My bicycle trip 10 km of my home, but in the Netherlands.
Normally it is forbidden to drive to the Netherlands without a valid reason, for my urgent family visit.

History
HEILLE Netherlands

From the 13th century onwards, Heille was a craft in the Brugse Vrije, which also covered part of present-day Belgium, but this came to an end in 1664, when the border between the Northern and Southern Netherlands was definitively established.
From 1797 Heille was an independent municipality, but in 1880 it was added to the municipality of Sluis, after which further reclassifications followed.
The Dutch part of Heille has traditionally consisted of two hamlets, namely Oud-Heille and Nieuw-Heille, which were separated by the Stierskreek. Nieuw-Heille is also called 'De Ronduit', after the word 'redoubt', a small fortification that used to be here.

I hope you like it.

Hallo John,
Een fietstocht naar het buitenland? Blijkbaar heb je het aangename aan het noodzakelijke kunnen koppelen.
Het was gisteren een prachtige lentedag. Vandaag ook.
De bloesems van deze bomen doen denken dat de lente definitief in het land is.
Mooi gepresenteerd met de bocht waardoor de straat achter het struikgewas verdwijnt. De pittoreske hoeve is nog goed zichtbaar.
De foto toont de sfeer van een rustige landelijke baan ver van alle drukte.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello John,
The big tree to the right is blossoming beautifully and the other trees will soon be covered with fresh leaves. The view will change in the coming weeks. but it is already very nice, especially in such a lovely weather. You stopped in a good place for a nice composition where the road makes a bend in front of the white cottage. As usual sharpness and clarity are perfect.
Best regards,
Gert

jean113 (27819) 2021-03-27 12:40

Hello John, a beautiful scene.
The road leads us right through the picture, beginning with the tree full of flowers, it looks like a Magnolia, then towards the cottage and the pollarded trees.
Sharpness and natural colours are excellent.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi John,

The length of the road is creating depth. The point of view is showing the details of the trees and of the house. The quality of the light beautifies the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi John
A moment when landscape about to show off its splendour with burst of spring colours to lift the mood. I think you could not ask for anything better when nature lavishes its best upon you....
Best regards

Hi John,
Nice composition well balanced, pleasant springtime with flowers and nice sunlight, good perspective with the road and the curve, tfs.

Hi John

The curving road adds good lead in lines and linear perspective. Excellent density levels and sharpness. Tfs!

Hi John,
we have plenty of restrictions in England as well although they are slowly being lifted now.
But one of the valid resons to leave the house in exercise so if you were on bike I suppose you could go as far as you would like.
Beautiful rural scene here. I like the white blooming tree, and the motif of the road, which leads to the charming house.
Very picturesque scene, well spotted!

Hello John ,
A superb spring composition with the pretty white house as an excellent focal element . The curve of the road and the flowery tree are attractive , too .
Regards

Hallo John,
Dit begint er al heel lenteachtig uit te zien, zeker dankzij het heldere zonlicht en de bloesem in de boom. De compositie is uitstekend, vooral dankzij de flauwe bocht in de weg met daarachter het witte huisje naast de hoge boom.

Dear John,

I do hope that, when I will be as old you, I will still make 10 km bicycle rides. :) Joking apart, this is another nice photo from your neighbourhood.

Best Wishes,
Gy.

Fis2 (170669) 2021-03-28 12:41

Witaj John!
Wonderful place, view is impressive.
I like a flowering tree.
Excellent framing, colors and light.
Spring!
Well done.
Good evening.
Krzysztof

Hello John

Lovely image of the countryside. A very hard POV to achieve for many. The long shadows across the road create just the right touch.

Royaldevon (85862) 2021-03-29 3:00

Hello John,

Your beautifully composed photograph ensures that we travel the irresistible, curved road, to the strongly placed, white house. We are in no hurry, with plenty of time to smile at the spring-blossoming tree and the yellow forsythia shrub.
The atmosphere is definitely spring, with a fine dat to support it!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

ktanska (44738) 2021-03-29 10:07

Hi John,
Those flowering trees really look lovely and give a strong feeling of spring. This narrow road looks peaceful and optimal for a bicycle trip. Here in Tampere it's +3 degrees and rain, but the weather should get better in a couple of days.

Hello John
Bicycling through these paths must be very pleasant, I think. You are fortunate.
Nice colors and sunlight on this image.

Best regards

foxy (3461) 2021-03-30 13:23

Hello John,
This was the same date as my latest posted photo.
You have such a lovely clear blue sky.
The trees look stunning beautiful against the blue sky and the sunlight makes the whole scene so appealing. Especially the typical dutch house , so attractive with a road leading us to it.
The bicycle trip I made , I feel ashamed of myself ...compare to you :-)
Thanks for sharing this 'border trip'.
Loong

p/s: yeah, I can read Dutch but writing 'heel slecht'. I prefer to write in English , easier for me.

ikeharel (113273) 2021-03-31 5:57

Crossing the border and yet looks just as the Belgium side, John.
Marvelous bright day, colors naturally enhanced and wonderful white blossom on the big tree. Charming sight on picture.
Good afternoon,
Ike

adramad (72940) 2021-04-01 11:20

Hi John.
A beautiful spring composition with those flowering trees, the perspective of the road towards the typical house on the curve is ideal, the tree next to it is magnificent.
A magnificent range of colors, in very attractive tones.
Good brightness and sharpness management.
Enjoy a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello John,

I love the springtime mood in this picture. It seems that the spring is more advanced in Belgium than here. The lovely curve of the road is leading to the main subject. Great photo work.

Best regards and Happy Easter
