I did a little bike ride and saw this beautiful autumn image, and took this picture of the narrow river

Eede (river) Maldegem

Jump to navigation Jump to search
The Eede or Ee was a river that ran from Maldegem via Aardenburg to the Zwin, into which it flowed at Slepeldamme. This is located slightly north of the current Draaibrug.
The name of this river was first mentioned in 1279.
The Eede was of great importance because it provided Aardenburg with a harbor and a hinterland, because it was also connected to the Lieve
At Slepeldamme there was a lock where tolls were levied on behalf of the Count of Flanders. This lock was destroyed during the Revolt of Coastal Flanders in 1328. The lock was restored and the Eede was diked in 1337.
Slepeldamme, including the lock, disappeared during the inundation of 1583.
In times of war threat, the Eede was dammed several times, namely in 1688, 1701 and 1745, but the dam was always reopened quickly.
In 1701 Menno van Coehoorn used the river to build a defense line in connection with the War of the Spanish Succession: he diverted the water from the Eede via the Elderschans and the Kruisdijkschans to the Zwin. It was not until 1719 that the dam built for this purpose was reopened.
In 1813 the Ee was definitively closed and Aardenburg lost its harbour.
Now all that remains is a stream that is mainly known in Maldegem under this name (but then as Ede). The name of the village Eede also refers to that river.

I hope you like it.

Ciao John, great view of lovely river, wonderful autumnal colors, beautiful clarity and splendid light, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Helo John,
The river is indeed very narrow, but wide enough to show some fine reflections of the trees on its sides. The river and the equally narrow road on the left side create nice depth, but the best features of this photo are the autumn coloured plants along the banks of the river. It is generally a nice park, and in another week or two the autumn colours may have spread to most of the trees. You could go back then.
Best regards,
Gert

Hallo John,
Een mooi gezicht op het smalle riviertje dat hier door het park loopt. De foto heeft een mooie herfstsfeer dankzij het sombere weer dat niettemin wordt opgevrolijkt door de herfstkleuren van de bomen en struiken. Mooi werk.
Lars

Hello John, Is it a river? It looks like a stream. But with the plants in the autumn colours, it looks really beautiful. Nice discovery in your bike trip.
Best regards MAlgo

john

take care

PaulVDV (62802) 2021-11-01 13:14

Hallo John,
De herfstkleuren worden reeds heel zichtbaar in het gebladerte van het lagere struikgewas terwijl de blaadjes van de bomen nog overwegend groen zijn.
Ik vermoed dat je de foto vanop een brug nam waardoor we het beekje in zijn lengte kunnen zien en tevens enkele weerspiegelingen in het water zichtbaar worden.
Een foto met een goede compositie, veel diepte en een rustig natuurbeeld tonend.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hi John,

The length of the river is giving depth and perspective to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the trees. The light is giving nice tints to the colors of the picture. Have a nice day.

Hi John,
Perspective and pleasant colors with these autumn tones for leaves, well framed good symmetry, tfs.

Royaldevon (85606) 2021-11-02 6:42

Hello John,

I like how the autumnal colours of the riverside vegetation help to emphasise the route of the narrow river channel. They make a strong guide from f/g to b/g where we meet the canopy of trees.
Your use of the overhanging branches is very effective in linking the whole scene together.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

ChrisJ (171222) 2021-11-02 7:17

Hello John,

Good things sometimes come in small packages, and this picturesque river bedecked with the yellowing Autumn leaves along its bank seems to fit that description. Excellent sharpness and lighting too. Tfs!

Ilonka1974 (10289) 2021-11-02 11:13

Hi John,
Beautiful picture and a beautiful place, lovely colors and great composition.
Very well done.
Best regards
Janusz

mcmtanyel (67657) 2021-11-02 17:27

Hello John,
I am not sure if I could call this a river. It is more like a stream, or at most a creek. That, however, does not take away from the beauty of the scenery.
Regards,
MT

Gerrit (62042) 2021-11-03 1:12

Dag John,
Mooi herfstbeeld en fijne samenstelling met het beekje omzoomd door de gekleurde struiken en het pad links.
Groet, Gerrit

worldcitizen (15956) 2021-11-03 12:31

Hello John,
That might be one of the narrowest rivers I've ever seen. I wonder how deep it actually is... This is a lovely autumn view, with pretty colors on the edge of the river, and a relaxing atmosphere. Take care!

jean113 (27637) 2021-11-04 13:09

hello John, the changing colours of the leaves is what stands out as we view this scene.
It doesn't look the sunniest of days, but with colours like this it doesn't matter!
The stream is a useful way of leading us right to the heart of the picture.
Thank you.
Kind regards, Jean.

adramad (72562) 2021-11-04 13:17

Hi John.
A beautiful composition with the perspective of this small river, but which has its banks full of bushes, with beautiful autumn colors, it is a magnificent landscape.
Optimal sharpness, exposure and color.
Photo very well done. I like it
Enjoy a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

ikeharel (112439) 2021-11-05 11:09

Good evening John,
How wonderful this time of the years with all those colors...
Great POV, perfect sight of the small river through its length, trees on both sides and a walkingb train on left.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

Hi John,
Beautiful autumnal composition with the litte creek adding so much interest to the composition here. Very well spotted and photographed. There is no doubt it is autumn.
Excellent work,

Dear John,

You presented this tiny piece of paradise on Earth very nicely. I like the idea of orange leafs in the middle along the shore.

Best Wishes,
Gy.
