Photographer’s Note
During my bike trip, I saw this beautiful old farm. I have at once made a picture.
In Flanders are still a few farms as these old farm. The most farms are as these buildings through the government as monument registered. On this place cannot be not built, only restorations works.
The farm dated out of the 17th century, this on mile 5 of my village.
Very lovely for life, as well as people, as for animals.
This is the original picture.
I hope you like it.

Hai John, I love the color of this photo and the farm. The clouds are nice and the framing of the tree on top is an extra touch.

Hi John
Another wonderful shot of the country side The color are so pleasant making the contrast against the beautiful sunny sky.
It's cool that you are able to include the cattles into your image.
Well done, John.

Prachtig hoevetje, John, met de typisch linden voor de deur. Zeer goed gekadreerd, scherp en vooral mooie kleurweergave. Ik meen het te herkennen maar ben niet zeker... staat het in de Warmestraat??
Groeten ... Tars

zeker niet Uw beste foto John,
maar zeker niet onaangenaam om naar te kijken.
Misschien had een cropp aan de rechterkant aardig geweest voor de compositie, verder zijn de kleuren zeker in orde. Goed werk John.

Eénvoud siert, en hoe je dit rustig sober Vlaams weiland met hoeve in beeld brengt met die lendige diepe kleuren, is altijd enig, mooi vanuit de shaduw genomen om tevens als cadrering te gebruiken.

Heel mooie omgeving, dat is zeker en de boerderij ziet er heel mooi uit. Ik ben er zeker van dat je er prachtig kunt leven. Mooi samengesteld, goeie verdeling lucht/grond en de bladeren in de hoek zijn een goed detail. Mooie kleuren en goede kwaliteit zoals gewoonlijk. Ik probeer het te plaatsen maar ik kan het niet direct herkennen; is wel typisch voor die streek.

A quaint and relaxed countryside view, John. As usual the natural colors and the appealing setting with the animals having a relaxed outing on the green pasture makes a pleasant viewing. The framing is not too exciting but certainly very nice, especially with the light clouds hovering above. Have a good week!

J'aime bien ce paysage "leger", très rural. Il y a aussi ce ciel dont la hauteur est fixé par l'encadrement de verdure... Une bonne idée qui équilibre bien la composition.
Compliments

Hi John. This shot has great sharpness and horizon placement. I'm a sucker for puffy clouds every time! :) Another good one from a bike trip John, I'm jealous!

Hi John,
A well composed shot rendered with superb colour, contrast and clarity. I like the richly textured foreground grass enhanced by the shadows leading the eye to the old farmhouse. The little trees help balance and the large, prosaic sky very much help make the scene bucolic and inviting. Well captured. Regards.

Hello John.
The landscape is splendid and these small farms are of rare beauties. Beautiful work of the colors and the play of the shade and the light gives a beautiful result. A hello of Wallonia of a little child of the father of my Flemish father.

Hi John! This what I like to see - traditional and old farms. The place looks preserved, and I agree that it should be maintained that way! The lighting, sharpness and colors are again wonderful as usual! Very good work! rgds.

Well John what intrigues me is how a farm from the 17th century is still doing well today. Its gorgous John to view this place. I love it. I would love to know what parameters you set your 300D at? You always get it perfect in your postings. Cheers Paul

Very tranquil farm John. Everything speaks of tranquility here. The lighting, the colors, the lazy sky. It all has a slower feel to it that is refreshing. It also has such a clean feel to it, also refreshing. The cows seem quite content standing and resting there chewing on grasses.
