So... Finally!!!
Today the Great Green One came over for another visit.
We agreed to go to Marken. A small island in the former Zuiderzee, right off the coast of Volendam.

Marken (and Volendam) are very typical villages.
In older times (not even that long ago) the people were all in the fishing trade, but since the closure of the sea by the Afsluitdijk, the water has become sweeter and the "lake" has changed very much.

The houses and the villages have stayed quite the same though and thousands of tourists come to visit every year. The strawl around the villages is very relaxing and there's loads to see. Specially the old houses are a joy to the eye.

Hans assured me that this image would be a "hit" on TL, so... before he does, I'm posting this one!
hahahahahahah beat him to it!

We had a most wonderful day together and I certainly enjoyed every minute of it. Hans is great company as some of you might already know.

Took this shot with my daughter's camera since mine is in repair. I was pretty amazed by the pictures this little bugger came up with. Great colors and sharpness.
All I did here was correct the right hand side, as the tower was leaning a bit. Of course I added just a tad of saturation...

Hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed our day today!

Cheers,
Anneke

P.s.: to Hans: nogmaals dank voor de gezellige dag!

Groet uit Zeeland,

Hey that look really kool!!! is that bridge can go up and down? I like those traditional house, they look like barn but not a barn... lol... they just look awesome! Very nice composition and great details. I sure know what you mean, Hans is a great company, friend and a very happy person to have around, :D

Cheers,
Sweety

It isn't the camera that makes the difference, Anneke, it's the photographer!
I feel Hans was right, this will be a hit!
Superb composition! Although there was no blue sky, the scene is light and colourful. Well done!

kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Anneke,

Dat heb ik ook, het is wel absoluut niet hetzelfde gevoel als je eigen camera in je handen te hebben, maar het resultaat valt mij nooit tegen.
Ben hier nog nooit geweest - wij werden gisteren weggeblazen op het pontje bij Wijk bij Duurstede - ook lekker.
Prachtige compositie - heerlijk Hollands plaatje.

Hello Anneke.

Without taking away the talent of our estimated colleague, I do prefer your post (^_^) . Lovely composition and perspective.

PS. I hope you will get back your camera soon.
Cheers!

I really like the PoV here -- and can that footbridge actually be raised to let boats go by? Who raises it? Questions, questions questions
Lovely colours superb PoV, excellent details

Hallo Anneke,

typisch Nederlands bruggetje die men in vele historische stadjes (ook in Zeeland) kan zien, ik hou er wel van. Om eerlijk te zijn ik vind de foto toch een beetje, op het randje af, teveel "afgeknipt"... maar da's maar een detail, hoor.

groeten uit Vlaanderen (wind, regen...),

Luc.

Hello Anneke,

A lovely picture of traditional Netherlands. The detail is remarkable and the composition and exposure are superb. If I were you I would consider making your daughter an offer for her camera, definitely a good standby!
Best wishes
Bill

Hello Anneke,

Well balanced composition, good colours & details!
Greetings,
