MALDEGEM RAPENURG ON 1km of the Netherlands borders
I left this morning for my daily morning bike ride.
It was a bit frosty, but also a lot of fog.
Fortunately, no slippery road surface.
The canal and bridge were a favorite to take a photo.
Visit to Bruges and Ghent are still dangerous for corona with the omnikrom at the moment
I stay with my something in the countryside

Hallo John,
Bij ons was het vandaag heel de dag mistig. Weinig mogelijkheden om een interessante foto te nemen.
Daar ben jij wel in geslaagd, zelfs met weerspiegelingen in het kanaal.
Maar jij kon tenminste nog de huizen zien en de hoge bomenrij die langzaam verdwijnt in de nevel.
Een foto met goede diepte en een mooie compositie.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hallo John,
Het zijn maar saai, grijze en mistige dagen de laatste tijd, maar hier doemen de bomen en brug mooi op vanuit de grijzigheid. De compositie is mooi in balans.

Hello John,
You are back to your normal photos, and this is technically better than the last one. The fog creates an interesting atmosphere and you found the right spot for a photo where the canal is seen diagonally. There are many fine details and they have all turned out sharp and well exposed. Just for a change the car is a bonus to the photo.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi John,
Youhave captured well the movement of the car. The point of view is showing the details of the bridge and of the building. I like the effect of the fog on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi John
What an awful day, but put a camera in our hands and we view it very differently! This is a lovely landscape scene with the fog giving a nice feel and this echos the desire to see this larger. Looks a beautiful soft appeal with wonderful touch of green and nice atmospheric composition to die for.. You managed to get good exposure there, Congrats.
Best regards

Hello John,
It is an interesting little drawbridge. It looks like the water level is low. The fog makes it look mysterious.

hello John,
Nice bridge, I suppose it opens when the boat comes. As usual, the trees are along the canal, in this fog, they disappear farther. How great that in spite of the weather you make your bike trips every day.
Also in Poland the situation with omikron is dramatic. Better to stay at home.
Best regards MAlgo

Hi John,
It is quite interesting to see that in Belgium and in Poland (Fis2 photos) the fog is so dense these days, while in Greece or Serbia (Costantino and pajaran) there was a heave snowfall.
Nice effect with the fog here. The silhouette of the bridge is still clear while the whole setting has decreased visibility adding a nice context to it.
Very well done,
M

Hallo John
A moody and atmospheric shot with the fog adding an ethereal quality and mystery. Good sharpness and diffused lighting Tfs!

Hello John,
I think you are being very sensible avoiding diverse crowds of people, as could happen in the cities.
This photograph is full of atmosphere.
You have a strong, quite sharp and colourful, f/g triangle, which quickly becomes misty and blurred, as you move deeper into the scene. It makes an excellent sense of depth, as well as mystery.
The canal follows a pleasing angle as it guides towards the trees, whilst the bridge, at an opposing angle, ensures that we explore the view towards the houses, too.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi John.
A great composition in this beautiful enclave, with the canal, the original bridge and the grove that follows the shore of the canal, the fog gives a very interesting touch of mystery.
In this wonderful image, the sharpness, exposure, colors and POV are fantastic.
Photo very well done. I like it
Enjoy a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Good morning John,
Taking pictures during fog condition, always a challenge, yet you managed a fine clear picture with the bridge and trees appearing far beyond.
Have a nice new day,
Ike

Hello John, another foggy morning, it offers a certain atmosphere to the scene.
Lots of interesting details to enjoy. The bridge is photogenic in my opinion, of a style that we don’t see in the U.K.
I like that there is a vehicle going over the bridge.
Kind regards, Jean.
