Hallo Juan!
A wonderful scenery you've caught here. Netherlands from the textbook ...;-) I like especially the build up of the picture and the quiet atmosphere. A photo "to dream into" ...

Ola Juan,
Un tres bon point de vue pour saisir la perspective de bord de canal et la reflection des jolies maisons dans l'eau, il ne manque meme pas un moulin typique mais la phoot penche assez sensiblement vers la droite.
Bonne journee,
Jean-Yves

adores (46979) 2007-10-18 15:53

Olá Juan!
Uma paisagem tipicamente holandesa com o moinho ao fundo. Bonitas cores e um reflexo fabuloso. Bem conseguida!

stego (24132) 2007-10-18 17:01

Olá Juan,
Uma linda vista bucólica encantadora, muito tipicamente holandesa. A luz está óptima e faz realçar as lindas cores da paisagem e das casas e também os reflexos difusos na água.
Quiçá um POV menos centrado resultasse ainda melhor.
Um abraço, José.

Hi Juan,
Nice to see this famous typical Dutch scene. I visit it often when Lars was a little boy and was mad about windmills. The quiet reflection gives the composition a great extra.
Groet Rob

Hola Juan,
bonita foto con el agua en primer plano. La linea de la orilla de enfrente dirige la mirada por la foto para hacernos ver la totalidad de ella. Gracias por compartirla. Rafa.

Olá Juan,

Linda captura, cheia de luz e cores. Gosto de ver as pessoas passeando na calçada, num clima de paz, bem diferente da agitada Amsterdam. O reflexo no canal está maravilhoso. Como de costume nas suas fotos, excelente nitidez.

Abraços
Leonor

Très jolie vue de ce village typique de Hollande au printemps. La prise de vue de l'autre côté du canal permet à la fois une belle vue de l'ensemble et de jolis reflets.
Bravo
