What the cyclist saw!, a photo from Luxembourg, Sud

Photographer's Note

Luxembourg has a national network of over 400 km of dedicated cycle paths and many hundreds of kilometers of quiet country roads between fields and forest with lots of hills but no real mountains. It is the ideal country for hobby cyclists, and it borders on Germany, France and Belgium into which countries you can cycle without passport or border control. And with the country being 50 km wide and 75 km long, you can on a Sunday cycle tour easily cross back and forth between four different countries in one day. And of course the Mosel valley with its vineyards is a particular treat.

This photo was not resized. It was simply cropped out of a much larger image and thereby managed to respect the criteria for posting on TE directly.

a very nice reflection . I probably would have cropped a little more off so that the reflection would be a little larger. Practicing Photoshop , I did a workshop for you and I hope you like it ?

Eh eh! Full of colors and details Per! The reflexion really gives a new dimension to this image. Good work!

I should come in Luxembourg... but not for cylcling, just for the Mosel with its vineyards...:)
Your picture is very well done and that a good idea to publish that reflection. Well done, Per!

Dear Per, great idea and very well executed. I just Jim's workshop to do another one with a heavy cropping as I would like to concentrate on the glasses. The helmet is not really interesting. From the reflection we immediately know that they are cyclists.
As a former triathlete I have to contradict your note. It doesn't have to be the ideal country for hobby cyclists -> Your forgot the heavy winds which could really replace some mountains.... ;-)
Good work. Yours, Jan
