Meiboom clouds above the Lake
The second picture out of the old series
These picture has been taken during a visit to these lovely area.
This is the Lake of the "Meiboom" fishing club to Sijsele on 6 km of Bruges
These nice lake is made through sand winning for car route E40 between Ostend and Brussels 40 year ago.
In totally are two nice places, where every week during the fishing season become competitions or simple an afternoon fishing with the family.
I feel me excellent on these place, but I am no fisherman, alone my camera looking to birds or other lovely images.
On these club can drinking a cup of coffee or maybe a beer.

Good Morning John,
What a beautiful picture to greet TE on a Monday morning!
It is like a painting!
The aspect is lovely, with good leads and features to create an excellent sense of depth.
The light is amazing and so beautifully balanced between the setting sun and the light that it projects across the canal.
Then, there is this magnificent sky, given excellent prominence.
The individual aspects are interesting and each combines perfectly to make this a wonderful whole!!
Thank you for sharing this,
Bev :-)

Hallo John,
Dit is een fantastisch landschap waarbij zowel het water als de lucht een heel belangrijke rol spelen.
Ergens lijkt het wat op een schilderij of op een fantasiewereld ergens ver weg. Maar de foto werd op slechts 6 km. van Brugge genomen.
Prachtig met de bomen die het water langs drie zijden omzomen en met de zon die door de bladerloze takken schijnt.
Uiteraard is dat wolkendek magnifiek en wordt het ook nog mooi weerspiegeld in het water.
Vreemd dat je deze foto zo lang verborgen hield.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello John,
A magnificent photograph with the most gorgeous light and colours and what a glorious sky! The reflections of the sky and clouds in the calm water of the lake are stunning. A very fine composition and I especially like the way the low sun shines through the bare trees on the right.
And, as always, a fascinating note.
Beautiful!
Kind Regards,
John.

Hello John,
this is an exceptional picture that fills our eyes with wonder. The landscape's formation is simple but you captured a superb reflection and used the perspectives very aptly in order to fill the frame and make the view look so impressive. I like the suggestive dynamism of the scene and the strong but moody colours. The sun beeming through the silhouetted trees makes a captivating highlight. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good night,
Ourania

Special light conditions and well chosen POV allow this beautiful impression.

Absolutely superb, a modern Flemish masterpiece! But, there is also here a Salvador Dali masterpiece in Surreal Art. The sun filtering through the branches along with its reflection in the water creates a magnificent double focal point on the right. Warm regards, John,

Hi John.
Magistral this composition, which attracts us like a magnet, to enjoy, with all the beauties of the picture shows, is a delightful landscape with tree lines and dramatic sky, as if that is not enough, you have a few reflections anthology and the sun shining in decline is the ultimate complement.
Very good brightness and sharpness, with beautiful colors.
Well seen and done better. I like it.
Have a good weekend.
Best wishes.
Luis.

Hi John,
lovely HDR work. The sky is fabulous and your processing has emphasized it even more, the sun adds a beautiful touch being partially hidden behind the trees and preserving a perfectly round star shape. The water is nicely framed on both sides with the trees.
Very well composed and a very impressive processing,
