Hallo John!
A really interesting picture with a lot of details! The contrast is incredible but I think the oldest part is the most beautiful. One nearly can see that time didn't play a big role when these buildings were constructed. Once again, very interesting ... also the added picture!

Hello John!
I really liked the composition! I love architecture and it was an excellent idea to give us this picture with three generations in architecture so well shown!
Colours, POV and sharpness are very good!
As for my preference, in this case, I just don't like the buildings from the 70's - worldwide they're so ugly!
TFS - Congratulations!

Ik ken deze plaats maar al te goed John, vrienden van me wonen in de rechtse building, een zeer klare foto, misschien het blauw in de lucht wat te fel, de WS lijkt me net iets beter belicht, die lens heeft een prachtige scherpte en detaillering.

Hallo John,
Dit is een mooie plaat met een sterke kleur en vlakverdeling in een mooi perspectief. Vind deze kwa opbouw veel mooier dan je ws versie, verstandige keuze om deze dus te posten. Lekker vet in de kleuren met ene zeer goede brilliantie en scherpte...prima werk.

Bonjour John,

je reste quelques moments de plus sur cette photo en definissant les differents styles des batiments. Et puis, les pensees s'en vont vers les peintres Flandrins, merveilleux par leur technique et sensibilite. J'aime bien cette photo et je constate encore une fois la grande qualite de la realisation. Grand merci,

John,
This is a great shot including these various styles of architecture. Your composition is great using the canal to lead the eye into the shot. The lighting and colors are fine with excellent sharpness and DOF. I am not sure that I don't like the WS shot better than this one!

Pas mal cette juxtaposition d'architecture. Un endroit très parlant en terme d'époque architecturale. J'aime beaucoup le contraste entre le pont et les tours modernes en arrière plan !
Bien vu!

De e-mail functie van trekearth doet het niet anders had ik al eerder langsgekomen John.
Dit is erg realistisch , wat een woord. De foto is zeer goed als een echte Maenhout genomen. Als U my oprecht vraagt of ik het mooi vind dat moderne bij het mooie oude zeg ik U nee. Maar dit is realiteit, zeer goed uitgevoerd. prettige dag verder, maar dat zal wel lukken met deze temperatuur.

Hi John,

A good way to show history, the architeture from old to modern, the diagonal line of the river leads our eyes toward the modern highrise buildings framed by the old on the left and less old on the right. The reflections in the water are assets to the composition. There is a good contrast between the colors. Have a nice day.

Good choice of shooting angle, John, to present this very contrasting ensemble of different architectural styles. Nice perspective element provided by the canal, and vivid colors enhanced by the good lighting.

Goedenavond, John.
Zeer intrigerend uitzicht op drie verschillende tijdperken. Haarscherp neergezet, met perfect gesatureerde kleuren. Topwerk, zoals ik van jou inmiddels gewend ben!
Ik wens je nog een hele fijne avond, en tot gauw.
Ciao,

Dag John,
a mixture of modern and old houses and the view over the Lieve, the bridge, two swans, a wonderful old red wall and the green from the left. This is a very pleasant view and it has a great brightness and clarity. A well done spring capture. The view of the second with the boat is nice too.

Goedenavond John,
Een prachtige combinatie van drie architectuurstijlen, bovendien nog eens heel mooi afgewisseld met fris lentegroen. Heerlijke kleuren ook en natuurlijk prachtige spiegelingen in het licht gerimpelde water. Ook de compositie kon niet beter. Heel mooi, bedankt!
Groeten,

Dag, John. Een foto die ons door de eeuwen heen laat reizen. En ik moet toegeven dat de moderne gebouwen niet de mooiste zijn. Ik vind de kleuren uitstekend in uw foto en de verschillende elementen zijn zeer goed geplaatst in de samenstelling. De drie verschillende stijlen zijn goed te onderscheiden en krijgen elk voldoende ruimte in het beeld. De bomen op de actergrond scheiden de Rbot van de andere gebouwen. En de mooie groene oever aan de linkerkant zorgt voor een uitmuntend perspectief.

