Middelburg, a small town in Zeeland, The Netherlands, has a lot of canals. Streets on both sides of the canals are connected to each other by means of small (mostly pedestrian) bridges. It's a common use in The Netherlans to give a bridge a name. This bridge is called the 'Spijkerbrug' ('spijker' in Dutch is 'nail' in English), built in 1853, and therefore it's one of the oldest bridges there. Hope you'll enjoy this image.

A beautiful scene, Cornelius - I particularly find the blue and white combination here striking. The houses and the boats dominate the picture and so the "Nail Bridge" loses its importance somewhat. Very well captured, like all your other photos.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Excellent composition, wonderful contrast and reflections. I hope you do a shot of that bridge in the background sometime in the future.

You're just so darned good C. Love the angle, colors and especially all the intersecting lines in the reflections. What a beautiful country you live in and your pride for it is evident. I always look forward to your photos.

The blues and the orange really stand out here, Cornelius. I love the reflections on the still water. I love pictures with bridges in them, and this is no exception. Great shot.

I always enjoy the canals and the wonderful houses on either side. The colors are so vivid here and the clarity, especially in the water, is so good.
