For Fons - An and Frank

My Belgium friends and I say thank you vfor showing me lovely Brugge.

The Belgium people are, in my optics, like the Dutch, very free open and warm!
Direct to the point and less formal than I am used to
in India.

The Dutch have there *herring* (bbrrrrr) and the Belgiums 'Wafels' The last I like a little more :-)
(Sorry Johnny Tulip ) *__*

About India;
Do not get me wrong but I miss the TL trip and friends in Europe, also Peep from France

I am happy to be with my family and tomorrow I am going away to the Sth with my parents, the coast , for a week, Kerala to be precise.
A nice Hotel and hope to make good photo's to show you
when back in US

There is Internet in the Hotel so I can stay tuned.

Blessings to all friends and stay well
Greetings from Maharashtra, INDIA

Hey! I will happily have the herring!!
But which is it that has caused this image to seem a little tilted? -- Aha! A wide angle!
It would have been perfect but for that. I shall do a WS when the server comes back up again (in an hour and a half)
Correction: I would have done a WS if you'd enabled that -- Ah well! Try it yourself, my dear: It wants a little perspective cropping.
Great colours and lovely to hear from you again

Dear Vandana didi,

Your composition is fantastic. Beautifully presented image where colors are bright, luminosity is balanced and view point if smart. Such a fabulous moment has been shot. Well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Nice landscape shot. Good composition and beautiful colors.
Well done,

Wow Vandana
I am a little late, but never mind.. Dear.. this is fantastic
like the others and as Silke said.. it looks a little tilted.. but it can also be something optical, since the right side of the photo seems ok (the 10-20 zoom maybe)
Welldone and have a good time with your Folks in India
John

Hi Vandana
Nice soft pleasing colors in this image - the angle of the buildings is extreme enough that it works for me. Sounds like you had a wonderful time and tasted some interesting "stuff".

Thanks for visiting my road trip images and posting critiques. They are much appreciated.
Dan

Okay then Vandana,
I hope you thoroughly enjoy yourself at the coast and that you pop-in once in a while. Be sure not all dutchmen love herring. (Ad hates it).
A beautiful view on Brugge - thanks for showing it and your warm notes.

There is a definite tilt indeed, Vandana... but I'll forgive you as I know you can't use your favourite PP program now. A very nice PoV though, looking out on the entrance of the Beguinage. From the spot where I took the group shot, if I remember right ;o).
Nice colours and a lovely looking sky.
TFS, big hug from me and Ann.
Hope you enjoy your holiday in the south of India!

Hi Vandana!
So you prefer Belgian Wafles over Herring? Why not try both at the same time: if waffles are good, and herrings are good, how great must a herring waffle be? (OK, let John Tulip test this one first!)
You have a nice ambiance in this picture, looks like a must visit kind of place!
Cheers
Otto

Hi Vandana,

Very impressive picture. Great colour and composition. Well done. tfs. Steve

Hi Vandana,
Good capture I like the inclusion of the weeping willows. Great view of the river, bridge and those photogenic buildings.
Though perhaps the picture could use a slight anticlockwise rotation.

Best regards, Daniel

PS: I'm sure you are enjoying your time back in India :-)
