The Belgian pilot vessel Jan Breydel is leaving the Merchant Harbour in Flushing, Zeeland, The Netherlands, this time to bring pilots onboard sea going vessels. The sea going vessels mostly will make or have made a port call to the international port of Antwerp (Belgium). This work is done in good cooperation with Dutch pilots and goes on 7 days a week and 24 hours a day even in foul weather conditions.

Super action shot with every little thing in sharp relief...great colors and a well-written, concise narrative to top off the whole mix.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon

Now that's a frame!! Good one Cornelius. I truly liked the narrative, added something to photo which didn't really need anything. Love the angle with the buildings in back and all that red. Just a really good photo.

I always love your shots with the water spray from the moving boats. The colors are so rich and deep and everything is so clear and I like being able to see the men in the cabin. Thanks, Cornelius for the explanation as well.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Perfect plaatje van de Jan Breydel.Het opspattende water voor en achteraan geven een zekere dynamiek aan de foto.Knap gedaan Cornelius.

I love the way you frame everything. This is a great shot. The buildings in the background with their red roofs really give the shot a lot of color. Very nice, Cornelius.

Ik zie weer een 'bekende' zeerover uit het raam v/h Arsenaal hangen, Cornelius!
Maar dat is maar een detail van deze foto
Zie toch liever de Nederlandse Pilot boten, deze ziet er minder
gestroomlijnd uit, en daardoor lijkt het ook alsof het minder
snel is!

It is difficult for me to say, if I like the boat more, or the background. All together looks so good. I hope you understand, that I will not do a rating.

My dear friends! I hope you forgive me for not commenting and answering that much recently. Thats because of the weather situation here, that takes all my energy. I promise to do better as soon as there will be more sun again. Smile
