During my bicycle trip today, I found this nice place on 19 km of my home

Photo May 2020, middle of corona time.

The photo was taken on the bridge between the Brugsevaart and the Schipdonk Canal.
Where tourists always feel good
Het Sas, where the Ghent-Ostend canal and the Schipdonk canal merge.
A bicycle tour for many families without cars which means less danger for children and the elderly like me.
"The tranquillity, boats that sail by and the sun on the water: it doesn't get any better."

I hope you like it.

Hallo John, that place is welcoming for cyclists. A bridge is crossing the canal and there is a wooden jetty for the walkers and the anglers. Nice view of the countryside. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hallo John,
Toeristen in 2020 ... Tja, wel op een locatie en met een manier van reizen waarbij COVID-19 weinig problemen stelt.
Meer dan de railing van de brug zorgt de schaduw op het wegdek voor meer diepte in het beeld, te samen met de lengte van het kanaal natuurlijk.
Een prachtige lentefoto genomen op een schitterende dag waarnaar we momenteel enkel heimwee kunnen hebben.
Aantrekkelijke natuurlijke kleuren, goede compositie en uitstekende scherpte.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hallo John,
De brugreling loopt mooi in het midden en verdeelt de foto in de brug en het water en verdere landschap, waarbij beide delen mooi in balans zijn. De kleuren zijn heel goed in dit heldere zonlicht.

Hello John,
You were not the only cyclist coming this way that day, and it's no surprise. The weather was so good and the light and colours were so nice. I hope some of the others also stopped now and then to take photos to keep as memories of that day. The photo has nice depth, but it's mainly the entire view of canal, jetties, road and trees I admire.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello John, it was such a clear day that we are able to see a long way into the distance.
You timed the shot perfectly with the woman wearing a red jacket as she cycles over the bridge.
Lovely colours and excellent light management.
Kind regards, Jean.

Well done.

Salut John,
Bel effet de profondeur d'image avec cette perspective bien cadr嶪, belle luminosit� avec ce joli ensoleillement, bien les ombres au sol de la barri鋨e, les personnes animent la pr廥entation.

Hello John,

You made quite far trip 19 km from home. Nice view of these bikers on the bridge. Even one lady in red. Is one of the part of the bridge movable? Marvellous composition.

best regards MAlgo

Hello John,

This is a little unusual, for you, in that the cyclists are riding towards you; usually, we are viewing them from the back.
It is a really well composed photograph with strong lead lines, supported by shadows.
The colours are strong on a beautiful, sunny day.

I like how the lampposts help to create a sense of perspective.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi John,
what a beautiful day and so charming well saturated colors. We have a canal further in the left and people enjoying the bike trip in the right.
I love days like that: everything looks so pretty.
Very well done,
M

Hallo John

Good dual perspective with the path at right and the barrier an pier at left, both of which guide the eye towards the bg. Excellent sharpness and nice warm cold colour contrats. Tfs!

Dag John,
Weer zo佋 prachtige rustgevende foto van het Vlaamse platteland.
Het moet hier inderdaad heerlijk zijn om te fietsen, zeker als het zo mooi weer is als op deze foto.
Groet Rob

Hi John
Picturesque canal scene tasteful blending all the right elements so appropriately resulting in a pleasant capture. Speck of vivid red is the vital eye-stopper hooking the eye in to enjoy its extensive view. Love especially the pov and perspective that look so pleasant. Your camera works is spot on, Congrats.
Best regards
