Photographer’s Note

Extensive parts of the Netherlands are below sea level, and the Alblasserwaard is no different. Most of it has been won from the water through land reclamation, using the windmills on the Kinderdijk. This process led to the area being full of dikes alongside the rivers. Most of the Alblasserwaard is grassland, where in the spring and summer one will find herds of cows, sheep and goats. The ground consists of clay.
Bleskensgraaf is really called Bleskensgraaf and Hofwegen. They were combined in 1855. The village forms part of the municipality of Graafstroom, which includes also Goudriaan, Molenaarsgraaf, Brandwijk, Ottoland, Oud-Alblas and Wijngaarden. Apart from a number of old farms and a flourmill, Bleskensgraaf does not have many monuments.

The village lies in the middle of the polder landscape of the Alblasserwaard, on the small bog river Alblas. There is the Natuurpad [Nature trail] Bleskensgraaf, which also passes along the hamlet of De Donk, which lies on a seven-metre high hill. A ‘donk’ is a type of sand dune which originated in the ice age. Some protrude above the peat and clay ground. Bleskensgraaf also lies on the signposted ‘Molenroute’ [Windmill route] for cyclists.

Another one of this fantastic country for taking photo's, I hope you like the shot.

Prachtige winterfoto van dit polderlandschap. Heel goed licht en mooie kleuren. De weerkaatsingen in de rivier zijn heel helder. Vooral die van de wilgen vind ik schitterend.
Beste groeten, Paul

Hallo Jaap,

Ik heb u toch gevonden, want het is even wennen nietwaar.
Een winter beeld met een stil water dit zorgt voor perfecte weerspiegeling.
Mooi samenstelling met deze typische Hollandse boerderij.
Goed foto werk, bedankt.

Prettig weekend,
John

hello Jaap
the splendid light gives wonderful warm colours to this landscape,particularly on the house,and the reflection is maybe more beautiful than the reality with the whiteness of the clouds!Magnificent!

asajernigan (14132) 2009-05-22 3:52

Jaap,
This is a great shot with a fantastic reflection. The reflection provides depth and balance for the scene. He angle of the shot is great giving the shot a nice sense of depth and direction. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and DOF.
TFS,
Asa

Floydian (30970) 2009-05-22 5:52

Hallo Jaap,

Je post veel minder...druk, te weinig materiaal, of meer aktief op een andere site?
Niet spectaculair in het odnerwerp, beetje recht door het midden, maar toch zit er een bepaalde sfeer in de foto die ik wel mag zien. Vooral hoe het zonlicht het huis raakt, de knotwilgen daar naast en eht schuurtje er achter. De lucht spreekt mij ook niet zo aan, wel de reflectie, die is heel natuurlijk en mooi diep opgetekent....
Wens je alvast een prettig weekend,

Groet,

Henk

npecanhuk (13921) 2009-05-22 5:55

Hello Jaap!
I guess you already know I crazily love reflections and this one is just perfect, with magnificent symmetry and wonderful details, specially the wooden houses and the leafless trees!
I'd like to point out the great photo qualities: sharpness, exposure, natural colors and a well chosen pov!
TFS - congratulations!
My warmest regards and greetings from Brazil,

Dag, Jaap. Je hebt hier een zeer mooi licht. De compositie is ook zeer goed met de diagonale lijn van de oever die dwars door de foto loopt. De reflecties zijn zeer mooi en de verschillende elementen goed op hun plaats in de foto.
Prettige dag verder,

racheltafoya (505) 2009-07-20 12:00

Greetings Jaap :)

Your photos continue to educate us about the Netherlands. I tend to prefer a roll to the land, yet you always manage to make the flat areas of your local area look stunningly beautiful.

I can tell you put a lot of thought into each image, and I respect that.

My favorite aspect of this photo is the feel created by the blue-gray hues. It seems to be chilly out. Yet there's such a serenity here because of the still water and crisp reflection. I can imagine sitting in the boat where you must be located for this shot, listening to the silence, and enjoying being a part of it....

Thanks so much for sharing!

Warm Regards,

Rachel

Muse (31007) 2009-07-22 10:25

Hi Jaap,
I see that, like me and well of others, you are less present on TE. I hope however that you are well and that the summer occurs well. Your photographs miss on the site!
Here a very pretty landscape and a superb light. The reflections are very pretty and the calm spring of this beautiful compo.
I wish you an excellent evening
Best regards,
Denise

subhendu_bagchi (3101) 2009-07-29 12:14

Namaste Jaap, as a newcomer in TE. I think I have no wright to criticise the work of a photographer like you. But I can't resist myself after seeing this almost mirror-like reflection image. Good detailing with diagonally framed composition. Light management is excellent. Sharpness is adorable. Just marvellous.... Have a nice day.
Subhendu.

feather (49860) 2009-08-14 14:31

It was good to hear from you again Jaap.
You have not posted in a while but you have some I didn't see when I had my long break. I love the winter light on this one, and the still water is a perfect mirror to reflect the scene.

Hello Jaap -

Another fantastic image from the Netherlands. The reflection is spot on the money. The diagonal composition adds a lot of depth to the scene. Excellent!

Thank you for sharing.

Hello Jaap,
As expected, another really wonderful shot, and this one is churming and cozy, feel like home, relax atmosphere and tranqil setting. Refelection so great it's like double the beautiful scenery.

Hello Jaap,

Lovely old houses nicely located by the canal!
The calm waters reflects the scene nicely, and I admire the sharp fine details in the frame...
The fine light renders a great colour palette, and the house in the centre really stands out in the scene!

Greetings,

Hi Jaap,

I can say this is Jaap composition :) Perfect reflection and pleasant lighting. What impress me in here is exposure management. There is no difference between the sky and the reflected are on it. Great work!
Regards,
Carlos
