Ha Ha

You describe this scene like its something you would see everywhere, Astrid.

I suppose that's true if you live in one country.
Picturit: I have to admit that I never get tired of this view and I pass it 5 times a week on a workday..... and still admire the beauty.
Astrid.
Beautiful composition Astrid... good Boat Friday!....petersmile
Picturit: Thank you Peter, it is 'around' the corner from where we live. Never get tired of this view.
Astrid.
I love your image - I love these old windmills, and the old boats as well!
Picturit: Thank you, Elizabeth. This is at 5 minutes walk from where we live and I pass it 5 times a week, on workdays.
I never get tired of this view.

Ik vermoud dat we nu weer in Lief- Nederland zijn -en fijne compositie! It looks so typically Dutch or Hollands!
Picturit: It is one of the 4 windmills we have in Gorinchem. This one is the closest by.
I pass this one coming home from work.

This is very colourful and very Dutch too Astrid. Can I have a ride in your boat?
Picturit: No problem (I think). This is the windmill close to where we live. We will show you on our walk around the citadel. There are 4 windmills in Gorinchem.
I pass this one on my way home from work.

Such a deeply colourful scene, Astrid - you must see it in all its moods, passing it so frequently
Picturit: Every day is different. I love the time that I have sunrise at 6.15A. The sun is behind the windmill, when I enter the parking garage. When I come home, at late shift, there will be the sunset. The windmill is lit up by floodlights. It is an ever changing scene and I love it.
Astrid.
The windmill looks as if it needed some emergency saving.I was looking on the building for your name, in a panic, but then found it on a Friday boat.
Picturit: smile You will see this with your own eyes soon. I cannot promise that my boat is still there, maybe the new owner will 're-name' it wink

I like very much. Particularly as you have this oriented portrait style. Have a good weekend smile
Picturit: Thank you so much. In summer the trees are kind of 'in the way'. So that is why I did the portrait style.
Have a good weekend, yourself, too smile
Astrid.
Wow, this is a beautiful Astrid! I love to see windmills......and boats, together is a real bonus! smile
Picturit: We are so lucky that we have both. We have 4 windmills in our city and we are surrounded by water. There are always boats to see.
I never bores me.
Astrid.
Wow, Astrid, you actually get to see this lovely scene every day. How fortunate you are!
Picturit: I know Beverly, and I don't take it for granted. I enjoy the view, over and over again.
Astrid.
Can't wait to see my first windmill!
Picturit: We will walk up there, it is only 5 minutes from our 'back door' smile
Astrid.
Astrid !
Beautiful photo!

Astrid.
Looks like the good ship Astrid is about to be rained on...
Picturit: It has been in many storms and it rains right now too sad

Een prachtig hollands beeld. Een hele mooie compositie.
En weer iets dat Astrid heet erop. Hoe krijg je het voor elkaar ;-)
Picturit: Gorinchem is een mooie stad met mooie dingen. wink Ja gek hè, altijd als ik iets wil fotograferen, komt er wel een 'Astrid' voorbij.

I'm not sure which I love more - the windmill or the color boats. What a perfectly 'dutch' scene. Love it!!!
Picturit: We are so lucky to have both, at walking distance. Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

Great composition!
Picturit: I am still in the process of doing HDR, which is very difficult. This windmill is near our apartment.
