hahah a lovely sight at all these bikes. I think in Holland there are way more than 9 milion bikes....
Anyways, I like this view, but maybe if you would have taken a small step to the left you could show the windmill in the background too! I know that that was not the most important thing you were going to show us, so.... good pic. Good view!

Cheers,
Anneke

Hi Vandana,

Hahaha, I did have to laugh about your line 'Katie Melua a Dutch singer'. We'd wish that was true!! :-) Allthough singing about bicycles, she's not from the Netherlands;
Katie Melua was born in Georgia (former USSR) in 1984 growing up in the capital Tbilici and later the seaside town of Batumi. The family left Georgia when Katie was 8 and moved to Belfast due to her father's profession as a heart surgeon.
But thanks for the compliment of such a wonderful artist being Dutch! ;-)

Hmmm, you're methapor with life's problems got me thinking. You know, in the Netherlands we replace our tires every now and then....

Greetings! Dennis

Hello Vandana
Neet stuff these trusty steeds. Waiting for their masters to return. Always ready, never questioning. Yep, bikes are neet. Good composition letting them "move" int the image.

It's a nice song and a nice singer too, Vandana... but she's not Dutch. True, the Dutch are a nation of cyclers, unlike the Belgians...
Nice compo with the bikes lined up like this.

Good evening Vandana
That's a nice pastoral scene with the fields in the background and these bicycles are a kind of trademark of Holland along with the windmills and the clogs. Very interesting and colorful composition.

Yep Vandana that's Holland, a lot of biking going on. Most tourist think it is easy to bike in Holland because it is flat but because of that there is all the time wind. With a mountain you know where the top is but wind is always there and mostly head on;-)The picture is good I would have given it a bit more saturation, but that's a question of taste.

Hello Vandana,

I like very much the idea in this photo and as well your note.
In the same time, location remembers me our beautiful Easter holiday spent in Holland. We visited at that time the UNESCO site of Kinderdijk which impressed me a lot.
