Lopik

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 9 May 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

Broadcast mast near the village of Lopik, on the river Lek (a delta arm of the Rhine - in the Netherlands the Rhine is called "Waal" and "Lek"). Shot from the highway bridge from the car (I wasn't driving). I like this picture not because of its photographic qualities, but because of the color of the light and atmosphere: a not so bright day with a cloudless sky and fully shining sun; in our country these days are only bright when there is a strong wind. This is expressed well in this picture, which I had to brighten up a bit by increasing the contrast and sharpening the village a little. We were on our way to my parents-in-law, where we had a delicious bicycle ride at the Kinderdijk (mills!), so "keep watching" :)
