Amsterdam aan Zee, a photo from Noord-Holland, South

Photographer's Note

Here a great sunny spring day in Camping Bakkum, which is also called 'Amsterdam at the Sea'. A few thousand people from Amsterdam put their caravan or little house there every year from march till november to get some sun and feel the nature and the country- and sea-air.

Hi Gerrit,
These shots with lots of people in sight get very cluttered quite often, but here that didn't happened at all. The sunny weather helps enhancing the relaxed holidays or weekend mood. Great colours and POV.
Regards, José.

Hi Gerrit,
Wonderful late summer shot of these happy campers crowded so close together.
The colors are very clear with excellent sharp details to this casual image.

Hello Gerrit,
A good daily life shot of this busy camp site. Relaxing under a heavenly blue sky or preparing for a long bike ride, what more could you wish for? Thanks for sharing.

Hallo Gerrit,
Een beeld zeer dynamisch en de zomer van dit drukke campig. Sommige scènes zijn erg grappig. Zeer mooi diepte en kleuren.
Gegroet,
Charo

Hi Gerrit,
I like this moment full of life doing camping with all those people relaxing and coming or leaving. Good depth by the view and the colours are natural and strong.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

riclopes (35567) 2008-09-09 2:31

Olá Gerrit, nice busy mood. Too busy for my taste I guess. I visited some similar campings this summer, also filled with Dutch people in Portugal and Spain ;-) A warm and colorful picture.

echt hollands tafreeltje Gerrit.
Helaas voor deze mensen op de camping hadden we een zeer slechte zomer, misschien krijgen we nog zomer in de herfst net als vorig jaar. prettige dag verder.
groet Jaap

Hi Gerrit,
very interesting daily life, regarding the habits of some Amsterdam's citizens. Apart a bit of lack of sharpness, the light is well managed and the perspective is very good.
Tfs and best regards.

Bonjour Gerrit
Une scène de vacances bien composée et au beau rendu de couleurs saturés sous ce ciel bleu intense.
Bonne soirée

josepmarin (55063) 2008-09-10 9:28

Hi Gerrit,
This camping scene is very spontaneous and authentic, and it might be taken in any Spanish camping, since the environment is very similar.
Relaxation and rest, vacations, the Sun and free air.
Good setting, and great light, the colors are magnificent.
Nice picture.
Best regards,
Josep

Dag Gerrit,

Zo te zien gaat hier alles gemoedlijk tussen de vele mensen, ja waarom niet, iedereen is met vakantie of eventje er tussenuit.
U namm een een beeld waarvan blijkbaar niemand vermoed dat u een foto neemt
Echt een beeld vanaf een camping, het vind dit wel mooi en ongeschonden. Bedankt

Groeten,
John.

hi Gerrit

This photo reminds me of my summer spent on travel across Canada and USA many years ago, especially 1 week spent in Quebec city at camp grounds which looked so similar to this scene, except they were all very friendly french people in Quebec.

I enjoy seeing this post.

tfs, bill
