The landscape has never been my thing … because the I never seem to get it right. I totally agree with Ansel Adams, but I have to give this week’s challenge a go.
I wish you a pleasant weekend!!!!!
“Landscape photography is
the supreme test of the photographer
– and often the supreme disappointment. ”
Ansel Adams
As cloud for this entry have I choose the beautiful track “Father Theme” by the Greek female composer Eleni Karaidrou … from the Greek movie “Landscape in the Mist” from 1988.
Good for you for giving it a go, Wivi!
Thanks for the support. *smile
Any time! 😀
…and you managed much better than Ansel Adams… Lovely shots! Have a great weekend!
Thanks for your support … I like the images, but maybe not my best. But everything is relative.
ah…mount Fuji ☺️
Yes, Mt Fuji .. can’t believe that a year has passed already. It was a fantastic trip.
I’m leaving for Taiwan to meet Glaiza, my LDR but by next year I hope Japan 🙂
Andy, Taiwan … how exciting. When I worked on the cruise liner in 1979 .. was it planned that we was going to visit Taiwan, but if we did we couldn’t enter China. I know you will get a fantastic trip. Enjoy … and Japan will always be there and never change: When are you going???
From the 25th onwards for three weeks! lol! Remember how you always reminded me to hurry and go somewhere already? 🙂
Yes, did I ???!!!!! *laughing … you’re on your way now.
Took only years lol 😉
Andy, as they say …. better late than never. So happy for you!!!!!
Thank you so much! ^.^/
🙂 Nothing wrong with your landscapes! I like them. A lot! 🙂
Sweet dreams and have a very good Friday night 🙂 xoxoxo
Dia, you are so such a sweetheart. Had a good night sleep .. and ready to take on our grey and little wet Saturday. Weekend hug to you.
You did a great job.

Jante, thank you … so much!
Beautiful snaps all round, Vivi. I really like the Mount Fuji one. What a great backdrop that shines along with the flowers. Wonderfully done. Same with the Chicago one…and you are sneaky. Can’t see you in the mirror 😀
Mable, thank you so much …. I haven’t checked if I’m in the “cloud” – I think I’m too fare away. Have to check. Moun Fuji is very sneaky too .. because it only normally shows it’s top on clear winter days, we were luck but when we entered the mountian we ended up in a snow storm. Didn’t see anything and was rushed down very quickly. Our guide was so excited for us that Fuji showed it’s full top.
Certainly a bit of luck on your side there, especially when you were a fair bit away. Also luckily you got out of the snowstorm. It really is a brilliant shot of Mt Fuji there, I’ll say it again. Mt Fuji probably wanted to say a quick hi to all of you before going back into slumber once again ❤
Mabel, thank you so much …. our guide she was so excited on our behave. The snowstorm was terrible … we couldn’t see anything, but I have a photo with my foot in the snow up on Mt Fuji.
Always something and the memories. *smile

Thank you so much for the support and plingback.
Beautiful Fuji shot, Viveka.
Stefano, thank you so much … we were very luck that April day .. because Fuji normally only shows it’s top on clear cold winter days. So more luck than skills behind that shot.
Lovely music, Vivi. 🙂 I like the field of rapeseed very much.
I was talking to a lady at zumba today whose son works in Japan and she’s been many times. Thought of you 🙂
Thank you, Girlfriend … thanks for thinking of me. Japan, yes … wouldn’t mind going back. Can’t believe how quick the year has passed. A year ago I woke up in Hong Kong.
just beautiful…
Thank you so much!!!!!
Forgotten to say … long time no see. Lovely of you to visit. I hope that life is gentle on you and your loved ones.
thank you! yes, life’s been good. I’m catching up. been away too long… 🙂
Fantastic news … there is always a light! Totally agree with you, been far too long. *smile
🙂 Excellent quote and I love your Fuji!
Manja, thank you so much!!!!
Excellent collection of landscapes. Coincidentally, the town in France was in a TV show we recently watched.
Biarritz has been my hide away since 1976 – just love the place … I wish I had bought a small flat at that time .. today I need a generous lottery win to buy a cleaning locker. Thank you so much for you support.
Sounds like a plan … good luck.
Frank, more of wish! *smile
Really like what you’ve done with the colors on the pic taken from the train. You don’t have to worry about Ansel Adams caution on that one!
Tom, thank you so much …. that images is all about luck and my Canon’s sport mode … but I like that image too .. because that is what my county is all about in 4 weeks time. Thanks for stopping by. *smile
Beautiful captures!
Thank you so much!!!!
