During my daily bike trip in afternoon.
What you see in the photo are the remains of the post-war pedestrian bridge on the old pillars of the inflated bridge
Platheule bridges over the canals are destroyed during the Second World War (end of May 1940) by the French troops who during their retreat blow up all bridges in an attempt to slow down the German advanceI hope you can enjoy.

Dobro vece, gospdine.
Lep pogled i trenutak, dobar tekst ...
Lepo pokazano, dobra perspektiva i kontrast, lepe boje, lepo uhvacen trenutak.
Lep stari most i refleks na vodi, lepo drvece na obali i oblaci koji dolaze.
Dobar tekst o koriscenoj tehnici i elementima snimka.
Zelim vam lepu noc, vse najbolje u novoj nedelji koja je pocela, srecno.
Paja.

Olá, John!
A foto ficou bonita, com as árvores enquadrando a lateral direita e os reflexos interessantes dessa ponte antiga. A luz e as cores também estão muito boas. O corrimão verde no canto inferior esquerdo é um bom detalhe.
Ótimo!

Goedenavond John
De restanten van de oude brug en de reflectie van de wolken eronder zijn prachtig. De bomenrij en het pannendak vormen goede, herkenbare couleur locale. De crop aan de linkerkant is opvallend, met dat stukje leuning en dat felrode stopbord helemaal op de rand. Een mooi geheel, leuke variatie op het thema!

Hi John
it's a very photogenic canal scene from the heart-of-Flanders! and such gorgeous light, detail and colour in depth boosted by the still mirror reflection just to give a bit of more punch! That inventive eye of yours has captured its serenity, as the eye sweeps the view all the way to infinity giving this such a tremendous depth and long perspective. This is astonishing photography, pleasant in clarity and contrast. I can appreciate this composition to the full. Congrats
Best wishes

Hallo John,
Een prachtige foto van dit landschap met de lange rechte vaart. De spiegelingen in het water zijn prachtig, vooral van de grote witte wolken en het bruggetje. Mooie compositie met heldere kleuren.

Hello John,
There are many diagonal lines in this photo, which makes it look very structured and well organized. The light blue sky contrasts well against the dark blue water and the clouds are very nicely reflected in the canal. The photo has an excellent clarity and sharpness.
Kind regards,

Hello John,
What a beautiful spring day!
The light has created a lovely, cornflower blue sky, dappled with clouds, and creating a very good, mirror image in the canal.
You have interesting, f/g features, a good left/right guide into the the scene and a line of trees helping to funnel attention as well as create an excellent sense of perspective.
The terracotta roof is a warming element in the b/g.
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Bonjour John,
On perçoit des odeurs de printemps dans cette photo. Le cours d'eau est beau et offre de beaux reflets. On sent un petit peu de verdure s'installer aux branches des arbres.

It is really a very old bridge and I think it needs renovation, but the canal and the row of trees are fantastic, excellent composition, great capture

Ciao John
Lovely blue skylight reflections with good sharpness and excellent color and saturation. The simple stone bridge provides a good focal point. The red stop sign at the end of the railing adds a focal point. The row of trees at right add a frame. Tfs!

Een rechte vaart met een regelmatige rij bomen, grote aan de rechterkant en jonge aanplant op de linkeroever, een bijzondere brug en een mooie blauwe lucht met wat vriendelijke witte wolken. Hoe kan het Vlaamse landschap beter worden weergegeven. Een het heerlijke zomerse voorjaarsweer stelt ons in de gelegenheid er op de fiets op uit te trekken. We kunnen zeker nog een paar dagen genieten.
Groet Rob

Hi John,
The reflections on the water are assets to the composition. The length of the canal is giving depth to the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the bridge. The light is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

Hi John.
Beautiful perspective of the channel, with ideal reflections of the clouds, the simple bridge also gives a curious geometric reflection, great adornment the row of trees to the right and the lonely house on the left bank, beautiful sky that complements the image very well .
Sharpness, lighting, color, and the magnificent composition; they are all perfectly realized factors, in this beautiful image.
Well done. I like very much.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hi John,
Apart from beautiful colors I love the assymetry in this photo. The vertical lines of the trees on the right end so abruptly that at first glance we can think these are two separate photos glued together. The horizontal left and vertical right side create a very original effect. Well done.

Robert

Hi John,
this one is again a beautiful photo of the canals in your country, you're a real specialist in this kind of shots.
I love here the deep perspective of the canal, that leads our eyes towards the horizon line, the simple pedestrian bridge rebuilt on the pillars of the ancient bridge destroyed in the WWII, and the fantastic reflections of the ensemble on the calm water.
The trees, white clouds and blue sky, are a few beautiful elements in the composition as well.
Well done, my friend.
Kind regards,
Josep

A beautiful and worth seeing landscape photo. I especially like the impression of wideness - also caused by this "endless" row of trees and the reflections of the "chief character" in the canal. Really beautiful!
See you!
Frank
