Cycling around and seeing all the springflower beauty around,one can hardly realise that a centuries old piece of Dutch culture is in deep trouble....
The effect of the financial crisis on this trade(specially in the US) is ruthless,who is waiting now for flower-bulbs??...,a typical luxury product.
Already many exporters had to close down(a fall down of sometimes 50 percent),and skilled and dedicated people lost their jobs.
Growing up in this area,I have mixed feelings,I enjoy the fields of 2009,but with a rather concerned and critical eye.
Lets hope for better times.....

Een prachtige foto van een schitterend produkt Jan.
Helaas is deze bedrijfstak dus ook in zwaar weer geraakt, al is dat aan de kleurige velden niet af te lezen.
Als deze bedrijven niet in het nauw komen door exorbitante regelgeving op het gebied van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen dan is nu dus wel door de economische crisis.
Mèt jou hoop ik op een snelle opbloei, zodat we tot in lengte van jaren kunnen genieten van dit fleurige stukje Nederlandse cultuur!

Groet uit Renesse en prettig Paasweekend!
Adri

Hi Jan
Wonderful capture and place
Great colors and details
Have a nice weekend

Hmm, I guess nothing is left untouched by the recession. Let's hope the tulip industry can survive. Tulips - my favorite flower.
Beautiful light in this shot, and nice placement of the farm buildings off to the right. Nice one Jan.
Trudy

Nice perspective and nice warm colours. Your note is very informative too. It is a little "reportage" on a well known activity of your country.
Best regards
Jean

Godd times Bad times, Jan.
A populare TV series with more bad than good, it seems.
I'm sure the Bulb industry will survive this crisis.!
Notting bettr than to say it with Flowers, right ?
This picture of you, says it with many lovely 'words'.!
No one will miss this.
Prettige Paasdagen, Jan
Groeten uit Bergen op Zoom

Hello Jan,

Nice composition and presentation of this flower field. The building in the left balances the beauty of this picture. The trees compliment accordingly.
Well done. Best regards.

hi Jan

Yes, this will be a wonderful place to go cycling around and enjoy the colorful scenery of flowers and fresh air. Such a fine view of balanced color tones and really very pleasant countryside. I like the rows of flowers you have framed here. Good work.

tfs, bill

Hoi Jan,
Ja ja, het komt er aan.....sta helemaal in de startblokken :-) Prachtige plaat zoals ik van je gewend ben. Mooie compositie met de boerderij aan de rechter kant. Fijne kleuren en mooi licht!
Hans

N.B. Heb je volgend weekend tijd?

Bonjour Jan,

Nice presentation. This landscape is well composed, light is warm and beautifull. I like the POV and the exagerated perspective that bring our vision on the BG. Nice work and TFS.

It is aa global economic crises. It is seriously felt even in the Philippines, China and Japan and other countries.

Have a happy easter.

We moeten er nog maar van genieten zolang het kan he?
Dit voorjaar is er in ieder geval nog meer dan voldoende te zien... ook hier begint alles goed uit te lopen en kleuren de velden.

Deze is duidelijk in de vroege ochtend geschoten... (of in de avond, zo tegen zonsondergang) prachtig licht in ieder geval...
Mooie plek, mooie plaat.

Hallo Jan,

Helemaal "af": Kleuren, licht, compositie, lijnen horizontaal en verticaal. Een lust voor het oog, voor het mijne althans.
tfs, Prettige Paasdagen.
groetjes, Marga

Hello Jan,
I like this paint look alike especially in the pastel colors and soft tones. The mood is very relaxing and the compo works very well with the house well placed off center. Very good quality throughout and excellent presentation, I like it a lot!
Hoping for a better future, I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Regards,

Ja, ik snap dat je met gemengde gevoelens naar de prachtige bollenvelden kijkt. Maar we proberen positief te blijven en hopen dat het weer aan gaat trekken.

een mooi pov gekozen, en ook weer een prima scherpte.

Beautiful landscape image. Nice colours and contrast.

Hi Jan
The pictures you have posted on TL showing Netherlands is so pretty
A few years ago, on the way to visit our friends in Bergen, Norway we stopped at Amsterdam for a few days but did not have time to go to the country. Hopefuly we will go back soon

Hello Jan,
troubles shared by all Europe. Beautiful things (I don not mean luxurious) are a help in the life. A blossoming green, a city of art (....), to be before a sunshine... Beautiful things maybe are not necessary, but you are right, lets hope for better times.
Ciao, Elena

Should it all disappear (I'm sure it won't) at least you documented it, Jan. Excellent, warm & soft colours in a very nice composition.

This photo is gorgeous Jan! Not only because of the colors, but I LOVE the perspective, leading off center to the treeline and then OVER to the red house! Wonderful comp! The lighter rows of flowers is a perfect lead in line! GOT to be one of my favorites of yours!

hello Jan,
Such a classical Dutch spring scene and very well composed with great light.
What fun to be able to cycle around around all this colour.
Intersting notes. I do hope the industry will be able to survive.
All the best, Joni

just stunning
Great framing and the best use of the colour spectrum from the trees to the tulips? On the right fore
