Going Wide: Lens Artist Challenge # 165

This week Patti at P.A. Moed has set the challenge of “Going Wide”. Thank you Patti for this wonderful topic !

Like many other photographers I frequently use the wide angle lens of my camera for landscapes but as well for city pictures. Photos taken from vantage points are my favorite but I also like city scapes with a beautiful foreground, such as a river or a lake.

Always looking forward to your feedback

As I cut the picture to square the trees on the opposite bank of the pond vanished. The reflection now almost seems to be the real tree.

This for Becky’s wonderful Tree Square Challenge. Thank you, Becky.

Today, I am showing memories of my trip to Japan in 2019 again.

Japanese Gardens are very carefully and beautifully laid out and they always feature a pond with marvelous reflections. I would love to see these gardens in autumn with the colored foliage. Perhaps next year … ?

This is for Debbie’s One Word Sunday Challenge „Pond/Ponder“.

Always looking forward to your feedback.

This is my first contribution to the Thursday Doors Challenge. Thank you Dan, for hosting this wonderful challenge. In my archives I hardly found any door pictures. But I am going to look out for doors, from now on !

While I was traveling through Japan I visited many temples, in Kyoto perhaps too many …
Close to the Philosopher’s Path in Kyoto I looked at Eikando Temple, beautiful and but also very crowded. On a short detour I then discovered nearby Honen-in Temple that was visited by only few people. The temple area was much smaller and the buildings could not be entered but I really liked the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere and aesthetic design of the temple park .
