Neat, nicely composed, good light and warm colors, not a spectacular landscape but still a pleasant image. Not a bad place to live. ;)

Hello Henk,

The lightning is very nice and this shot and I appreciate a lot the pattern it is drawing on the front of the houses. With in more the reflection on the canal, the photo is attractive for the look.
I will wait for the coming photos of your town.

Are our photographic interests and interpretions related to our environ, namely, where we live and grow?
Seeing everyday those canals, those reflections, that light, those colors, if someone is to become a photographer, he would definitely love to make landscapes, and preferably no urban shots.
If i were the one to see this view everyday, i would definitely be filled up with an urge of catchibg the best skies and reflections. I think similar issue is valid for Leo. We have also seen where he passes by everyday while heading to work...
Just an idea of mine...
Cheers,
Deniz

Ik smul weer van deze foto. Prachtig mooi licht op die warm gekleurde gevels, een prachtige spiegeling en de kleuren zijn weer fenomenaal.
Hmmmmm, ik denk dat ik daar maar eens een optrekje ga kopen, lekker dicht in de buurt bij The Master :-))))))

Dag Henk,
This is a very nice place. It is probably good to enjoy such a nice view at only 5 minutes walking distance.
The colours and the light are perfect!
My only (small) regret is that the little boat on the river is already quite far. Anyway, if he was closer, he would have spoiled these very nice reflection, so it is okay ;-)
If you go on showing nice photos of your city, like this one, be aware that you will soon have to welcome a group of trekkeurs!!!
Take care,
Marianne

Hello Henk,

You live in a very colored country. The composition is good but the light management is more better. The light and the shadows on the frontages of these houses are very well captured. The alignment of windows give a very good rythm with in addition the beautiful reflections.
The colors are very naturals. This is a big part of the success of this pictures.
Very good.

Hi Henk,
Warm evening tones make this look good. Those houses are not as charming as older Dutch architecture, but repeating patterns have some charm anyway. Canal provides reflections and makes this more Dutch. The rower is small but nice extra detail.
First from Groningen? At least I beat you on the coverage of the home town (154 pictures from Tampere and counting).

a great piece of work.

I knew you would find something beautiful close to home.;D You certainly know when to find the best light and those houses are illuminated beautifully. The other best thing is the stunning reflections mirrored in the canal. The perspective view of course draws us right into the scene, where we initially stop and admire the tall tree and its reflection before we carry on down the canal. The boats are also important features of the image; how else are we going to travel down teh canal. ;D. Hoping to see more!

dag henk ;o),
so this is Home. looks (and am sure it is) a peaceful and pleasant corner of the world. The warm and slightly golden late afternoon sunlight embraces a carefully built and taken care of neighborhood, nothing less then we'd expect from a nation that even wrested land from the sea.
... visually atractive repetition and pleasant reflection, beautiful and beautifully used light.
am sure living near water is nice and maybe even visiting your neighbors by boat must be fun from time to time ;o).
thanks,
dora

Excellent composition here using the diagonal created by the canal to lead the eye through the shot. The reflection gives the photo excellent depth and balance. The late afternoon lighting provides nice warm colors for the houses and landscape.

Hi Henk,

So that's where you live...very nice place, huh? It's difficult to me to catch scenes from the place where I live, I feel kind of lazy. Does this happen to you too? Well, very nice perspective of the houses with two great bonus: the warm light coming from the left and the reflection. Very good work!

G'day Henk!

Another gem, mate! Even though you say the buildings are new, they blend in very well: being a 'water-lover', I could see myself living here and paddling one of those canoes, especially on an evening such as this!

Best wishes,

Hoi Henk,
dat dit bloedmooi is staat buiten kijf. Het is eigenlijk een... understatement!
Wat mij telkens weer in je foto's verbaast is de perfecte balans tussen camerawerk en postprocessing, alsmede de monsterachtige, perfect natuurlijk overkomend balans in je textures.
Ik zie vaak op TrekEarth top RAW fotografen finaal buiten schreef gaan aan een soort "airbrushing" in PP, te perfect eigenlijk, hetgeen doet mij altijd aan de huidige top-fotomodellen denken : bloedmooi, zeker, maar met het charisma van een luxaflex...
Dat overkomt jou nooit en never, al je foto's zijn precies zoals een TOPfoto in mijn ogen hoort te zijn. Punt!
En je woont ook nog op een schitterende plek!
Ik wens je nog een hele fijne dag, Maestro uit Het Noorden!
Tot gauw,
Fulvio.

