![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 1749 W: 582 N: 4125]](http://i1.treklens.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (17840) | Remembrance Day - a special day in the Netherland, followed by Liberation Day on May 5. That was the day 50 years ago that my third sister was born and when we were walking to school all the flags were hanging outside the houses, creating a very festive mood.
.
Here we just had visited Hans to celebrate his 50th birthday and we wanted to be in the dunes around 20 hours, when there is 2 minutes silence. My camera time is not yet on summertime, but this is taken just after the 2 minutes silence.
.
This picture also answers the question of Glint, who was wondering if the lens was suitable for landscapes.
When the landscape is not good then it is my wrong choise of settings.
.
The skyline is formed by the "Hoogovens" a huge plant producing steel and by doing that producing air pollution, but I think they are photogenic because of the contrast with the landscape and since I am a consumer, who am I to judge....
.
In the WS I will add a Google map that shows exactly where we are. The sun went down an hour later at 21.00 h. I could have used a gamma correction to make it lighter, but this is the mood I remember.
.
Have a lovely weekend,
