Photographer's Note
At maybee 200 meters from the Belgian-Dutch border lies the village of Sint-Anna-Ter-Muiden. You can believe me: it is one of the most peaceful and beautiful villages in the region.
Nowadays, it is a rather small village, but this "settlement" used to be a town with town rights, a harbour and it was even a member of the London Hansa (for those interested in Medieval commerce...). It lay on the border of the Zwin, which was the seabay that took ships to Bruges in the Middle Ages. On the other side of the bay, the Town of Sluis was founded. Due to the silting up of that seabay, ships had more and more difficulties to reach the harbours and eventually these towns decayed. There was also a lot of fighting in this area (especially Spanish - Dutch) in the 16/17th century.
I know the colours are not perfect, but wanted to show this nice little place anyway. Thanks for your comment; only through comment we can improve.

Bonjour Hendrik,
probablement ma région favorite des Pays-Bas bien que je n'ais pas encore vu le Nord.
Une ville tranquille avec une petite place bien entretenue. La photo illustre le soin des hollandais à entretenir leur territoire.
Magnifiques couleurs naturelles.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Dag Hendrik,
St-Anna ter Muiden een gehucht dat geen mens weet liggen, maar alleen door kunst schilders druk wordt bezocht en zeker gewardeerd.
De foto is van 2004 maar zou even goed van 1950 kunnen zijn, na de weder opbouw na de oorlog, alleen de auto had ik weggekloond, want dit teken met een jaartal. En zoals u mij kent heb ik een WS gemaakt, en een mooi podium geplaats op de plaats van de wagen, ik moet mij tocht met iets bezig houden nietwaar.
Hendrik, ik vind uw foto zeer mooi, ik ken dit plekje als geen ander, bijna driemaal in de week kom ik daar voorbij.
Prachtig foto werk.
Groeten,
John

Hi Hendrik,
No need to saturate the hues here, as the natural colours are just fine, with good shadow effects. I like the way you used the lamp post here on the left to balance the frame. Indeed a serene, peaceful village. The summer light is very evident. Have a good week, Hendrik.
John

Bonjour, mon ami Hendrik,
Ah ! comme il est agréable de voir des villages qui ont su garder leur âme, leur identité, leur beauté, leur taille humaine. Un endroit où l'on aimerait vivre, profiter le plus possible.
Une très bonne prise de vue avec un intérêt manifeste quant au sujet.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Salut Hendrik,
ca a l'air bien calme comme endroit, et on voit que tout est bien propre en ordre comme toujours dans les villages neerlandais.
Bonne journee,
Jean-Yves

It does look like a pretty little village and quite exclusive. The light is good and I can't see anything wrong with the colours unless you would prefer them to be more saturated. Well done
Kath
