This image was taken yesterday (February 15th, 2017) in the sand dunes near the town of Flushing, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

I suppose that this elderly couple may have thought that the perfect, spring-like, weather was a good opportunity for a bike ride.

See by the expression on the face of the lady, that such a ride was pretty tiring.

The advantage of this 'disadvantage' however is that her physical condition was improved a tad now (☺).

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Thanks for the above comment, Richie. You're right, because I know perfectly, by own experience (biking in foreign countries in mountainous areas in the past), what's a real steep ride, but for elderly people, like this couple, it's a relatively steep and tiring ride.

The peaceful area with the sun shining on the brown bushes and the couple on their bikes make this a very nice shot Cornelius.

By the looks of the clothes they on, it looks a bit chilly. But, what a beautiful day to be outside..

I don't like bikes, but in a place like this, I'd make an exception. LOL Nice shot, Cornelius.

They must be in pretty good shape even to start out on that ride I'd say. Nice capture though.

Holland, steep?? At least they don't have to worry about this when pedling along.

Seems they are almost near the top of their 'steep' ride :) It seems to me of course that they are in great danger - being on the 'wrong' side of the road to my eyes, because we of course ride on the left side which is the right side here lol

You have captured the essence of a lovely sunny winter day with two people obviously enjoying themselves - nice work as always Cornelius.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
