Greetings From Holland 4 of 4

This is the 4th and last post of the small 'Greetings from Holland' series.

I've promised you to reveal the spot where I captured its images. Here it is: the images are captured in the northern outskirts of Middelburg, a town in Zeeland, The Netherlands. The spot may be rather disappointing to you as it's a new roundabout, for local traffic only. I've decided nothing to clone out in order to show you that this roundabout is still under construction. It's a common use in Zeeland (and perhaps everywhere in the Netherlands or other countries) that local roundabouts are 'decorated' with seasonal flowers and/or perennials. The tulip bulbs had been planted just after the construction of this roundabout was started. A matter of priority, lol.

I can imagine that you feel fooled by me to a certain extent. If so, I feel guilty myself of misleading you and, please accept my apologies. Hope however you will smile and have enjoyed this small series.

Thank you in advance for your comment.

Cornelius - It's a bit risky to stand in a roundabout taking photographs! The photos have been wonderful. Kudos to the community for decorating the traffic circle so beautifully. Thad

Yes Cornelius, you did fool me to quite an extent, particularly with the sloping images :) but that doesn't matter . All four images are wonderful.

I like that you left everything in this one to show us. We have some of those around these parts as well. Very nice colors you captured with the spot on exposure. ♪ ♫ :)Sandi♪ =^..^=

This just proves what a good photographer you are, Mr.C. I would have guessed that the area you were going to show us, was much larger. I do not feel fooled, but rather surprised. You are a master with a camera. Fantastic shot of the area, and I am glad you left it just the way it is.

That is so cool Cornelius. It just goes to show that preception out does reality in photography. Great work my friend. I have dearly loved this series.

You had me running in circles trying to figure out where you took the shots Sea. Glad to see I was right. Wonderful shot and series. We don't have many roundabouts in my part of the world.

Good health to you and yours.

I hope you didn't hold up the rush hour traffic taking this series of great images, Cornelius. You had me going in circles trying to figure out where you were. The roundabout is very fitting, HeHe. Great job, Take care.

I wish the roundabouts looked that beautiful here too :-) I think you have done a great job to show how you can take wonderful photos in places you didn´t think it was possible.
Excellent work!
