Gone for Andre's fresh air and sunshine. Beautiful pic, and that pink goo makes me feel a little queasy looking at it.

GeorginaS

Pink goo for being a nifty photograph and funny for its literalism.

fuzzyfelt

stunning tulips, lake and mountains!

_Mayday_

Nice shot Andre.

Evo

matthyaouw's picture just made me feel wonderful, I have always wanted a garden path like that.

Beautiful shot Andre.

NoTime

Can I lead you down the garden path?

I vote for the pink goo. That's just plain funny.

cristo

Andre wins for me.. that is a beautiful picture.

_Mayday_

It has a Swiss feel to it for some reason, it reminds me of a view of lake Geneva.

Kurdt

I'm shocked to find Matthyaouw only has two votes.

_Mayday_

Haha! Top 3 get their names in the winners thread! Congrats all I guess.

Mk

Yes, Andre's is certainly quite a beautiful picture, it would probably do well in the photo contest champions thread

Andre

Thanks all, That picture was made here:

Copy paste that in Google Earth. The tulips were in the big square flower bed.

Consider to put that place on the short list to visit when in Europe. It's worth it.

Thanks Evo & Kurdt
I would have loved a garden like that before learning some ecology, as now I know that the pink flowers are an invasive species that will most likely spread and choke out the forest and acidify the soil to the extent that nothing else will ever grow there

Evo

They look like rhododendrons. What are they?

Andre

Definitely rhododendron. It's the season, they're blooming all over the place.

matthyaouw

They are Rhododendrons. I never knew til recently they could be so bad for the ecosystem here:
