corn flowers

@HorseRotorVator: I love it, indeed. I came here for settlement 15 years ago, and I saw around me the illustrations from "Ot and Sien" a series of childrens' book from my childhood. It seemed as if time had been frozen for 75 years: the houses, the pastures, etc. The only thing is that it is flat everywhere, no hills. Sometimes you find yourself in a kind of green prairy-landscape, other times amidst small fields cut by oaktree-lanes, or on a lake (many Germans come here to sail). I could fill a whole paper about this part of the Netherlands, maybe I'll do so on my textblog (http://questionsoftoday.blogspot.com).

@miu*: Thanks miu*, especially about the remark of "sacred"! I didn't see it yet that way but now I do!

@miu*: Thank you miu*. Funny that we accept fields wit a yellow haze from yellow flowers as normal, even red from poppies, but blue we find very special, it has something mysterious I think, just like lapis lazuli.
