At the border
On a birthday party they told me that the houses in the village were I grow up will be removed and replaced by new. The village Bovenkerk was build during Korean war. They build the houses only for 7 to 10 years. After the second world war there was a shortage of houses in that area. The houses stand there now for over 54 years.
Going back to the place were I grew up. Did not find where I was looking for. Then I moved to the play grounds of that area. Yesterday was the first one today the second.

Hi Ruud, what a lovely wood, the trees on the angle look great. Love the colurs and lighting too.
Sorry you couldn't find what you were looking for, I'd have like to see a photo of it.

Hoi Ruud,
Erg mooie warme foto, met heerlijke kleuren en perspectief. Wel vreemd om alle bomen zo scheef te zien. Het ziet er een beetje mistig uit, wat de sfeer van de gehele foto nog mooier maakt.
Groeten,
Niek

p.s. weet je dat je een foutje in je lens info hebt staan (connon)Of heb ik het fout?

The mood, the light, the composition - everything is perfect!

Hi Ruud,

WOW!!! This is such a beautiful photo!!! Love the POV through the tree trunks and the fog in the background adding a mystery to the composition! Lovely colours and sharpness!
Very very well done and TFS :)

Always nostalgic to go back where you grew up.
Lovely photo. Love the mist in the background.

How bent they seem to have grown, Ruud... is there a continuing strong wind in that place ?
I love the mood of the shot, the foggy light is splendid.
TFS

Hi Ruud,
that's wonderful - a little mystic and so beautiful with the myst in the BG and looking from the dark into the light.
Thanks, it's wonderful

Ruud,
Wow. I love the lean of the tree's. It's a wonder someone didn't WS your tilted tree's! (I know it's naturally leaning)
This photo rocks, I live the depth, contrasts and the fairly low POV. Once again, you have shown us how it's done! Great work.
Scott

Oooh
This is one of those shots that just leaps out and grabs you for no discernable reason.
I guess the composition, the simplicity but the graduated light across the frame makes it powerful, mysterious, beautiful.
Amazing work!

Hi Ruud,
I always find very comforting to see beautiful forests in health like this one. The planet requires really for it to remove toxins that others impose to it.

I like the point of view which you took. It gives to the light a place of choice in your composition. As if its rays advanced all gently for don't frighten the shadows which must be permanent guests in this beautiful place. Bravo! Annie

back to you're roots
goede plek om op te groeien, prachtig licht, lekker spannend op rechts, super!

Hi Ruud,
You created a wonderful mood here, the light seems to be imprisoned just in the middle of the trunks I like to see bent as in a magic land. Congratulations.
Mary

Interesting how all these trees lean in one direction, as if retreating from the light. Great mood with lush green and misty atmosphere...
Cheers

Hi Ruud

Fantastic repetition of the tree trunks with excellent sharpness, graphism & contrast. The bg fog & mist add mood & atmosphere. Tfs!

Very nice shot. The colour is very restful and the slanted trees are very interesting

Don't know how i miss this one. This is just like a painting. Love the mood it creates. Beautiful colour and nice work on the lights. Well captured.

Hi Ruud:

A stunningly beautiful emerald visual. I love the light,composition and balance... Perfect...... thanks Ruud......Roman:0)
