This picture has been taken during a visit to one of the most beautiful rural areas out of my area.

During the summer are there a lot bikers, walkers but also people with horse and carriage, also fishers, everyone enjoying of the lovely nature.
The landscape in the Municipality of St. Laureins characterized by vast polders, dikes, creeks and quiet rustling poplars alongside the canals.
Because of the numerous floods have caused the creeks. One of the biggest floods in the Elisabeth Flood 1376. Which washed away 18 villages and claimed many lives.

History creek area (Krekengebied in Dutch)

Creeks and wheels are remnants of flooding. Although there previously floods with levees break, it was the basis of the current landscape laid during the Eighty Years War (1568-1648) when the Netherlands revolted against the Spanish King Philip II. Then in 1584 the entire polder under water in defense of Antwerp. Tides were so until 1609 a free hand and deep gullies are formed after the restoration of dykes in the landscape left behind as creeks and wheels.
By the floods, on top of the original sand and peat layers, clay deposited: a thick layer where the long and often flooded polders were a thin layer at short dikes and on higher ground. The salt effects of the floods disappeared only gradually from the soil. Now we look like plants or refer (Zeebies, Aarbeiklaver and Silt to torkruid) the brackish water at the time. The sea also brought to lime in the form of shells and calcareous clay. Acidic sand and peat layers were already present from the past.

I hope you like it.

De weerspiegelingen zijn prachtig. Het geheel oogt heel rustgevend.

Terrific sharpness and clarity. You have captured the reflections magnificently on the still surface of the water, and the stems of long grass provide an excellent fringe for the bottom edge of the frame.

Robert1969 (7160) 2011-05-06 1:34

Hallo John,

Je hebt hier heerlijk de ruimte erin gehouden, wat gelijk de foto aangenaam rustig maakt, maar er ook gelijk voor zorgt dat de spiegeling in het water gelijk opvalt.
Het kleine beetje voorgrond zorgt voor een extra diepte erin en is de verdeling voorbeeldig, net als de belichting.

Vriendelijke groeten,
Robert

mkamionka (75137) 2011-05-06 1:38

Nice picture, very symmetrical where the reflections came out well. The reflections of the clouds drenched by the low sun has come out better in the reflection. the tall reeds in the FG add depth & also add to the otherwise flat perspective.

Hello John. A fine picture, soft colors are very nice and make this look almost a painting. The trees and the clouds reflected inthe water look also very nice. Sense of depth is very strong and sharpnes as usual is perfect. A beautiful and peaceful place that you have captured very skillfully. Well done.
Have a nice weekend.

Hi John

That looks similar to my recent paddy field shot, with a great difference, my field was flooded your lake will be there all the time. I like the reflection a lot, in particular the pinkish clouds. Excellent POV and DOF. Well done.

Warm regards

Hello John,

You're capturing well a rural scenery of spring by an interesting approach and rich soft tone, so here is the place with settledd and peaceful atmosphere. It's impressive to see calm pond, green trees. yellow reed and ble sky with clouds in this nature. And, delicate difference of color between the original and reflection projected to pond is tasteful and impressive.

Regagrds,
mikio

Hello John,

No matter how many of your photos I look at, I feel the gentleness of your view stay with the images. No matter how many times I see your photos, the freshness and the clarity of the images stay unchanged. You have a style that is so stable and timeless. The image, for example above, looks so fresh with a stunning clarity. I am convinced that this feeling that I have about your photos will never change. You have already left the level where technicality of the photography is behind you. Like those fine musicians, They speak of music but not about techniques employed to play a fine music. For me, you are such musician in photography. I am still struggling to find what photography is. My only wish is to be able to find an answer to this eternal question that I have, one day.

Very best wishes, John
Nobu.

Depth is captivating, the colours are beautiful and the light has created a special and attractive atmosphere. Congratulations and thank you!

Hi John,

such reflections on wide water surfaces also enhance the effect of a beautiful cloudy sky.

An image exactly the way I like it! Very beautiful!
