I've explained it before, but for the people who may have missed this explanation, I'll repeat it again: a polder is a low-lying (below sea-level) tract of land, reclaimed from the sea, and enclosed by embankments known as dikes. Because it's reclaimed from the sea, it's flat as flat can be, lol. This image is captured in one of the polders of the peninsula South Beveland, Zeeland, the Netherlands.
Hope you'll enjoy this image. Thank you in advance for your comment.

With the natural framing this is a very good composition, deep warm colours and a real Dutch atmosphere. A wonderful photo Cornelius! Mich

I can smell the sunlight on your skin. Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make!
Wow this is an extremely difficult landscape to photograph! I remember when i went to the Norfolk Broads it was so incredibly difficult to get a decent shot of the landscape because it was so flat. I think people underestimate how the undulations in the land create interest in a picture. When you have it all the time you dont notice it, it becomes normal. However, you have taken the impossible landscape and captured it perfectly. That is one big sky and without the framing this image would look empty. I take my hat off to you my friend, this is a job very well done :D

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom i trust". Psalm 91: 1 and 2
It is a comfort scene,great quality and care in the image.

Cornelius - Very nicely framed by the two branches, with the rule of thirds applied (you followed the rules for this one - lol), and bold colors, you have posted a very fine image. Thad

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
The polder looks very fertile Sea. The sea has the power to reclaim it whenever it wants, but it sees it is being treated so well that it will let your countrymen use it. Wonderful scene.
Good health to you and yours.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
I agree with Tick, the polder looks very fertile & has been put to good use. I live in an area where I'm surrounded my many bluffs for miles & miles ... so it's a treat to see such flat land. Love how the tree branches frame the scene. The blue & green are always so delightful together. Beautiful capture, Cornelius.

A lovely sky above and bright green land below framed by the branches of trees. Very beautiful shot Cornelius.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
When we visited there, Paul taught us all about polders. Now I'm always on the look for them when I see pictures of your country. Thanks for the lesson and for the beautiful green polder.

Amazing shot Sir C. Such fertile ground to have been taken from the sea. Outstanding depth to this shot too.

Whoa! Interesting way to get back the land. I'd be afraid to live on it though. I like the framing with the trees. I'll have to put this in my polder folder. lol

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.
Kansas, a state in the U.S....is as flat as flat can be, too. Very much like your shot here. Beautifully photographed area of your country, Mr. C.
