Yellow fields of Norfolk

This week I’m like previous week in the UK again. This time in Norwich Norfolk. Today I flew from Amsterdam to Norwich in a Fokker 50 and the weather was gorgeous. Nice clear sky with fluffy clouds. The first surprise I had with the take of. The Schiphol Airport Fire brigade was practicing their skills on the dummy Boeing 747 while we took of. In the WS you find a (poor) picture of that action.

The approach towards Norwich was great, nice bumpy (it are real aero planes those magnificent Fokker 50’s :-) with a wonderful view on the canola fields below me. Well it’s not a superb shot (those darn dirty window panes) but I did want to show it you my friends.

Nevertheless I hope you enjoy the aerial view from the wonderful countryside of Norfolk. Sorry I can’t be that much at TL as usual, lots of work to do here in Norwich. N.B. the ridiculous prices of internet in the hotel (over 6 pounds per hour) prevents to be to long on internet when in the hotel....they really try to rip me..

N.B. Silke, the Lady of the lens will be in hospital the day after tomorrow for a knee surgery. Wish her from this place in England strength and all the best for a speedy recovery! Get well soon my dear.

PP work:
Decreased brightness 20% and increased contrast with 30%. Also increased the saturation with 10%. No crop, add frame and resized and sharpened me..

Hello Hans,interesting shadows from the clouds and interesting shapes of the fields.
It is a lovely shot considering it was taken through'dirty' windows!

I'll admit to being a sucker for rolling fields and the varying shades of greens and yellows and all. There is just something that pulls me in when I see them live, or from the air as here or in excellent photo representations like this.
Nice capture,
TFS,
Wilt
p.s. All the best to Silke too, speedy recovery.

Nice Shot Hans! Not always easy to take this kind of shot. You did a great job. TFS

En wat de kwaliteit betreft.... tsja... we zullen het ermee moeten doen........... ;-)

Hoi Hans,
Mooi landschap daar! Dit is landschappelijk heel wat mooier dan bijvoorbeeld Zuidelijk Flevoland; daar is het allemaal recht en strak.
Ja Hans, voor luchtfotografie heb je "kastelenweer" nodig. Zo noemt een bevriende luchtfotograaf dat als het kraakhelder èn wolkenloos is.
Groet,
Adri

Hi dear Hans,
Wonderful capture vith great colours, POV and graphism.TFS.

Nice Hans. One thing I did notice last time I flew to Western Australia was the contrasting colours if the various grain crops. Good detail, lovely shadows. TFS,

Hi Hans,
Nice shot, good colours and I like the shadows from the clouds, an interesting picture in the Workshop too, I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay even if the hotel does try to rip you off.
Regards Andy

P.S if you get down the Devon end of the country let me know.

LOL!!! You are getting old, my friend.
You are repeating yourself :-).
Good shot but all you had to do is open the window if it was dirty :-).
OK, so I forgot my medicine again :-).

Effe sjekken - Hi Hansie,

Mooie aanvliegroute met die lijnzaad (?) velden als patchwork over het landschap.
Toch even leuk om de aktie bij het oefenvliegtuig te zien.
Ik heb het idee dat je die vieze ramen aardig doorzichtig hebt gekregen - heerlijke foto - hier ben je nog even zo vrij als een vogel.

Sterkte met het werk in Engeland.

Groetjes
Els

Hi Hans, lovely shot of good old Norfolk, Fokker 50 is a great old aircraft. I used to do a lot of flying in a Twin Otter in Borneo and Nigeria in the early '90s and felt the same about that aircraft. Wish I had been more into photography at that time of my life but digital ws not invented then and I had lost interest in the film cameras that I used in the late '70s, early '80s.
Best regards, Les

A beautiful vision of this panoramic.
Congratulations!

That's some amazing and colourful view.

Looks like a Lego Land ;-)

Hoi Hans,

Fokker 50. Mooie vliegtuigen. Ik heb ze in Indonesie ook wel eens in mindere conditie gevlogen. Maar tot op heden ben ik altijd aangekomen ;-).
Mooie plaat ook, met dat patchwork van velden en de wolkenpartij die jou in de rug zit.

Groet! Dennis

Hi Hans,
Beautiful landscape covered with those amazing multi-colored "carpets". Marvellous texture and patterns.
