Thank you very much for your visit.

I like being in this environment, usually there are beautiful images can be seen.
This was the only day that the temperature did not exceed zero degrees Celsius.
A small hail shower made the landscape a little bit white
You can see also a little bit ice on the water of the canal
My bike trip was successful after 35 km

Description of the place visited:
Want to spot a marsh harrier or yellow mercury? Cozy picnic along the water? Fishing for eels? Solar Bridge offers a range of possibilities in a peaceful nature!
From the bridge of St. Jansstraat the Leopold Canal in Sint-Jan-In-Eremo you can enjoy the best of the Meetjeslandse creeks: here you have a view of the Leopold Canal, the Bentillekreek the Oostpolder Creek and Cave Creek. The Bentillekreek is about 200 meters from the solar bridge and is a wonderful location for fishing!
The Boerekreek is six kilometres long and at its deepest point 22 meters deep. It is the largest creek in Zeeland Flanders and Meetjesland. Water sports on the creek is reserved to the Provincial Sports Centre De Boer Creek. Swimming is not here, but enjoy the peace on the water even more. This large lake is a nature reserve. Especially during the winter you can see here settle the rarest birds.

Hello John,
nice the view of the semi-frosen canal with the line of the side trees to create this superb depth and perspective in the image.The created reflection and the sun behind the trunk of the tree enhance even more the beauty of the scene.

Have a good week,Danos

Bonjour, cher ami John,
Ce thème portant sur les canaux reste et demeure un fleuron de tes albums. Ici, encore, le résultat est de toute beauté.
L'image est superbe.

jemaflor (134308) 2016-02-07 23:37

Hi John,
A classical view of your series, always perfectly managed, nice light capture, good depth effect with the perspective of the canal, interesting mood between ice and warm light, well done.

dkmurphys (77952) 2016-02-07 23:42

Hi John,
Very beautiful view along the canal. The place looks great, lovely warm sunlight. Well seen.

Hi John sir,

Excellent one amidst tough lighting against the sunlight. Great composition with golden sunrays are adding beauty to this image.

Dear John,
A beautiful image of an incredible depth with a brightness that makes this magical landscape. This is your classic . take care.
greetings

snunney (130967) 2016-02-08 1:35

Hello John,
The light is divine and the perspective superb. The trees lining the canal like so many sentinels seem to go on forever and create a wonderful feeling of depth. Excellent light management resulting in beautiful natural colours and some lovely reflections. Top class technical quality. Bravo!

alvaraalto (41828) 2016-02-08 2:10

Dag John,
Ik kan me deze rechte Vaart met bomen herinneren van andere foto’s. Elke keer slaag je er in weer een andere sfeer aan de foto mee te geven. Winter met sneeuw en ijs, voorjaar, zomer.
Hier een schitterend winterlandschap met wat rijp van de vorst op de herfstbladeren en een prachtige zonsondergang. Een mooie beloning voor een heerlijke frisse fietstocht.
Groet Rob

ChrisJ (158554) 2016-02-08 2:11

Bonjour John

Amazing repetition of the evenly spaced tree and all the more so with the mirror like symmetrical reflections. Good sharpness and linear perspective added by the canal. Tfs!

mesutilgim (0) 2016-02-08 2:14

Hello dear John,
Another "masterpiece" in your gallery !
A perfect lecture for good pov and light management.
Very nice reflections.
TFS and best regards

pierrefonds (102474) 2016-02-08 4:21

Hi John,

The reflections on the water are assets to the composition. The length of the canal is giving depth and perspective to the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the trees. Have a nice day.

Pierre

kdien (9367) 2016-02-08 4:40

Znakomicie ujęty temat, wspaniałe kolory, piękna głębia ostrości.
Miłego dnia. Pozdrawiam, Krzysztof

holmertz (91992) 2016-02-08 5:48

Hello John,
Once again you have used a canal and trees to create a photo of fantastic depth and fine reflections. This time the colours of the late afternoon sky are just as important as the deep perspective. The blue tones and the golden light surrounding the soon setting sun are lovely.
Kind regards,
Gert

Sergiom (117241) 2016-02-08 6:26

Bonjour John,

J'aime beaucoup l'atmosphère qui se dégage de cette composition. J'aime surtout l'heure du jour qui offre avec ce soleil couchant des couleurs remarquables sur ces très belles lignes de fuite.

