Yesterday I did another bike trip to Damme.
35 km there and back is sufficient for my age.
With a good cup of coffee, on the terrace at the corner to the bridge, my ride was successful.
The weather is hot (33°Celsius) but pleasant to make a trip in the shadow of the trees along canal

The Boat “Lamme Goedzak“

The Damse Vaart is a canal in the north of the Belgian province of West Flanders. She is about 15 km long. The canal connects the provincial capital of Bruges with the Dutch border town of Sluis
Enjoy nature and culture With the Lamme Goedzak you sail from historic Bruges to the lovely Damme. Half an hour to enjoy the unique landscape along both sides of the canal that connects Bruges with Sluis (NL). A trip to the picturesque Damme really pays off
I hope you can enjoy.

Hello John,
That sounds like a rather long and tough bicycle ride in that heat. You would need more liquid than just a cup of coffee. How lucky you didn't collapse from the heat before you had time to take this fine photo ;-). It's a beautiful long view of the canal and the trees reflected in it, and with nice buildings on one side. The boat makes an excellent focal-point.
Kind regards,
Gert

Dobro vece, gospodine.
Lep pogled i trenutak, interesantan i dobar tekst ...
Lepo pokazano, dobra perspektiva i kontrast, lepe boje, lepo uhvacen trenutak.
Lep refleks na vodi i zeleno drvece na obali.
Lep brod i kuce, lepi oblaci koji plove nebom.
Dobar tekst o koriscenoj tehnici i elementima snimka.
Prijatno vece i mirna noc, sve najbolje.
Paja.

Hello John,
nice the view of the canal this brilliant day of July with the created reflections to enhance even more the picturesque of the scene with the depth to adds perspective in the scene.
Excellent the light and the colour management of the scene.

Dear John,

35 kms is sufficient for me, too. :) The scene is excellent, the shore of the river leads my eyes towards the distance, along the boat.

Best Wishes,
Gy

ChrisJ (171888) 2018-07-25 13:07

Salut John

Marvellous deep linear perspective with the dual sides of the canal leading the eye deep towards the back of the image. Good sharpness and nice reflections. Superb colour and saturation with the boat providing a strong focal point. Tfs!

pierrefonds (114556) 2018-07-25 13:10

Hi John,

The reflections on the water are assets to the composition. The length of the canal is giving depth and perspective to the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the boat and of the houses. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Ciao John
ancora una volta il cielo con le nuvole fa la differenza, senza di esse sarebbe stato tutto molto più piatto e banale.
Ottima prospettiva, con dei riflessi molto belli, riesci sempre a ottenere dei risultati splendidi quando fotografi i canali.
Saluti
Carlo

PiotrF (54816) 2018-07-25 14:56

Hallo John,
Een prachtig gezicht op deze kaarsrechte vaart die de oevers zo mooi weerspiegelt. De bomen rechts en de huizen links zorgen voor een gevarieerde compositie, zeker met het bootje in het midden op het water. Zulke witte wolkjes doen het altijd goed in de blauwe lucht.

Hi John
Full steam ahead...
Excellent use of perspective and great lead in line of a delightful canal scene. Neatly arranged and abound of interest to attract the eye when lighting and colur are at their best. The regimented trees and houses along the bank extend the full depth. A picturesque view subtly captured, Congrats
Best regards

jemaflor (147248) 2018-07-25 23:22

Salut John,
Jolie photo avec ces teintes et ces parfaite luminosité, bon effet de perspective avec ces lignes futyantes, le miroir d'eau est splendide.

emka (158204) 2018-07-25 23:59

hello John, another bike trip. 35 km it is quite long and especially when the day is hot it can be tiring. Well done. I remember this view very well. It was such a pleasure to go by Lamme Goedzak to Damme and back. and lazy, not tiring at all. Splendid picture.

Kind regards MAlgo

Royaldevon (85932) 2018-07-26 3:24

Hello John,

We have a heatwave here, too!
Today, the temperatures are forecast for the 30's but cool weather is on the way for w/e.

This is a lovely photograph, so typical of the Flanders region with its flat land, long canals and lines of trees. You have used them all to their best advantage in this very well composed photograph. The barge is strongly placed, with good reflections and behind it, the lines of the canal converge to create a fine sense of depth and perspective.
The weather does look good!

Have a great day,
Bev :-)

ikeharel (113453) 2018-07-29 6:46

Hot weather and yet you went out riding?, this is not best choice, John.
Anyway, a successful ride, with good picture from the canal view, and the boat mirror on water. Good cup of coffee is a "must' for excellent culmination of a trip...
Good afternoon,
Ike

fabianoleite (13575) 2018-07-29 17:05

Excellent view, with great harmony, and the boat well placed in the river, well surrounded by the trees and the old houses. Very well done, congratulations!

Oi, John!

A excelente luz deixou a nitidez perfeita e realçou as vívidas cores. O ponto de vista foi bem escolhido, guiando nosso olhar até o fim do canal. O pequeno barco é um excelente detalhe.
Parabéns!

gervaso (28177) 2018-08-02 8:21

Hello, John!

Beautiful sky with interesting clouds and very nice blue tones, and its reflection on the calm water looks great, it works as a perfect mirror! The boat is perfectly positioned in the photo, that also has very good depth! Wonderful job!

mcmtanyel (68647) 2018-08-04 14:56

Hello John,

De wolken werken prachtig mee !

PaulVDV (62978) 2018-08-12 0:11

Hallo John,
Gelukkig kon je tijdens die heel warme dagen in de schaduw van de bomen rijden.
Je toont ons hier een prachtig zicht vanop de brug met de Lamme Goedzak mooi weerspiegeld. Heb je zelf al met de Lamme Goedzak meegevaren?
De mooie watten wolkjes in de lucht en het uitbundige groen tonen goed de zomerse sfeer.
Vele groeten, Paul
