Captured this Zeeland farmer's wife in traditional clothes in Middelburg, Zeeland, the Netherlands. Of course she's wearing these clothes only at special (folklore/traditional) events. The image shows that she takes care for her horse during a break in the yearly 'ringrijden' competition in Middelburg.

By checking-out this LINK you can read more about these events.

Hope you like this image. Thank you in advance for your comments.

I love the crocheted shawl she is wearing. I see the other two ladies have one as well. I remember my grandmother crocheting and she made many beautiful ones with intricate patterns.
Beautiful shot of the girl and her love for the horse is obvious. I bet she is a kind individual.
Good post C.
Good health to you and yours.

Such pretty garments. I love white croceted items. I like the bridle of the horse also. What a fine people shot. I love this,Cornelius. Too bad they don't dress this way today all the time.

It looks like an enjoyable event, Cornelius. I like the traditional clothing the people are wearing, The horse and the brick building in the background in this fine image. Great post and thanks for the link. Take care.

A very fine photo Cornelius. I like the vertical orientation. It frames your subject well and works with the background architecture perfectly. The sun was a bit bright in spots but the shade worked much to your advantage as did the flash. Well done!