Amicalement

Serge

Nicou (193806) 2016-02-08 7:40

Hello

quelle perspective le long du canal tout droit avec les reflets sur le plan d'eau ce givre sur le talus et le soleil en fond qui filtre superbe ensemble et profondeur.
Belle soirée
Nicou

Hi John
What a scene :) superb depth and such rich, beautiful color as we peer off into the distance up the length of the canal while the sun sits so tantalising on the periphery of the view. You managed the light so expertly. Really cool photo
Best wishes
Noel

ricardomattos (14696) 2016-02-08 9:01

Ciao John, fantastic landscape with fascinating reflections, excellent perspective, splendid light and wonderful colors, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

ourania (51103) 2016-02-08 10:53

Hello John,
the presence of the frost is so discreet and yet fascinating, you captured it in a very subtle and effective way. The textures of your picture are very precise and eloquent. I also like the way the warm light and colours run through the landscape, the perspectives are irresistible. There's a fine balance between warm and cold tones, the role of the sun is playful and delicious. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

cornejo (61504) 2016-02-08 11:43

Hi John, great view with great depth interesting place in a beautiful sunset, well captured in this great and beautiful photography. An interesting image with good sharpness, depth, beautiful light, color and quality. A great job well done, congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.

Good night and happy start to the week.
All the best from southern Spain.
Angel.

Tue (81258) 2016-02-08 11:52

Hallo John,
Het ziet ernaar uit dat het ook een van de weinig vorstdagen van deze winter zal blijven. Het lage zonlicht tussen de bomen door is prachtig en maakt een mooi contrast met de koude, blauwe kleuren aan de rechterkant van de foto. Prachtig perspectief van het kanaal.
Lars

GyurMaster (20863) 2016-02-08 13:19

Dear John,

Thanks to you I will know this canal very well, even I won't visit it. I would like to however.

The canal draws my eyes well towards the horizont, the tones are handled well and the contre-jour puts cherry on the cake. All in all its an excellent picture.

Best Regards,
Gy.

lousat (129093) 2016-02-08 15:00

An interesting view along the canal. I like beautiful trees on the sides and the warm color of the sky.Good framing, clarity and sharpness. Lovely presentation.

Piotr

bukitgolfb301 (53846) 2016-02-08 17:56

Hi Bonjour dear John

Wow you did again a supper job, John!
So stunning and striking pnafocus landscape image at a great sunset moment. Splendid and marvelous color and light touch. Usage of a Widefocus lens makes all in one shot and so sharp and clear presentation as such.

All the best and have a good day! Takero

abmdsudi (87895) 2016-02-08 21:55

Hi John
Can almost imagine you sitting on the bank at this level - what a thought of a fine capture of what look to be very cold conditions, like the details the frost has given you but with the warm tones of the sunlight and gorgeous still reflections. Superb wintery image, lighting and pov. Does this mean summer is coming.....
Wonderful shot, Congrats
Best wishes

jmdias (101620) 2016-02-09 0:29

john

I liked the use of the sun-star at side and the graphic effect of these nude trees. the ice is evident in many areas, adding lots of beauty too.
here we are facing another hot summer day.

hugs

jorge

Royaldevon (74082) 2016-02-09 2:59

Hello John,

You certainly know how to get the best effect from a landscape! This is a really beautiful shot, the canal, displaying its tree-line reflections, guiding us inexorably into the distance, creating an exceptional sense of perspective, along the way.
The low sun is a great feature, peeping successfully from behind a tree, helping to prevent lens flare.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Fis2 (154403) 2016-02-09 5:46

Witaj John!
A place well known, always beautiful photo!
Excellent light and colors.
Photo has climate.
Nice afternoon.
Krzysztof

adramad (66344) 2016-02-09 15:15

Hi John.
Impressive perspective canal, with the line of trees, which seem lost in the infinite, the sun was very low gives a special charm, gives the landscape a touch as paint, reflexes are another beauty added.
Brightness, Sharpness, colors and POV chosen are excellent.
Very good work. I like it.
You have a good day.
Best regards.
Luis.

mcmtanyel (58703) 2016-02-09 19:54

macondo (20449) 2016-02-09 21:12

Hello John.
Your 'classic' canal scene, with a new context of colour and light. Lovely colours and reflection, and the typical strong perspective effect. I like most the left side, where the sun is in front of the camera and casts lovely shadows of the trees. Very nice indeed.
Regards,
Andrew

ikeharel (105236) 2016-02-10 3:42

fabulous golden light prevailed the canal scenery, John, one beautiful addition to the collection of canals photo in your gallery.
The reflection, depth, and clear visibility, are best assets for this photo.
Bravo,
Ike

rychem (72179) 2016-02-10 7:26

All is fantastic, beautiful view of the canal, great sunset light, nice composition and perfect reflections, all together gives a beautiful and moody photo, compliments Ryszard

heel mooi John,
Dit is een echte Maenhout goede compositie, sfeer en uitstekend standpunt.
Mooie foto John, ik had nog 2 grote bestanden naar U gezonden, maar U had ze nog niet opgehaald.
gr. jaap

