green is the colour of ireland !

Posted by
Franz (Baden, Austria) on 4 March 2016 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

they say a true irishman (and of course, a true irishwoman!) can distinguish between 53 shades of green! now, i don't know if this is true or not, but in the elaborately designed powerscourt gardens they could certainly apply their skills ...
this little stream tumbles down a man-made wall in the 'japanese garden', one of the sections of the estate.

So pretty... I like the water cascading past the ferns. A lovely composition, I enjoyed! Fifty-three shades of green seems a lot.... but possible, I think! :)

Lots of green and pretty water in this scene. I love that curtain of water falling from that lower "dish".

Emilio Garcia from Pleasanton, United States

What a wonderful effect of those two cascading streams of water. The translucent effect of the curtain of water on the foreground adds the "magic" touch to your composition.
