Magnolia heyday at Lauffen 2014



Lauffen vineyard near the town center beneath Katharinenstrasse,
a blessed place and residential area
and one of my favourite spots in early spring to take the first magnolia blossoms.


Currently the magnolias there are in full bloom.


I captures the scenes last Friday morning, right before I started into my work day.


Regiswindis church at Lauffen, Germany,
predecessor buildings of this church are from the 8th century.
Today's church was rebuilt in 1564 after a fire.


Sometimes it's really difficult to focus the right part of that "sea of blossoms",
you really have to find a suitable structure worth capturing within this huddle.


Or: you just take the whole scene...


At the foot of the vineyard...


...the sloe / blackthorn bushes are full-blown as well.

  7. Wunderschoene Blueten ! Hoffentlich wird es bei Euch nicht zu einem Kaelteeinbruch kommen und die rosa Blueten werden braun und traurig.

  13. Hallo Uwe,
    Deine Magnolien sind ja der Wahnsinn!
    Sag mal, so einen grosses Exemplar hab ich ja noch nie gesehen. Unglaublich schön! Du scheinst in einer sehr netten und interessanten Umgebung zu wohnen.
    Danke Dir auch für Deinen Besuch bei mir neulich. Und ne, das waren keine Kirschblüten, sondern die der Blutpflaume.
    Liebe Grüße aus NRW,
    Brigitte

  17. Indeed that magnolia tree is a splendor!
    I am not surprised you are so attracted to it every spring! LOL!
    You have taken gorgeous photos!
    To answer your question in your previous post, maybe a texture in the background but erased on the subject and a little emboss?! ;-)
    Enjoy your weekend!

  18. Breathtaking shots of glorious magnolias! And the location is so nice. “Sometimes it's really difficult to focus the right part of that ‘sea of blossoms’, you really have to find a suitable structure worth capturing within this huddle.” is so true. I experienced the same thing when I walked along Saho River in my latest post, to which thank you for your lovely comment.