Henk, it is nice to see the details of daily life, no mater where it is, and I know for sure that your rendition of it will always be a good one. This one uses the shadows from across the canal to break up the color on the line of homes. The resulting detail and color variations is great and makes what may not always be an interesting scene very interesting, super capture.

Hoi Henk,

Nou, dat is niet verkeerd wonen. Jammer dat het zo ver weg is ;-). Maakt voor mij natuurlijk niet uit als globetrotter, want ik ben er dan toch nooit! Maar ja, een Limburger in Groningen, de vraag is of dat wel helemaal goed zou komen! :-))

Groetjes!

Ciao Henk,
I add my favourite rate to the man another I read here.
I like very much the light and shadows alternation and the great sharpness of the reflection in the red beautiful light.
The diagonal line is a perfect idea for the composition.

hello, henk

nice to see this evening-light illustration of your neighborhood. i love the gliding, alternating (between light and shadow) light you have chosen. as to living right next to water: i know it can be very pleasant. but does that canal ever run over (as in flood over)?

i look forward to the rest of the series :)

warm regards,

Hello Henk, good evening! You truly live in a wonderful area, and I guess you must have a little boat, at least I see you floating down the river - in my fantasy - with a glass of wine in your hand ... on an evening just like this one, enjoying the scenery, making an occasional stop-over talking to the neighborhood, I mean I would do this, what a dream life! Or are you never without your camera and there is no way to have a glass in your hand :))) I read Deniz' note while I was working and I guess he has a point, and it certainly has a great influence where we grow up, where we live, but also what kind of people are around us. I mean my banking town is not really a good source of inspiration but at least there are corners left that help me out.

You have caught the silence in my view, wonderful and smooth, an evening before summer came, what a way to get prepared. Barbara.

Maybe you do live in one of this houses but you don't want 5000+ TE members appearing at your door asking for private photo lessons, especially me asking for photoshop lessons.
The picture is very good captured with the last sunlight of the evening, beautiful place, nice warm colors and wonderful reflection. Also your POV and frame are very good.
Well done my friend.

not the usual breathtaking landscape or portrait this time but I like your idea to show us the area where you live. A simple shot kissed by a great light, with the reflections on the water ephasizing the perfect timing. Your top quality standard is your trademark even in the simple things. Great!
Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend!

It's great to know that these buildings are built in 90's and still maintain the old architecture instead of huge apartments .
A wonderful place to live in with the river flowing in the front of your house and the golden lights on your sit out. Do they use boats instead of polluting cars ? Thanks for sharing this wonderful place.

Not bad where you live ;-)
Actually the idea of a project on your city's a good one. I'm starting to build up a collection about Lausanne but it's more on the modern side than the old.
I like the rich warm bricks and how the sun lights them up. Nice angle and reflection too.

Beautiful place to live, Henk! The lights are very nice and warm and create good details on the facades, specially reflected on the mirrored waters. I see that we will have a great time enjoying your next posts about your home town. I have not captured my home town, since I don´t use to stay here during the weekends. Its a shame... I know. Maybe you can inspire me to joing Carlos (belido) and took some photos around here as well. Thank you!
Have a nice weekend, my friend!

I really like your photo, it has a great depth created by the similar houses. Their revolving colours also look nice painted by the last reys of the setting sun. The reflections are also superb!

Hey Henk, I think again your shot is too orange.. A way of correcting this in LR or ACR would be to increase the oranges luminance but again, LR and ACR doesn't do a good job making orange colour look plastic. Try this RAW file in DPP (Canon Digital Photo Professional), increase the saturation and create a similar curve to make the lighting look similar to this image here. You'll see what I mean.

However as an objective viewer I find your shot a good one, I had a disagreement with myself about the POV you chose, he said hmmmm nice but a bigger reflection would bring symmetry, and I say nahh the perspective is working better in this POV rather anything else. So any further comments about symmetry VS perspective would make me feel better :) The dark tones are suitable enough making a different kind of mood.

Many Regards
Stelios

Hello Henk -

This sure looks like a lovely town. I am glad to see that your town council has attempted to stay away from some of the new urban architecture of concrete, glass and steel and stayed with the traditional 19th and 20th century building materials. The light is perfect! But, I always like a reflection when one can be found.

