Zeeland Farmhouses 01

Today I've started a new series called 'Zeeland Farmhouses'. It's my purpose to show you some different aspects of/around farmhouses in the Zeeland Countryside. This image is taken in the spring of this year in a polder at the South Beveland peninsula, Zeeland, The Netherlands. As you can see, my primary attention was not caught by the farmhouse itself, but by the 'Japanese cherry' tree in its front yard. Hope you'll enjoy this series. PS: 'Owd Fellow' Tick gave, in his comment on one of my previous images, a good explanation for 'polder'. For people who missed this explanation, I will repeat it: A polder is a low-lying (mostly below sea-level) tract of land, reclaimed from the sea, and enclosed by embankments known as dikes.

That is one beautiful tree C. I like the title and a hint of the farmhouse. This scene looks like it could be in my part of the world. Landscaping is great. Your country shots shows the pride of the people in how they care for their land and buildings. The frame really draws out the colors of the tree perfectly. Great post. Faved.

I love that wonderful tree, its size and all those flowers. Great. Not so much to say about the farm house, Smile, but that tree is that hudge.

A lovely cherry tree in full bloom on a beautiful landscape. The farmhouse is partly obscured but the tree makes up for that. Very good image, Cornelius.

Wat moet ik hier nog aan toevoegen, Cornelius!?, behalve
dan dat zoals je zelf ook zegt, dat de boerderij op
de 2e plaats komt!
Maar dat neemt niets weg van het feit, dat dit
een schitterende mooie opname is geworden!

What an amazing sight this tree makes Cornelius. The people who live in the little farmhouse must spend a long time admiring it. Lovely capture and excellent framing!

What a gorgeous tree. Beautiful shot, Cornelius. A polarizer might have been nice on this one, to bring out the blues in the sky.

Interested to browse your series, (~8

I would not have put a frame on this image as the tree should be the only focal point and the frame detracts from a truly lovely tree
