Photographer's Note
The next village West of Haarlem: Bloemendaal, a village, you have to visit if you like the old rich. (the nouveaux riches live east of Amsterdam in Het Gooi)
I took this picture from the highest dune of the Netherlands, Het Kopje van Bloemendaal, which is 45m high) On the top there's a observationtower, built by the Germans in the Second World War.
From this tower, I took this picture on the a day with changing weather, but it was a rather bright day and on such days you can see the Harbour of Amsterdam, which is about 20km from Bloemendaal. The harbour of Amsterdam is the second biggest in Holland, after Rotterdam. The harbour is connected with the North Sea through the Noordzeekanaal (North Sea Channel).
Behind the first trees you can see the village Bloemendaal. Behind the wood, you can see Haarlem-Noord. The stadium you can see in the middle is the Pim Mulier Stadion and here is every summer the Haarlem Baseball Week. (and I live in the quater next to this stadium).
In the background you can see the harbour of Amsterdam, with among other things the Hemweg Powerplant (the smoking chimney in the middle).
Right of the last chimneys you can see the office-buildings of Amsterdam Sloterdijk, I showed you the railwaystation there.
Between Haarlem and this harbour, you can find the Waarderpolder.
If you have any questions about other buildings on the picture, just ask.
I cropped this picture a little bit and increased the colours, hope you like it!

Nice panorama-like view with good overview. Quite unique in a flat country like Holland.
I like the warm colours and the contrasts (especially the bright white colours of the fabrics and chimneys on the horizon)... and the compostion; there is so much the see (some red roofs, a hidden church or castle, or what is it? ). First I thought, why didn't he crop more, but now I understand.
Good information too!
Only a shame that there is a bit of noice in the sky. Nevertheless: good photo!

Hej Lars, what a funny picture. The castle in the left-hand corner looks like it was pasted onto the photograph, though I'm sure it isn't. Very nicely done!

Bonjour Lars
first time I see Amsterdam so.
nice panorama with dutch painters colorfull.
On part des premiers plans "écologiques" pour arriver une barrière lointaine très industrialisée, un peu effrayante...

Hi Lars,
This is my new favourite in your collection. Colours and balance between the sections are very good - especially considering that it is a poulated area with industries in the background.
Any ideas on why there is some noise in the sky?

Bonjour Lars,
Difficile de trouver mieux comme poste d'observation (45 m de hauteur). Nous voyons très loin et nous pouvons regarder les différentes activités sur cette photo façon panoramique.
Je vois également des éoliennes tout au fond.
C'est amusant de voir ce petit monde en réduction.
Idée très originale et très bien faite.
Bien amicalement.

Lars, j'aime ces différents plans qui nous mènent jusqu'aux cheminées qui côtoient le ciel au fond du paysage. Les arbres des premiers plans sont parés de belles couleurs d'automne et font un excellent graphisme. Bien rendu !

Interesting layers, from trees to the sky... It works well even if you're maybe a little far away. The smokes create contrast and are useful.

Not very easy to see the harbour, but the trees in the lower half of the picture are very nice, with the small hosues hidden here and there. Excellent sharpness.
All the best,
Emmanuel

lars
a general view of the town and even at distance we can see many details like the chimneys, windmills, buildings, etc. we can understand why this place was used for vigilance.
take care