It is really my bad luck that you will be in Canada/USA when I am in Amsterdam as visiting this village/city would be a nice trip into the Dutch countryside.

Thank you for sharing your corner of the world.

Living near the water must be a pleasure because the light is always so different and enhanced when there is water...
Magnificent light and great composition, for sure once again you have built this shot very carefuly and methodically.
With these nice walls, you just can try "another brick in the wall" ;-)
Have a great day,

Goedenavond Henk,

Zo te zien woont u wel degelijk in een rustige buurt, de architect dat dit onworpen heeft, is een man met smaak, alleen al door de variatie tussen de woningen, hij speelt met hoogten en dit is altijd leuk.
Wanneer u zo dicht woont heeft u natuurlijk de tijd om het juiste moment af te wachten, stil weer en avond zon, samen met een portie weerspiegelingen, dit geheel maakt u foto zo aantrekkelijk. Bedankt.

Prettige zondag,
John.

Hi Henk,
well lucky you! I mean not everybody lives in such a nice, photogenic area. I`m also lucky with where I live, I have this waesome view at the Alps, but my housing area isn`t interesting at all.
I really like the light you ahd here, it looks golden and therefore it adds a lot to the picture, the view down on the water is just great with some nice reflections and the boat is a great detail! Thanks for that image, looking forward to seeing many more pictures from your hometown.

Take care and have a nice sunday

Hi Henk,
Though you live to another side of the canal, this sight is absolutely magnificent.
I like the peace that is breathed here, and the diagonal that you have obtained with your setting, the perspective is deep and elegant, and the light on this architecture heightens its beauty, while it offers us a few beautiful colors.
The reflections on the water are the final detail for this great composition.
Great work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

Salut Henk,

Yes, great perspective on this row of houses that shows a different side from the more typical construction we usually see from the Netherlands. They surely look very seductive under such warm light, along the canal. Good use of the distinctive tree, both for its location and as a stopper that keeps the eye into the scene.

Slight little detail; maybe the cropping is too close to the chimney and houses top. A couple of pixels more would have make them feel less trapped.

It's cool to see your neighbourhood! I thought you were living in a giant mushroom!

That´s a great idea. And will gladly follow you along. I like this starter. You say it's a modern complex, but it also seems old. That's why I like about central European architecture and architects. They always respect history... Not a thing you'll see in Portugal. The warm light is great, just as I like it. Very beautiful.

Hello Henk,
first thank you very much for your nice critique.
It´s nice to see where you come from. It seems to be a nice place to live.
It looks beautiful, how the houses stand in a row. Also the reflection with the colors looks wonderful.
TFS and have a nice day,
Kris

Hello Henk
The location close to where you live just looks great even with those modern houses. I like the light/shade contrast on its facades, the reflections and perspective.

Hoi Henk,
Dit is een prachtige foto van deze nieuwbouwwijk, genomen vanuit een heel goede hoek. Het lage licht is heel mooi, vooral de bakstenen gedeelten komen er goed door uit. De licht vervormde spiegelingen in het kalme water spreken me ook erg aan hier! Uitstekend fotowerk, bedankt!
Groeten,
Lars

Hello Henk
The light on rhe houses is really amazing. I like this kind of light and each time i can take photos in thoses condititions, I do it. The water is calm so the refelexion is good. I agree the boat can be nearest but is this case the reflexions could have be pertubated.
Cheers
JP

Henk,
now that I saw where you live I'm quite curious to see the place where we will meet. Moraine Lake, Spirit Island, Louise Lake ... what will it be?
There is actually not alot to be said about this shot. For some reason I have the impression that everything was said and I'm not in the mood to read through all 89 critiques that you got so far on this post. However, there are two little details and I might be wrong about it, but I have the feeling that the frame is to close on that roof in the right upper corner and I also have the impression of a slight tilt of about 1 grade to the right.
See you soon ...
Peter

Bonsoir Henk,
Which fantastic gallery. I did not see everything but I am going to return. It is incredible, after 1 year on TE, not to have known you earlier. Here, I like the rhythm created by the succession of these houses on the canal and also the succession of the shadows and the light on facades.
How lucky you are to live near a place as this one!
A bientôt
Diane
