Awakening spring

During my short stay in Toulouse I went for a walk after my breakfast and before my departure to the airport.

I didn't have a clue were to go in a town I never was and even without a map [very unusual for me!], I just took a direction of a place which appeared to me to be interesting: a park. The views in the park unless the bit chilly weather, was quite surprising. In the middle of Toulouse I found a nice well maintained Japanese garden, including a typical Japanese building and bridge. A gorgeous place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Well I named it "awakening spring" not all the trees and flowers are in full bloom, but I couldn't resist to post this "spring impression" from Toulouse. Hope you don't mind.

PP work:
Cropped, leveled (1.5 degree CCW) adjusted contrast and brightness, removed with clone tool an annoying part in the grass and behind the trees (all minor rectifications) resized and add frame with text.

Bonjour Hans
De superbes couleurs dans ce jardin japonais, et quel calme ! Cordialement,
Antoine.

Hoi Hans.
Ik dacht al, zit hij nou ook al in Japan, maar na goed lezen bleek dat niet.
Mooie opname. Heldere kleur en scherp. Ziet er allemaal wel erg netjes uit, maar dat is typisch Japans.
Fijne Paasdagen.

Although this is apparently not quite level (judging by the slant of the roof), the composition is lovely and the colours superb. I really like the way you've placed that slope in the foreground

HA!! this was not what I saw when I looked out the window this morning Hans....
What I saw was a black-and-white world....
Snow had fallen in the early morning and for the first time in my memory we had a White Easter... so maybe we should change the song eh??

A lovely capture here of a beautiful garden.
Would be real nice if you could go and see it in a week or two... when there's a bit more flowers and maybe a bit more green! ;-)

Cheers,
Anneke

Hi Hans,
Very quiet place! Image well composed with nice colors. I particularly like the play of shadows on the foreground and the red touch given by the little bridge. Bravo! Annie

Those Japanese gardens are usually nice, tranquil spots, and indeed nice places for a shoot, Hans. Nice compo and good saturation of these contrasting colours.
Has the Nikonian been jinxed to the dark side, I wonder?
ROFL.
