Thanks for your visit!

Yesterday I had my birthday party and several TL friends came to make a good time together. So I dedicate this "thank you card" to Anneke [Ejtaan] and Rob, Els [Henkie] and Ad, Joop [Joop] and Menorma, Jan [Jan Korbee] and Niek aka Niels aka [SunToucher]. Even Helen [Smurfie] joined the party via MSN and webcam :-)

You all made a great day to me! Also a BIG THANK YOU for all the cards, e-mails and phone calls from all over the world. I will never forget my 50th birthday.

Regarding the posting of today a goodbye from the Keukenhof too. On May 18th the gates will close and not open before March 2009!

Well I hope you enjoy the view.

I like the FG yellow bunch which really gives a nice contrast to the green and pink. Very nice vertical composition. Exposure is great.

Ha die Hans...
We (Rob en ik) hebben het in ieder geval prima naar ons zin gehad op je balkon... 't was echt beregezellig!

Verder moet ik ff wat kwijt: dit is echt de mooiste foto van jouw Keukenhof serie.
Prachtige lucht, maar het allermooiste nog vind ik het "doorkijk" effect door de takken bovenin de foto en de bomen in de achtergrond.
Echt een heel mooi plaatje!!!

Anneke

Oh nee Hans, heb je gezien wat Anneke heeft gedaan met haar intropic - ach jee, ze is helemaal van slag na jouw verjaardag!

Prachtig bedankje en afscheid van de Keukenhof.
Die bomen zitten nu dik in de groene blaadjes, het is ineens snel gegaan.

Ik wist het niet, maar alsnog gefeliciteerd met je 50e verjaardag. Volgens mij heb je er een heel mooie dag van gemaakt.
Mooie opname van de Keukenhof. Schande, maar ik ben er nog nooit geweest en ook dit jaar zal het door de drukte er niet van komen.

Hallo Hans.
Pracht plaat.! Hollandser kan bijna niet, al zou ik er wel een stukje van boven hebben afgehaald (met 2 keer scrollen een betere verhouding) zijn ook die donkere vlekken weg. (Zonnekap ?)
Hopelijk staat er nog genoeg om de 'Sicilian connection', vrijdag nog wat moois te laten zien.
Groeten van Jan

Hans this is quite possibly the best of your images of the Keukenhof in my opinion. Well composed with good rich colour andfine detail. TFS,
David

Hoi Hans,

Heel mooi. En een kleine troost voor me, want het is me dit jaar niet gelukt om tijd te maken voor tulpen. En ja, nu is die tijd wel weer voorbij. Volgend jaar beter en voor het moment moet ik het doen met jouw tulpen. Mooie tulpen trouwens ;-).

Groeten!
Dennis
