'Tall John' In The Fall

The by the trees almost hidden steeple with the nickname 'Tall John' was captured by me in a Middelburg, Zeeland,The Netherlands, public park in the Fall.

Edit: referring to Milka's comment below, I'll provide you with some information about this steeple (only available in the Dutch language however).

The steeple got from the Middelburg citizens the nickname 'Lange Jan'. When translated into the English language it reads: 'Tall John' or 'Long John' because of its length in relation to the construction possibilties in the era in which it was built.

I don't know about Tall John, but I love the fall in this beautiful park. Great capture, Cornelius.

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

Thanks a lot for the explanation about Tall John, Cornelius. My comment was more about the beautiful park that I can see very good, and only a small part of the tower. I hope I didn't offend you, it wasn't my intention. Now I could see the whole building, it's beautiful and impressive, here the language is not important. Thank you.

I couldn't help but think of Jimmy Dean's classic song Big Bad John when I read this SEA.
John sure towers over this scene of beauty.
Great post.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
