Great shot! I like the misty background, and the way the road and canal 
converge at the farm in the background.

We explored very similar territory a few years ago in the Netherlands, between 
Utrecht and Gouda, whence came a branch of my wife’s family. Two-way traffic on 
one-lane dikes made for interesting driving.

Re: PESO: Le plat pays and the sugar factory

2009-01-21 Thread Bob Sullivan 
Ralf,
I like the detail in the first photo, the bridge and canal with the
buildings in the background.
It is a very 'matter of fact' representation of the scene, but
compelling none the less.
I feel invited to explore the details and wonder about the crossing.
I don't feel the second photo translates as well.
At 10,000 pixels wide, the detail must be enormous but it is lost on the screen.
Furthermore, the buildings on both sides of the canal block the
distant horizons.
I think one of the pleasures of viewing your photos is marveling at
those distant details.
Regards,  Bob S.

Not many people know that the typical Flemish landscape extends from
Belgium well into Northern France. People even used to speak Flemish
there until the government in Paris put an end to this like they've done
with all regional languages in various French regions. By the early 20th
century, there were signs on the local  schoolyards saying "It is
forbidden to spit on the ground and to speak Flemish!" 


Nowadays, everybody speaks French, but the unique wide-open landscape,
"le plat pays", known from Jacques Brel's famous song with "its
cathedrals as the only mountains" and "its sky so grey that a canal
hanged itself" remains. Here's a typical scene from les Attaques, a
village along the Canal de Calais:

Next one is a stitched pano of a former sugar mill, a few miles further
up the same canal. 6 frames (portrait) stitched in PanoTools (the

Oh *that* one. :-)

Now, this is one of those I wouldn't rate very highly. Impressive at
first glance, yes, but not much more. Interesting to see, however, how
differently such things are seen and perceived.

I love draw bridges, and that's a lovely one!

The pano's terrific, too.