PaulVDV (53904) 2016-02-10 13:16

Hallo John,
De vorst op de voorgrond en de overvloedige blauwe tinten geven me de idee dat het heel koud was. Alhoewel ik niet echt van koude houd, is dit toch een bijzonder aantrekkelijk beeld en zou ik dit kanaal wel eens in de winter willen zien.
Prachtig hoe het water tot in het oneindige doorloopt en de bomenrijen er elkaar niet raken.
Mooie, perfecte weerspiegelingen van de bomen in het water en prachtige plaatsing van de ondergaande zon.
Een fantastisch mooie foto!
Vele groeten, Paul

Alco (7559) 2016-02-10 22:13

Hello John,
Superb picture of that canal with the partly frozen water. Nice result despite the sun facing your lens. The trees lead our eyes to the end of the canal. Nice colors. TFS.
Regards
Alain

janneman (4037) 2016-02-11 4:50

Wederom een fraai staaltje perspectief zoals we dat van u gewend zijn.
Dit keer winters waarbij de reflectie een beetje doorbroken wordt door een flinterdun laagje ijs langs de rand van het kanaal. Schitterend!

Groet, Jan

Didi (61587) 2016-02-11 7:57

Hello John, I know this wonderful location from your gallery and you have shared here once more a very fine piece of art. Very good composition, fine colors and light management. I can feel the frost. I like the shot very much.TFS.

With regards from Luxembourg

mkamionka (59746) 2016-02-11 13:46

Hi John,
spectacular composition! The reflection is amazing with fragments of it being 100% and some also having ice. Geometry very successful with trees providing verticals and the channel diagonals.
What is unique about this photo is that it does have a strong winter touch and yet it is so colorful as if it was a summer photo!
Fantastic use of the sun, slightly hidden behind the tree.
Excellent work!
M

Graal (103040) 2016-02-12 4:20

Hello JOhn,
nice perspective of canal with the row of trees. Also I like the reflections and low sun in BG. Fine delicacy mist also. Very well done photo.
Have a nice WE.
Aleksander

eldancer1 (36343) 2016-02-12 7:20

Beautiful capture of this sunrise! It does look cold with ice forming on top of the canal. Great pov catching the sun rays among the trees. Good lighting and crisp details. Well done, tfs.

Gigidusud (21679) 2016-02-12 13:36

Hello John,
It's always a pleasure to see this avenue of trees with the channel in the middle. A place always well presented in different lights.
This version also superb with great perspectiveet beautiful reflections, the sun is a bonus. Bravo!
Have a nice weekend.
Gigi

Buin (42580) 2016-02-13 6:45

John, this photo actually doesn't need much words. The beauty of this scenery, of this moment simply is gorgeous - and somehow even touching. The little ice cover on the water is a nice detail in your photo. A "jhm" at its best! ;-)
Greetings from Siegen, where it is snowing at the time!
Have a nice weekend!

Ciao John
una luce magica e una fantastica prospettiva caratterizzano questa bella foto.
La grandine è ben visibile anche in acqua e si ha una vera e propria sensazione di freddo nell'osservare la foto.
Saluti

Hi John

adores (46979) 2016-02-17 16:48

Hi John!
Another fabulous shot! The canal looks endless from here. Great dof, light and colours. It's a very good quality shot!

tyro (30513) 2016-02-18 1:26

Hello John,

This is a splendid winter scene, perfectly captured with a fine composition, the line of the canal and its accompanying rows of tall trees leading us perfectly off to the horizon.

The low afternoon sun gleaming through the trees on the left casts a beautiful warm light on the scene and the calm water of the canal provides some stunning reflections od trees and sky.

Glorious light and beautiful colours, perfect exposure and exquisite details and sharpness.

And, of course, a fine note as always.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

branley (3681) 2016-02-19 5:53

If I had to remember you for one subject my friend, it would be your canal shots. Beautiful as always, fantastic depth and wonderful colours. It's a superb capture....

Hanssie (11018) 2016-02-22 1:19

Dit vind ik altijd zo mooi, is weer een echte "JHM".....

Hi John,
A delightful composition of extreme beauty. The sun shining behind a tree. The combination of yellow and blue. The reflexes of the trees on the canal. All combine for a superb shot.
Ruben.

Selmik (3641) 2016-07-20 19:52

Hi John.
Lovely combination of nature, rising sun, light and shades, tree's reflections on the water and first frost. Everything is so organic and natural that it deserves an admiration. Great framing and perspective on the canal.
Well done, John!
