Damme and surroundings.
The Siphon, two bridges spanning the Schipdonk Canal and the Leopold Canal
Nice place for cycling and walking, as you can see in the picture, quiet and surrounded by nature.
Today more than 30 ° Centigrade, steel blue sky, but our ride was long the channel, under the trees in the shade, 30km ride.
Description:
The Siphon is a hamlet in the municipality of Damme on the place where the Damse Vaart is crossed by two parallel channels: the Schipdonkkanaal and the Leopold Canal. It is named after the hydraulic engineering work that functioned there until the First World War: the siphons.
I hope you like it

Hello John,
In this kind of sunshine and 30° Celsius I would prefer to stay somewhere in the shade, maybe with a cold drink, rather than being out on the roads. But apart from the heat this looks very nice. I like the inclusion of the two couples who have made different decisions how to see the countryside. They bring colours and life to the view of the pleasant scenery along the canal.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi John,
You have captured well the action of the cyclists and of the photographer. The length of the road is giving depth and perspective to the scene. The point of view is showing the detaild of the trees and of the bridge. Have a nice day.

Hallo John, cycle paths around the village of Damme allow to explore the countryside. The signs provide information about the length of the paths. The cyclists and passersby animate the scene. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hallo John,
Mooi perspectief in het midden met de lange groene brug, die mooi wordt geflankeerd door de twee wandelaars en de twee fietsers. De groene bomen tegen de strakblauwe lucht vormen een mooie achtergrond.

Hallo John,
De omgeving van Damme behoort tot Vlaanderens mooiste fietsgebieden.
Toen ik er ging wandelen, schrok ik van het grote aantal fietsers.
Ik meen me te herinneren dat je me gezegd hebt dat de zee van daar een 7-tal km. wandelen is. Ik zie hier dat Heist nog 11,5 km. is. Uiteraard is Heist niet de plaats aan zee die het dichtst bij Damme ligt.
Prachtige kleurrijke zomerfoto!
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello John,
It was roasting here, too!
You were right to stay in the shade of the trees!
You did well to include these figures and cyclists in your photograph. They immediately add human interest to a very beautiful spot on a very beautiful day!
The young couple in the f/g look confused about which way they should go, whilst the cyclists are confidently heading right.
Your sharp, clear photograph adds a narrative as well as a beautiful location.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Dag John,
What a lovely day for walking and cycling. A little bit too hot for some esp me even I came from hot country originally.
Last year we had more than 40 degree c, it was so unbearable.
I see a cart and a tent on the left hand side , are they belong to the farmer where they can sell their produces - fruits and vegetables normally. Or a cold fresh fruit juice on the day like this would be nice - I think that's what the 'wandelaars' were thinking. Or you were thinking we still have a few long km ride home in this heat............
Thanks for sharing.

Hello John,
This does indeed look to be a pleasant place for a walk or a bike ride. But on a hot day like this I am pleased that you managed to shelter from the strong sun by cycling under the trees.
Three is no doubt that the two cyclists and two walkers, all colourfully dressed, add much interest to this pleasing composition in which the bridge leads us so nicely over the canals, past tall trees and onward to the distant red roofed houses beneath a glorious clear blue sky.
Wonderful sunlight, rich colours, perfect exposure and exquisite details and clarity.
And, of course, an interesting note.
Beautiful!
Kind Regards,
John.

Hi John
A scenic rural landscape in summer and they sure know how to make the best of their times together. A lovely shot in bright weather with colourful people's presence which settles the focus of attention. It's immaculately detailed shot with sense of depth, great dof and superb contrast to deep blue sky! Impressive capture.
Best regards
