A typical view from Holland

Grey sky, an oncoming rain shower, a dike, a house on that dike and lush green. Typical Holland. Yes indeed. This picture I took of the lock house at the windmills at Kinderdijk, during the Lowlands TL-meet last september.

After the TL-buch went on the boat the wet hell was unleashed, but only for a short time. Here you can see the shower coming whil the sun is stil shining behind me.

Hope you enjoy the view!

Hello Hans!
Fantastic light and lovely grey sky!
Really wonderful colours and very good point of view!
I like your frame, too!
Best regards!
Lili

What is so nice about this Hans is that it is SUPER sharp, without being pixely! The colors are nicely saturated without noise! I love it! Nice observance of thirds here! You do a good job of shooting with a N*K*N that is only .00005 pixels. HA!
XOXOXOXOX......B-)

de villa komt goed uit met die
dreigende wolken.
Ik vraag me af wie die ereboer is!

Hi Hans,
This typical view from Holland is a beautiful visit card! What a a moody atmosphere! I like much the nice contrast with the enlightened greeneries in FG and the cloudy and low sky. Excellent use of light. Very beautifully done! Annie

Hans, you paint a vivid picture in my mind with your notes, and back it up very well with your picture. I really like the way you have sharpened the photo to bring the detail out on the house. The colours in the groundcover and leaves show a nice natural variation of the greens, contrasted nicely with the grey sky.

Hello Hans,

what a beautiful place, I love seeing house next to the water, especially one like this, beautiful architecture, I like the huge windows and the "straws" that grow in the water, excellent colours and details,

Cheers,
Sweety

p.s we are looking forward to your visit too...:D

a very beautiful choice to give me desire one day for perhaps coming to return to me account by myself of the beauty of Holland.
This green on this gray sky announcing the rain gives fabulous colors for a result which is to it him too. I like the reeds which seem curved by the breath of the wind. That gives a side in more alive to your photography.