This is an interesting perspective, looking down this stream, with the 3 different eras of architecture on display. The stream itself holds some interest of it's own with the swans and I like the greenery bordering the stream. Colour is very good with good sharp detail.

Thanks, John

Dag John. Een goed perspectief dat je hiervoor hebt gekozen. Mooie kleuren ook. Ik vind het rabot een prachtig gebouw en met die treurwilg er dan nog bij. Alleen de achtergrond met die torenflats... Ik vind dat de stad Gent het hier toch wel slecht gedaan heeft kwestie van urbanisatie. Ik vind het echt goed dat je dit ook toont.

Hoi John,

Ja, wat een contrast hier in architectuur!!
Een buskruit opslag. Wat een prachtig verhaal. Ja, er is in ieder geval genoeg water in de buurt als dat de lucht in zou zijn gegaan :-).
En wat een lelijkheid die wolkenkrabbers, die betonnen woon-kolossen. Ja, hier heeft design niet mee gespeeld. En dat terwijl het wel mogelijk is om mooi met beton te bouwen! Ik neem aan dat die twee woontorens uit einde jaren zestig, jaren zeventig stammen. Toen ging het nog niet om mooi :-).
Bedankt voor deze upload!

Groetjes, Dennis

Les grands immeubles dérangent un peu ce paysage d'une autre époque mais la photo reste très belle. J'aime le rouge des briques qui s'oppose aux verts de la végétation et de l'eau.
Excellente photo.

Très jolie cette photo avec trois générations d'architecture. Belle harmonie de couleurs avec un magnifique ciel et superbe réflection dans le canal. Un beau sujet pour une peinture mais sans les édiffices modernes derrière. Beau contraste entre la verdure et les édiffices à droite.

Hi John,
perfect contrast between these different architectural styles, of different times, and that has much strength in the composition, because are combined harmonically with the river, the so green vegetation and the blue sky.
The photographic result is magnificent.
Great work, my friend.

Hello Dear John,

A very appropriate title for a photograph and note that spans the centuries. The white swans are a critical element in the effectiveness of the note.

(John, I like the new photo of you, and "your better half," as we say in English.)

Warm regards, and have a good weekend, good friend.

Hallo John,

Dit is een foto die mij in hoge mate boeit. Mijn bouwkundige opleiding wordt hier weer extra aangesproken. Oud van vroeger en nieuw van onze tijd geven vaak scherpe contrasten, maar oud van vroeger en nieuwe van vroeger herkennen we vaak nauwelijks. B.v. Bijna niemand realiseert zich dat de gevels van de grachten in Amsterdam soms honderden jaren na elkaar zijn gebouwd. Als we goed kijken kunnen we dat duidelijk zien, maar vaak willen we dat niet zien.

groet Rob

PS Bert stelt 6 of 7 juni voor of anders juli, dan heeft hij vrij veel vrije tijd.

HAllo een typisch en triest voorbeeld van hoe steden in de hele wereld 'vervuild' zijn door deze 70 jarige flats!
Een andere goed voorbeeld is Blanquenbergen waar uit wij zo snel mogelijk weggereden zijn.
Ik vind deze foto beter dan de tweede doordat de contrast beter geisoleerd is.
Prettige avond

Bonsoir John,

Un contraste architectural surprenant et je trouve dommage que l'on autorise la construction de ces immeubles de grande hauteur dans un tel paysage, immeuble qui ont tout de même presque 40 ans... Belle harmonie des couleurs dans le premieur plan avec le rouge de la brique. J'aime beaucoup le reflet dans la rivière. Dans la photo bonus il y a une belle profondeur. Intéressant, merci John.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,

Hello John,I like your idea to show three types of buildings from different times.
You were blessed with sunshine which has really lifted the colours.
Good POV; the leaves at the edge of your shot help to make a good frame.
The building with the towers is very special.

Hi John. The tower blocks look a little out of place in the main post but the older buildings look out of place in the workshop photo, I like the main post best! Excellent relaxed mood with natural colours and dynamic composition. Thanks for sharing.
