holiday houses

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 10 July 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Holiday houses along the waterside in Earnewâld. In Frisian there is an expression "Yn 't waar sjen" which means literally "looking into the weather". Looking into the weather, we can forecast nothing but strong wind and rain for the coming sailing trip. Which turned out to be true.

Dear Erik! Although this is late at night now here in Iran, but I couldn't wait untill tomorrow to respond your kind comments on my photos. I feel so proud to meet a kind friend like you from the beautiful Netherlands. I'm full of energy by all your kind and encouraging comments. I saw your about page too! I'm happy to say you are approximately in the same age by my father. Please feel free to come back to my blog and visit. I always appreciate your visit and comments. An excellent collection you have here. I'll come back. Waiting for upcoming photos.

@Soodabeh: It was also late when I opened your reply and was quite touched by it. I find photoblogging not only just another pastime but try to put my positive feelings in it; one way or another it shows that conflicts and negative encounters between nations that you read about in the papers are not shared by the common people like you and me, that we all have to do with only one planet we live on and that we can show each other not what separates us, but what relates us. I appreciate your response very much, and also your pictures because they show the common things that we in Europe also recognize: mothers, toys, a handicapped person, etc. As for myself I avoid showing people on the pictures because in Holland many people don't like to have their portrait on the Internet, visible for the whole world. I have put you under my favorites.

I love the angle on this one. And the colours are very crisp. Good work!

Another fantastic photo! The depth of the colours are wonderful and sense of distance is wonderful. I must come again to the Netherlands - but this time in the summer and not in the dark month of November.

Neat getaway houses! I like the perspective of this shot. Like you were walking out on the water to take the picture! :)
