[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Mid-afternoon at the Zaanse Schans, located in the Zaanstreek, a centuries old peat district named after the river Zaan and supposedly the oldest industrial area in Europe, famous for its windmills.
Yeah, windmills... later on for sure, but I wouldn't dare to post one today after Henk's, he he!
Therefore, simply a local straightforward RGB centered on greens and... wind-induced motion.
1) Green painted houses of all sorts are traditional in the Zaanstreek, but Zaanse green itself does not exist. A variety of greens are used today much as they were used in the past.
2) What you see in FG is riet : pronounced rit, like in ritual, with a rolling R.
Riet (Phragmites Australis), although looking like cane, is actually a grass growing either in water (sweet and brackish) or along the waterside all over The Lowlands.
It can grow up to anywhere in between 3 and 10 ft. high.
It blooms between July and October, displaying a long purple/brownish plume on its top. Riet gets harvested once a year to be used (among the rest) as roof cover. These roofs are a most common sight in rural Netherlands.
Interesting thing : Vincent van Gogh made use of sharpened-up riet for some of his (ink)pen sketches on paper.

Molto bella pure questa, colori caldi e forti, le canne piegate dal vento, il cielo che "fa" molto Nord Europa e ottima definizione ed esposizione!
ciao

Hello Fulvio,

fantastic colors, even on the houses as in the sky...seems as the big cloud in the middle of your picture would come out of the little chimney, very pretty pov and composition...

Best regards Bernd

wat een kleurenpracht

Hallo Fulvio,
Jij post in de ochtend, wat is er aan de hand, vrije dag? ;-)
Misschien vind ik dit tot nu toe wel de beste van die serie, die twee kleuren groen zijn zo mooi tov van elkander dat het een compleet natuurlijk beeld oplevert. Neem als bonus dat rode dak en als klap op de vuurpijl onze mooie vette luchten en je hebt een mooie plaat afgelevert.
Groet, Henk

Hi Fulvio,
En nog een prachtige foto van de Zaanse Schans! Heel mooie variatie aan groene kleuren, allereerst natuurlijk het Zaans groen, maar daarnaast nog het frisse groen van het riet en lichtgroene gras aan de linkerkant. Het licht was ook goed en wat een geweldig mooie wolkenlucht!
Bedankt! Fijne dag verder!
Groeten,
Lars

Fulvio, what a great scene, like I should be surprised... Colors are right up my alley and the light is magnificent as you know. I think this must be an inspiring place; to live there or just to visit. Great capture.

Greg

Hello Fluvio! I can see clouds ... what a relief!!!! When I had a first look through my photos yesterday afternoon, I saw mostly dark blue Utah skies except for Goblin where we had wind and rain, and used a sweater and a rain coat and an umbrella to stay dry and warm :))) I love your drama sky here with the lush green foreground and this lovely building looking through. Well done, I really like it.

I had a wonderful stay and I could have moved on and on, I was just beginning to slow down to "travel mode" when the holiday was almost over. We were actually talking about you, Stan and I, ... only good things of course :) Obvioulsy you meet him too. We enjoyed their company a lot. We went to a Baseball Game in Denver and had a long and huge breakfast together the day after sharing ideas and thoughts about the world ... very inspiring to us, and I guess this is the real treat about TE, to share things and actually start to understand the world a little better.

More later, I actually work but I thought I begin "somewhere" with my update and I hope that I have my first picture on the go by the end of this week. I filled up the whole memory on our computer and I guess we need more rams or a new pc :) No joke but we knew it was coming. Have a good Monday, it is humid-hot in Zurich ... Barbara.

Ciao Fulvio,

it's such a nice start seeing this image in this cold and cloudy monday. While the grey reigns here, there the colors make the day more pleasant. :) Very fine work. And I don't need to tell how much I like this painting. Well done!
Have a nice week.
Abraço,
Carlos

warm regards,
kristaps

Ciao Fulvio,
dicevamo giusto delle architetture, questa mi piace tantissimo per colore e forma.Il contesto e' molto bello e la foto come al solito ben realizzata con dei bei colori e un cielo carico di nuvole.
tanti saluti da Roma arroventata dal caldo estivo oggi superti i 35 gradi.
Giorgio

Oh, my gosh, Fulvio!
that light and those colors are just breathtaking! I LOVE the unique shape of the building and that sky is awesome. Oh, man.... what an extraordinary place! Wonderfully done! Many thanks and my warmest regards,
Shelly

Hi Fulvio,
Another winner - what an unusual building shape - never see anything like that in our country. The deep rich and vitrant colors are stuning and really make this image pop. Well done and TFS. Gerald

Hi Fulvio,
Beautifully clear contrasting colors to go along with the perfect blue sky and puffy white clouds backdrop.
Excellent lighting renders soft soothing shadows and lovely varying shades of vibrant greens.
Very informative note about the history of this beautiful region.
Regards, Tom

Ciao Fulvio,bel contrasto di colori e bello il lavoro fatto dal vento nel piegare il verde sulla destra.
Il cielo e' arricchito dalla presenza di bellissime nuvole.
Idea,scatto e inquadratura davvero ottime
un saluto
maurizio

Ciao Fulvio,
non so se l'hai fatto apposta, ma la nuvola sulla casa mi fa pensare al fumo che esce dal camino; viste le dimensioni, chissà che arrosto...:-)

Ciao Fulvio, incredibili i colori di questa casa dalla stranissima e piacevole architettura, bella la composizione con le spighe in primo piano ed il bellissimo cielo, bravo, ciao Silvio

hi Fulvio,
that's right, "windy" is the first thing that comes in mind when looking at this shot. I keep looking to catch the movement in the grass in the foreground, the way it's leaning to the right illustrates very well what you mean by "wind induced motion". the clouds are puffy, the colours are deep - love this shot!

regards,
Kristine

Hello Fulvio,

De kwaliteit is zeer goed, ook de kleuren zijn aantrekkelijk.
Mooie samenstelling en echt mooie presentatie.
We krijgen een prettige bewolkte hemel, geheel de foto is een prettig beeld.
Zeer goed gedaan.

Groeten,
John.

Man alive... great, artistic image... the color processing on this is exceptional. Lighting angle is great and technical quality superb.

Ciao amico Fulvio
...and you made use of sharpened-up riets to paint such a dramatic sky above the outstanding and colourful architecture of this building!!
Ciao, Fulvio Van Ferraris!
