In some previous posts of this series I've told and showed you that the provincial government of the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands, a couple of years ago, decided to pay Zeeland farmers some subsidy for sowing flowers-seeds along the borders of their fields. Therefore a lot of fields in Zeeland are surrounded still by flowers, making Zeeland even more attractive to tourists than it already was. Think that this image gives a good view of this phenomenon, as it's taken from a somewhat heightened position. This image was captured on September 14th, 2009.

Hope you like this post. Thank you in advance for your comment.

PS: in my title I've mentioned them wildflowers because they grow in open fields, but on close examination this is not correct because this kind of flowers can be found in gardens as well.

We have a lot of the same type of wild flowers here as well Sea. This sure makes a great scene. I like the diagonal of the road. The road doesn't look too wide. Another beautiful representation of your country. The mixture of colors throughout is wonderful.
Good health to you and yours.

The government made a good choice with this marvelous idea. Really is very pleasing for the eye, and once again Mr. C. Your composition is perfect. You picked up the textures of the dirt as well as the loveliness of the roadside view. A most pleasing image my friend. ♪ ♫ :)sandi♪ =^..^=

It's really great the government decided to help the farmers out and it does make a field look fabulous with all those wonderful flowers and colours. That would be a fabulous drive Cornelius

What a lovely idea to brighten up what could be drab lanes and roads. I wish our roads over here looked at colourful. Nice presentation you have here Cornelius. Well done!

Inspired comp! Vibrant vivid colors. Is that a road or walkway? I would love to visit your area. Of course the skies and trees capture my attention.

Yes, I do remember you telling us about them being paid to plant the flowers. I think it's a wonderful idea and here's proof. I love the lines in this shot, Cornelius and the repetitive trees in the tree line as well as the lovely roadside flowers. So pretty.

Not only does this planting of flowers make the landscape beautiful but also it must attract honey bees and birds? The government of your country seems wise and beneficent.
