Photographer’s Note

This is a part of the Baroque Garden of Gottorf Castle in Schleswig, a city in the very north of Germany near ther Danish border. Gottorf Castle is the biggest one in the federal state Schleswig-Holstein and for centuries it was the castle of the Danish kings, who ruled this today German region until 1866.
The castle and the garden are connected by an about one kilometer long wonderful chestnut avenue with a cobblestone pavement.

This garden - beginning in 1637 - was created by Duke Friedrich III von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf and it was the first terrace garden with an Italian baroque layout in middle Europe. In the pond you can see a statue of Hercules.
Here you can see a small overview picture.

Hallo Frank!
Your palace with its beautiful garden is a place I'd certainly like to have a stroll in... Everything in your photo is so neat and precise - like the work of the gardeners...
Danke!
Anton

Hallo Frank

Wieder ein sehr schönes Foto..
Vielleicht wäre es besser gewesen, vielleicht, wenn du den Vordergrung noch "beschnitten" hättest...
Nur so eine Idee.

Guten Tag Frank,
I worship palaces and parapalatial gardens. I like to look and to admire these splendid constructions from shrubs, trees and flowers. This strange how one can magnificently project these places. It is unusual that they gladden eyes of many thousands touring. The substitute of such garden I would like to have at my own house. The nice photo, well shows the masterly skill of gardeners. Reflections of the light and the building in the water of the pool bring to life very much the picture. The nice, quiet composition and delicate colours act photo to a little nostalgic.
Best regards from again rainy Poznań,
Jurek

Frank, c'est une belle composition pour ce jardin bien ordonné. J'aime les dessins et les couleurs. Seul bémol : un ciel blanc, mais on n'est pas toujours maître du temps.

Bonjour Frank,
Superbe image de ces jardins ! L'endroit doit être magnifique et votre photo donne envie de s'y rendre. L'idée de xavshot de supprimer ce ciel blanc est excellente. Votre photo est encore meilleure. Merci.

du hast aber einen schönen garten, frank! *g*
ok, nicht deiner, aber trotzdem toll erwischt - wobei das lob
auch an den gartenbauarchitekten gehen sollte für diese
einmalige anlage.
klasse komposition mit einem guten überblick über die beete
und hecken und dem teich im hintergrund.
good job & grüße aus köln, 19°, noch trocken, thorsten.

Hi Frank
A welcoming garden that you are presenting well with the arrow going to the lake,between the statue and the partially hidden house.
Xavier WS is a good idea.
Have a good day
Charles
