Countryside

Driving home through the Flevopolder is very relaxing. It is one of the rare highways we have without much traffic. As SC drives I always try to make some pictures through the front window. You always have wide views and amazing skies to watch. Here we are driving along the IJssel-lake.

The wind turbines are everywhere in endless lines, in this flat countryside the wind always blows.

We haven't had much rain lately so the tulipfields are sprayed by the farmers. The sky looked like rain but it didn't came out.

  1. Splendid photos taken of a dull day. The clouds in the background add so much to the scene.

  2. I am surprised that such a powerful spray of water wouldn't damage the flowers. maybe in this field they are just marketing the bulb?

  5. Ja heerlkijk als je eens een rustige weg tegen komt. Hier in het westen wordt het steeds drukker en hele muren van vrachtwagens doen er geen goed aan.

  7. You can just see that line of vivid colour in the last photo. I wish I could just go and have a closer look at the tulips there.

  8. It is funny to realize that 60 years ago your pictures wouldn't have been possible. The Flevopolder wasn't there yet at the time...

  9. Dearest Marianne,
    Typical low Dutch skies indeed. Looking pregnant with rain but no shower; you were lucky. That climate makes for superior gardens; quite contrary to our climate here. Enjoy your spring time and thanks for sharing the Polder landscape.
    Hugs,
    Mariette
