Water..A Friend and an Enemy !
For +/_ 70% it covers our planet. It can be a Friend and a terrible Enemy ( The Tsunami ..New Orleans ..Bangladesh ..etc etc )
Another view on water.. in good use ..(as an example)we can see photo's of large Sea-vessels at TL Perryhooter or TL Janice and Dawn..Watersport boats .. Like here in Holland a daily life shot of good use of water.. new modern houses with 'Solar energy panels ' constructed on roofs, green around and blue skies filled with white clouds.. build on the edge of rivers and canals ..boats for leisure ..

We have the pleasure this week to receive a large group of Government people from the United States.. in extension to what happen in New Orleans ..These officials came to see on the spot how we Dutch protect our selves against the threat
of water. Go and see:

Thanks folks ...

caused by the flu, but now and than 'jump in TL'

Mooi. Ik hou van het 'ritme' in deze foto john

Blue sky in Holland?!?! This must be some heavy PP. :)) Great shot. Hope you'll feel better soon.

Heyyyy, John! So, you're feeling better? From the looks of this one, you're feeling much better! Nice everything...colors, composition, sharpness. Well done!

Beautiful view John. I particularly like the POV selected, giving prominence to the boat and water in the foreground. Congrats!

Sorry to hear you are sick John. I wanted to send you a get well message, but I see we cannot contact you privately. I hope you are feeling a bit better today.
Good composition and colours. Glad to know the government have gone to Holland to learn about dykes, etc. Where my mum lives in the Fenns, England, the land there was also claimed from the water.

Happy to know you fill better. I was bored of your photos and your notes filled out of "joie de vivre" and humour! This photograph is wonderful. Excellent POV, clearness of the colors, superb framing and very interesting note. I would sail in the canal! Annie

Mooi John; vlakverdeling en kleuren, zo'n lucht heb ik lang niet meer gezien. Mooi zoals nieuwbouw kan lijken op oudbouw door de stijl ervan te handhaven.

He John,

A nice piece of Holland promotion. Your colours look natural. You write as if you are selling water work shares!

Maybe you should correct the perspective a bit next time and us for those pictures a smaller frame.
(en je horizon staat scheef ;=0)

All the best my friend, hope you recover soon,

May I first say... Very nice "NEW" photo of you in your intro...:-))

Lovely composition and nice light on the buildings... I also like the light/shimmer on the water...

Well Done.

Rest up as much as you can my friend...
Hope your 100% SOON.
Kindest Regards
Dawn.
:-)))

Excellent effort John... Glad to see your are back from the bed... Had lots of vitamins? This is an excellent pic... Well done!

Hello John, good to see you semi back, hope you are improving on a daily basis. Lovely photo, with natural colouring and interesting elements, what I would expect of parts of Holland. Not sure about the depth of the black in the frame but that is just me. Many thanks for sharing another part of your country.

Are you still accepting points old chap! Well in that case here are two more for your collection.
A lovely composition. with great colours and framing.
Get well soon.
Thanks for sharing.
Michael.

Welcome back Johnny across the sea! I am glad you are finally feeling up to visiting us here. I have missed you.
Wonderful colors, clarity and POV...tfs!
Hugzzz,
Fran

Hello John!

Glad to see you back on line ! Great note John. Your country did have his share of problems with floods in the past. Your engineers have developped quite an expertise in flood control.

I am looking forward discovering your works again. Keep on clicking.
Robert

Hello John, nice to see you are recovering and returning to us with a very lovely shot. Excellent POV and well exposed. TFS,
Vassilis

Hi John

This is a good shot. The boat is just in the right place and it all comes together in picture. Good composition.

Cheers
BRendon

Beautiful picture with excellent framing. I hope the government officials learn some lessons from the Dutch.

Hi John,
I like your post today very much.
Holland is so beautiful - I love to visit your country - and I come every year.
It's wonderful to see all the water with the pretty plants and birds around. Also a beautiful architecture everywhere as you show us here in your shot. Thanks and greetings

Lovelyh blue sky. We had rain for nearly two weeks now and it was much needed so I'm not complaining but it would be nice to see the sun again.

I like the repitition of the pink housed. Creates a flowing rythm. The green adds nice colour and well framed again.

Hope the flu releases you soon.

Good presentation of Holland John.
Rob

Hi John, Baie mooi foto !!.

The color gradient of the picture is very striking. Blue skies with white clouds almost framed by the brick color of the houses and the darker turbulent water of the channel.

Think I am going to learn a lot on nature / places type photography by studying your work.

Very nicely done

Andre

En dit is ook gaaf. Lekker stekje om te wonen
