In the bus that brought us back from Keukenhof to Amsterdam, I had the chance to take a rather successful photo despite the difficult conditions. Usually, photos from a bus are missed, and I don't take my camera out there.
Here, we discover a glimpse of the rich Dutch plain and the canals that criss-cross it.

Dans le bus qui nous ramenait de Keukenhof à Amsterdam, j'ai eu la chance de prendre une photo assez réussie malgré les conditions difficiles de prise. Habituellement, les photos en bus sont ratées, et je n'y sors pas mon appareil photo.
On y découvre un aperçu de la riche plaine hollandaise et des canaux qui la sillonnent.

I am always amazed at the Tulip fields in Holland. The vivid display of colour these stunning flowers display is simply a joy to watch, I had to take this shot. Looking back through my catalogue I came across this capture from a few years ago, reminding me of the freedom and travel, and looking forward to seeing it again soon.
Streefkerk is a town in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Molenlanden, and lies on the southside of the river Lek, about 20 kilometres east of Rotterdam.
In 2004, the town of Streefkerk had 2600 inhabitants. The built-up area of the town was 0.37 km², and contained 628 residences. The statistical area "Streefkerk", which also can include the surrounding countryside, has a population of around 2,600.
Streefkerk was a separate municipality until 1986, when it became part of Liesveld. The latter has been part of Molenwaard since 2013.
Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.
This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.
The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.
In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.
While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.
I took this on Sept 10th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 58mm 15 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

Sunny summer day in the Dutch countryside with all it takes: the mill, the duck on river, cows and even bicycles.
Vlist River and polders at Bonrepas near Schoonhoven, Holland.
This week's theme of Macro Mondays is "Just White Paper". I did not know that I could have so much fun with just a piece of white paper!
I have folded a piece of white paper and - because I just cannot shoot without color (sorry for that) - shone a small red light against the edges of the sheet. The shot was backlit by daylight.
Thank you for your views, comments and maybe even faves! I appreciate it!
HMM everyone!
Lisse is a quaint town situated in the Netherlands, and it is renowned for being the epicenter of the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens, where visitors can marvel at a spectacular array of vibrant tulips and other spring flowers. Located in the province of South Holland, Lisse is ideally positioned in the heart of the Dutch flower-growing region.
One day, the mist, the light, it was there. Mind the speed, only 30 km. Going to school or work, on a dike, travel in the dutch style , on bicycle

The design and operation of a windmill depended on various characteristics of the wind such as wind speed and changes in wind speed, wind direction and changes in wind direction, wind turbulence, and the height of the wind above the ground. An average windspeed of 15 to 25 miles per hour and a prevailing wind were necessary for operation of a mill. The critical component of a mill's operation was the sails. The force of the wind on the sails caused them to turn and rotate the axle, or windshaft, on which they were set. The brake wheel, located inside the top of the mill, also was attached to the windshaft, and its movement drove the millstones and all other machinery inside the mill.
Mills usually had four sails, but five, six, and eight-sailed mills were also built. The earilest sails were wooden, cloth-covered frames known as common sails. They were light and powerful but had to be stopped for the miller to furl the sails. As windmill design advanced, the cloth sails were replaced with sails with shutters. In 1807, William Cubitt invented a sail which could be adjusted while the sails were turning. The shutters of this sail could be opened and closed automatically and worked like venetian blinds to aid in utilizing the wind. A windmill's sails had to always be square into the "eye of the wind" as the mill was designed and balanced to resist pressure from the front only. If a mill was tail-winded, the cloths or shutters could be blown out, the cap blown off, or the mill itself blown over, often with the miller in it. Because the wind changes, the mill had to be capable of being turned into the wind whatever the direction. This was called "winding the mill." The turning gear was the tail pole, and bodily force was used to effect the turn.
This is a hybrid iris, developed from species native to Portugal, Spain, and North Africa.

This is from one of my recent visits to a garden nursery. I was attracted to the edge of a polytunnel by a splash of bright colour. When I looked closer, the colour was from plant pots and labels. There was a small green plant stoically growing in each plant pot. The plants weren’t for sale. So I smiled at myself because I thought I’d found exactly what I was looking for, some colourful bedding plants. Appearances once more deceptive. I’ve rotated the image so it’s at the “Dutch Angle”. The merits of the latter are a bit of a challenge, given the time I spend editing photographs to straighten horizons.
