards
Stefan

Well, for example, I hardly use any computer programs to optimize my images; almost everything I have is original!
It was already good last Friday that I only went to the Gäubodenfest in Straubing after taking photos :-), because after 6 Maß beers, you just can't keep photographing!

Hello everyone,
@Tobias: well, we have to defend Stefan. The picture is of course a photomontage, he wouldn't have managed such a large glass. ☺
@Stefan: For us, there were only beautiful moments on this 2nd of August: the unique Marchés Folkloriques, the peaceful boat trip, the excellent lunch, and the digestion-promoting walk afterwards. And all of this in wonderful weather: simply perfect!
Greetings from Luxembourg.

Hello everyone,
I really like this photomontage. A great idea that made me laugh a lot. It reflects a wonderful day we spent together.
Best regards, Christine

I already noticed that it was a photomontage! When I first saw the image in small size, I thought the glass was standing on a table with the Stafen sitting in the background, but when I clicked on it, I recognized it by the glass itself, because otherwise the background would have to look different! But still well done!

My opinion: "Well then, cheers to the beauty of nature, to the fun of photography, and to traveling together. The photo montage is really well done.

One stands breathless and completely fascinated before such a natural spectacle.
An impressive photo. Best regards, Stefan Kilian

Hello you two,
Congratulations on this wonderful photo. Here again, the fascinating beauty of nature is revealed.

Good evening Marina,
thank you for the positive review. I must admit that it was not easy to photograph this floral splendor, as the many fine stamens are somewhat restless not only for the eye but also for the camera's autofocus.

Singing crows? Probably a nice cat's music...

Hello Jeanny,
a very good close-up of a leek (Allium). These buds are still very young, making a definitive identification difficult. I would (without guarantee) guess garlic, Allium sativum.
Best regards, Karl

Hello Karl,
nice that there is someone again at landschaftsfotos.eu who knows (almost) everything.
Thank you.

Hello Jeanny,
you’re making me quite embarrassed.
I know terribly little and constantly have to look things up in books. Let’s just agree that the books know (almost) everything and I am merely a user of this book knowledge.
Otherwise, the comment would really be a bit embarrassing for me.
Still, thank you for the well-intentioned praise.
Best regards, Karl

Good morning Karl,
don't be so modest. I did write "almost" everything.
No one knows everything, but it is important to know where to find it, for example in books. Most people don't even make the effort.
Best regards
Jeanny

Hello Enrico,
this shot cost me quite a few nerves. It was pretty windy that day and the cornflowers kept moving, making it almost impossible to photograph a single one.
Thank you for the kind words.
Jeanny

Hello Hans,
a very well-executed shot. I can understand the effort it took to photograph the bloom like this. Even a slight breeze can ruin the photo in a fraction of the exposure time.
I sometimes use strong sheets as windbreaks. During my plant observations, I always carry laminated (waterproof) quadrant cards, which help as wind protection in light wind.
Best regards, Karl

Hello Jeanny,
a beautiful high-contrast shot of the Shore Bindweed, also called Shore Fence Bindweed.
The plant has several other rather amusing names in different regions due to its growth habit, such as Schlangenwenda (Swabian Alb), Bettseicherli (Geislingen, Göppingen), Regeblume (Switzerland, here with the belief that tearing off the flowers brings rain), or several terms in East Frisia: Düfels-Neigarn [Devil’s Sewing Thread], Theeköpke [Teacup] or Pisspott; in Graubünden, Heizenberg it is called parvenglas; since the flower only opens during the day, Dagblome in Emden, etc.
Best regards, Karl

Hello Karl,
those are funny names for this beautiful and tough blossom. In the gravel bed of the tracks, there was otherwise nothing living to be found here. That's why I believe it survived the weed-killing train.
Thank you for the positive rating and the interesting explanations.
Best regards
Jeanny
