And where are you in this? I can't picture what you're standing on. Puzzling. I love the view.
Picturit: When you made that remark, now I see that you think I am into the water, well I almost fell in, again, remember the picture a few days ago with the stairs, it is possible to go down the stairs and than there is a kind of second footway, in a few days I have a post that shows, so I was on that footway looking under the bridge to the other end, I am glad you like it, Astrid

This is the Oude Gracht in Utrecht still, Astrid, as you and I both know. And for Ruth, I can still see you standing on that "wharf" area at the bottom of the stairs that went down to the water's edge. I knew you had gotten a lovely shot, and so you did! Now I see it! Finally. smile I LOVE how you have captured the feel of this far end!
Picturit: Yes, you were down there too and I walked next to that boat, you know I am always kind of curious what is 'hidden behind things'.....this....glad you like it..Astrid

There is light in the darkness, Astrid.
Picturit: You know me Kathryn, I do believe in your words, some times we have to try hard to see the light, but it will come, I am sure...Astrid

A lovely atmospheric view -and with some phantasy I could imagine to be in Venice( but I know there are some grachtentours like in Venice, for example in 's Hertogenbosch last year! Wonderful!) Bijzonder mooi vind ik het contrast van de kleuren, de onderscheiden bogen bij de gebouwen, de spiegelingen en de zachte rimpelingen van het water"! Oh,zo'n mooi oud stadje, ik zou graag eens een bezoek willen doen aan Utrecht!
Picturit: Utrecht is een bijzonder mooie stad met een heleboel mooie gebouwen, als je ooit het plan hebt om te komen, laat het me weten, ik weet een klein beetje de weg, maar ik weet wel een gezellige 'stamkroeg' waar we lekker kunnen lunchen wink, Astrid.

I like how there looks to be two people on the top talking and you even got some bikes in there as well.
Nice work with light and dark.smile
Picturit: I found my glasses again and I cleaned them, that helped a lot grin,now that you mention it, you do see more in the picture than I did, I was just paying attention NOT to fall in the gracht (canal) LOL have a nice weekend....smile Astrid.
