Photographer’s Note
I took this picture when we were on a short beak at the Veluwe. We went for a long walk at the Hoge veluwe national park, on a nice and sunny day.
About the Hoge Veluwe national park from the internet:
The landscape of the Hoge Veluwe National Park alternates between dry sandy soils, woods, heathland, shifting sands and old agricultural settlements. The world-famous Kröller-Müller Museum is situated in the park and boasts an art collection that includes paintings by Van Gogh, Seurat and Picasso and sculptures by Rodin, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. It also contains an underground museum, the Museonder, next to the Visitor Centre, where visitors can study underground flora and fauna. The park can be explored on one of the 1700 white bikes which are available free of charge.
Park’s main features: Dry sandy soils, woods, heathland
Special flora: Apart from the species enjoying the wet heathland habitat, like the bog-rosemary, marsh gentian, bog asphodel, also heath sedge and viper’s grass, clover dodder, fan clubmoss and stag’s horn clubmoss and water crowfoot
Special fauna: Red deer, moufflon and wild boar, tree grayling, Dark-green fritillary, niobe fritillary, grizzled skipper, bush cricket, nightjar, wheatear, wryneck and red-backed shrike.

Hello Nel,
I was drawn to your photograph by the BIG sky and the leaning tree. They both seemed so important to your shot!
The composition is quite brave but works very well!
I like the interplay of shadows and the interesting aeroplane lines skitting across the sky!
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Nel,
Mooie foto van de Veluwe met een prettige blauwe lucht. Prima compositie, de foto lijkt een beetje omhoog genomen te zijn, waardoor de hoogte van de boom links goed uitkomt in combinatie met zijn plaats op de voorgrond. Ook mooi hoe de rest van bos op de achtergrond in een curve oploopt naar rechts. De vliegtuigstrepen zijn een leuk detail.
Groeten,
Lars

Hello Nel,
I like the composition, where you cleverly use the big tree to frame the scenery!
And I notice the colour of the sky, indicating spring is coming...
A well balanced composition with good colours!
