Burg Landshut Photo

Photographer’s Note

For a Grand Panorama, on a rocky promontory, 3km (1.75 miles) to the southeast of Bernkastel Kues, stands Burg Landshut. Once the domain of the archibshops of Trier, the property dates from the 11th Century but long ago fell into ruins. You don't come here for these ruins, but for one of the grandest panoramas in the entire Rhineland and Mosel areas. Even the steepest slopes on the way to this belvedere are covered with vines.

Excellent point of view Hans. The addition of the vines creates a special atmosphere as if we prepare to attack the castle. Hidden by the vines, the attack is imminent. The foreground is sharp and contrast with the blue background.

Mooie compositie Hans, op de voorgrond het groen, de ruïne of kasteel, en de mooie hemel met de prachtige wolken. Mooi werk! Goede nota ook.

Une très belle composition Hans, les feuillages du premier plan mettent en valeur l'ensemble de la composition.
Merci pour la note d'accompagnement.
Le petit plus sur la photo c'est le drapeau qui flotte fièrement sur la tour.
Très bien Hans.
A very beautiful composition Hans, the foliages of the foreground highlight the whole composition.
Thank you for the note of accompanying.
The small more on the photo it is the flag which floats proudly on the tower.
Very well Hans.

En je komt er ook voor ... de wijn ;-)).
Leuk dat je ons ook de burcht up close geeft. Je perspectief doet het echt groots lijken en de wijnranken zijn een goed item in de foto: de ruine tegenover het leven, het grijs tegenover het groen, en ze doen ons direct aan een wijnstreek denken. Goede foto!

Nice shots of Bernkastel-Kues,

but most of the photos are not sorted right:
Bernkastel-Kues, Trittenheim, Leiwen, Trier, Irrel, Neumagen, Piesport, Zeltingen, Wehlen, Kröv, Traben-Trarbach are situated at the lovely river Moselle and belong politically to Rheinland-Pfalz / Germany (not to Nordrhein-Westfalen) !
Also Koblenz belongs to R-Pfalz,
Zweibrücken belongs to the Saarland / Germany.

If somebody needs certain photos of the Moselle-Area or the area of Bonn (or esp. of Mallorca / Baleares / Spain), please let me know.
