Toorenvliedt is an old mansion just ouside the town of Middelburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands, built in 1754. It's possible that the name Toorenvliedt was derived from the old-Dutch name 'Thoornvliet' that means, when literally translated from Dutch into English, 'Stream of Wrath'.

This is a very good photo C. I feel like I'm walking up to the front door and going in for a tour. Warm scene you've projected. Good post.

Drop dead gorgeous. The log shadows make a wonderful accent.

I know that you have always chosen your subjects with care, Cornelius. This old mansion is another example. A grand old building very well photographed.

Je camera registreerd schijnbaar moeiteloos die schitterende licht inval, op dit statige gebouw, omzoomd met evenzo
die 'statige'even oude bomen, waar het spel van licht en
schaduw op een magistrale wijze op de plaat is vastgelegd !
Het enige 'min' puntje is de rechterkant van het torentje
waar de contouren net even weg vallen door het zonlicht!
Maar verder niets dan lof, Cornelius!

The sunlight on the trees really brings out their color. I like the shadows, and the positioning of the building. Very nice, Cornelius.

Okay, first moment I thought, its sad that your sky is not that great, as I am used to, but the wonderful red color of the trees made me feeling good again. And the building is wonderful.

The light! Just perfect for this elegant composition. Stream of Wrath? How fascinating. Is there a stream of water nearby? Or is this a metaphor for something Biblical?
