Cherry blossom season 2014 in Germany


The cherry blossom season has started in Germany!!!

;-)


Though we've many cherry trees in the spa gardens of our hometown,
only two of them are 'Prunus serrulata', so Japanese Cherry.


Here you see the location of the two Japanese cherry trees.

The Japanese relief stele and Japanese cherry trees are sponsered by Bad Mergentheim's Japanese twin town Fuefuki 笛吹市  in the Yamanashi Prefecture.

Unfortunately the background is not the very best to take great photographs of the cherry trees out of different camera angles - and it's not only the huge and ugly distribution box that frustrates me and my photographic ambitions to capture the cherry blossoms in all directions with a suitable background.

So please conceive your own opinion about my shots of this year's cherry bloom...

  3. Hi Uwe,
    Danke für Deinen netten Kommentar bei mir.
    Das sind also "Deine" Kirschblüten....wunderbare Bilder.
    Gefallen mir sehr gut, ich selbst knipse ja einfach nur so rum und hab eigentlich gar keine Ahnung, was ich da tue....vielleicht wird das noch.

    Uwe- Thank you for linking up with Life Through the Lens. I am glad you found the link and joined in. It was fun to chat about the cherry blossom trees.

  19. Absolutely gorgeous! I love cherry blossoms and your photos totally capture how beautiful they are.

  20. Wow, what magic did you use to the second image, Uwe? With wide-angle lens, unnecessary part comes into view, so your close-up shots are clever and fascinately done. I like pale pink sea of blossoms against the blue sky. Anyway it’s nice to know cherry blossoms started blooming almost at the same time with my corner of Japan. I remember your last year’s post about cherry trees from Fuefuki City.
