Today I've started a new series, called 'Zeeland Folkore'. This series, consisting of various images, will show you some traditional customs still in use (and cherised) by Zeeland people. This image shows a little boy wearing traditional farmer clothes and wooden shoes and it's taken on the occasion of a yearly gig ride. He's waiting for the gig to come as he will take place at the backseat of the gig while his parents (in traditional clothes as well) are sitting at the front seat. Hope you'll enjoy this series. Cornelius

Hans Brinker! One of my favorite stories as a child. A fine shot.

I hope he has strong fingers, as he reminds me of the pictures I saw as a child in books of the boy who saved everyone by sticking his thumb into the dike...great shot, and this looks like it's going to be a wonderful series...hanging on to my hat as we go off on this ride, my friend :)

Cornelius, I'm really looking forward to this series you're putting together. This little one is really beautiful, I hope he doesn't mind me saying that..... Looking forward to more! ~Mary~

I am probably afraid that some spectator will not understand my photography - therefore I proceed to make it really less understandable by writing defensibly about it. Ansel Adams

He is so very cute! I think I would have cropped the person's toes out of the top of the photo, but otherwise, it is an excellent capture. I look forward to learning more about your Zeeland ways.

Such a great idea for a series and a very good and cute shot. I fear, this guy will soon start to cry. Smile

A sweet portrait Cornelius - he looks a bit apprehensive! He just reminds me of my son when he was little! I love the costume and look forward to this series of photos!

What a handsome lil guy, and DigiCamMan is right - he does resemble Hans Brinker! His out fit and wooden shoes are looking good. This should be a wonderful series. Terrific idea Cornelius :^>
