Farmhouse in the Flemish polders Photo

Photographer’s Note

A typical farmhouse in the Flemish polders, between Damme and Oostkerke, some km of Brugge.

A polder is a low-lying tract of land enclosed by embankments know as dikes. In Europa, there are polders especially in Netherlands but also in the north of France and Belgium.

Hi Roger,
A fine picture with these clearly defined horizontal lines in different but very harmonic colours. I like that greygreen together with the orange roof. Also those vertical trees contribute to the composition!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Bonjour
on a déjà vu ces polders sur TE et là, encore tu nous montres cette ferme longère sur ce polder et tu as pris soin d'inclure les deux troncs d'arbre et tu sais que j'aime assez inclure des arbres ou troncs dans les compositions
une belle maison de caractère avec ces volets et porte rouge
belle composition

Fascinating construction. It looks as if the house and barn is connected, yes? It looks also as if it have been constructed in at least three different parts. Very interesting. I like how the trees in the foreground frame the shot and keep it from falling off the page. Nice point of view at nearly ground level. Thank you. Judy

Hi Roger,

Nicely done on the framing of this farmhouse between the two trees with the lush green field in the foreground. Like the colors on the farmhouse whit,red and orange. Well done on the lighting and sharpness Roger.

Best regards
Jason.

Ah oui, typique!!!

J'aime beaucoup ta photo Roger!
Elle est simple, claire et présentée dans un format ad hoc!
En tout cas, je ne crois pas que les habitants savent qu'il y a des primes à l'isolation :))

Bonne soirée

Hello Roger,
I wa really captivated by the beauty of your composition.

Hello Roger,
The ridge line on that farm house is really showing its age, amazing that the timbers can sag so drastically but still maintain their integrity. I must look up some detail regarding the design of these houses, the roof space with the very high gable seems totally out of proportion the the height of the walls.
An insightful capture.
Regards
Peter

Hi Roger, Nice photo. Fantastic roofs, so old and big. Very similar roofs I saw lately on the west part of Poland. Maybe Flemish influence??

Warm regards

Hello,

Fantastique iamge, ce toit ondulé avec ces tuiles rouge est mangigique comme une petite vague l'effet, avec le cadrage des deux troncs d'arbre, le champs de blé qui donne un sper premier plan mouvant, mangigique ensemble.

Hello Roger,
A good capture of this old farmhouse. I like the vibrant red tones of the roof, which make a fine contrast with the softer green tones of the foreground vegetation.

Gerrit (35417) 2009-06-17 3:17

Dag Roger,
prachtige oude boerderij in zeer mooie kleuren en een goede compositie.
Het dak moet wel eens worden opgeknapt, zie ik.
Groeten Gerrit

Bonjour Roger,
Cette maison serait appelée une longère dans le Centre-Ouest de la France. Les couleurs vives, mais mesurées, sont très agréables. Joli cadrage avec les arbres. Bravo.
Bonne journée.
Amicalement

Ciao caro Roger,
sono molto belli i colori di questa farmhouse, ma mi piace soprattutto il modo in cui hai composto l'immagine, con molto prato sotto ed i due alberi ai lati.
Un'altro ottimo fotolavoro.
Un caro saluto.
Giorgio

lucasgalodoido (16537) 2009-06-17 8:06

Hi Roger,
very interesting the red color of the roofs, and I´d like of the contrast with the green too. Great job.

Lucas

Salut Roger.
Une présentation attractive avec cette capture dans horizontal, en nous montrant cette construction si originale et peu connue à nous. Un joli effet graphique dans blanc et rouge.
Des saluts.
Luis.

belido (15997) 2009-06-17 11:23

Bonjour Roger,

very good panorama. It works very well for this scene. The inclusion of the two trunks defines well the lenght of the building in the frame. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

polpo56 (7752) 2009-06-17 12:51

Ciao Roger,
un'immagine che si basa sulla contrapposizione dei piani, ben delineati dalle variazioni di colore.
Semplice ed efficace.
Bravo!
Un abbraccio

Hi Roger,

Good capture of this farmhouse. I like the undulation of the roof and the low vegetation on the tile. Very good colors.

Bonsoir Roger,
Une belle photo de notre plat pays bien composée avec ces lignes horizontales et les différentes bandes de couleurs encadrées par les deux arbres. Et simplement un plaisir à regarder.
Bonne soirée,
Paul

paololg (13130) 2009-06-17 15:11

Ciao caro Roger,
interessante immagine soprattutto per il modo in cui tu l'hai composta, incrociando piacevomente le linee arizzontali e verticali in un insieme quasi obliquo.
Un lavoro ottimamente realizzato, bravo!
Ciao, buon giovedì!
Paolo

Waylim (10667) 2009-06-17 17:38

Roger,
Good quality photo, good sharpness, good clarity. Compositionally not the best, The tree trunk is a bit distracting, the cropped make the house seem squeezed down into the ground. If you were to get more sky and part of the leaves of the trees to frame the iamge would have been better. Or avoid the tree all together.

You play very well with light and shadow.
Very well captured and nice composed. TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

pierrefonds (25871) 2009-06-19 15:11

Bonsoir Roger,

Les deux arbres cadrent bien la maison. la prise de vue permet de distinguer les détails et les couleurs de l'architecture de la maison. la bonne luminosité donne un bon contraste à la couleurs blanche des murs. le rouges des portes et l'orange des tuiles du toit. bonne journée.

Pierre

crisc (0) 2009-06-21 13:16

Ferme typique flamande avec ses toits rouges et ses murs très bas chaulés. Bon cadrage aavec ces deux arbres inclinés par le vent de lamer.

emjleclercq (14125) 2009-06-22 13:35

Jolie cadrage assez bas sur ce long batiment de ferme et excellente combinaison de couleurs.

Bien cordialement,
