Patiently (?) waiting till the sluice gate opens. Captured in the locks of Veere, Zeeland, The Neterlands. Hope you'll enjoy this image and thanks in advance for any comment.

A very nice image Cornelius! Only seafarers who have often waited so long in front of and in the Antwerp locks at 2 A.M. can truly understand what you mean :)

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life.
Wonderful primary colors throughout, Cornelius. I love the canal. I really like the shot.

Let's hope everybody keeps calm and don't resort to "Boat-Rage"!! Great image.

You are neither taxed nor fined if you look at My Gallery.
A great image with good colours and detail.
Well done

With the proper camera and software anything can be beautiful
Great post C. So colorful and I didn't realize there were traffic jams on the water. Is there no place left to keep from waiting?

Great shot indeed. Beautiful colors and overall scene. Looks like a grand day for boating!

“Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you”

Reading the comments above, think some extra information is wellcome.
The boats are coming from the 'Channel through Walcheren' and like to sail to the 'Lake of Veere'. The waterlevels in the channel and the lake aren't equal because of tidal influences. Therefore the boats have to pass the locks of Veere. At the back side of the boats (not to be seen) and in front of the boats there's a sluice gate. The backside sluice gate is opened and the front one is closed when the boats are sailing into the sluice. Once in the sluice, the back door is closed as well and the water level is brought to the same height as the Lake of Veere. When this is done the front gate can be opened and the boats will continue their way. This process is rather time consuming, so the yachtsmen need to have at least 'some' patience. Realise that the boats during this process have to be moored with slipping hawsers instead of being moored with hawsers of a fixed lenght. This can be seen on the image as well.

The colors in this shot really stand out. You don't see orange roofs over here, like the one on the left. I like that yellow boat, too. Very nice, Cornelius.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
Very colorful. Barely enough room left for a rowboat. Great capture.

Ask your Congressmen and Senators why our existing wells aren't pumping more than 3 days a month? There a lot of unused capacity in existing wells.
love the colours , they are all crammed in there! they almost look as if they are floating on nothing here. nice work.

Thanks for the extra info. It helped to make this whole scene more understandable to me.
Everyone has remarked on the wonderful "primary" colors you've captured here, and for good reason. They are excellent and give us a great view of these ppl earing their keep!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Man, those are some nice boats. I'll take any of them. Great shot and beautiful color.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
