The blooming rapeseed reflecting into the ditch in Almere. The rapeseed (Brassica napus) is an annual plant with yellow flowers that has returned to the Netherlands halfway through the twentieth century. The reclamation of the Flevopolder where we live made the crop also popular in that region due to the positive impact of the rape on the soil structure.

Looks really nice. Greetings!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSo not just a pretty flower then Marianne :) Such a pretty reflection here.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSo good when a plant is environmentally positive. The yellow reflects well on the water.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGreat reflections. All I know about rapeseed is that it's used to make cooking oils (canola).
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWe have lots of fields of rape here to make cooking oil, but it does look especially lovely reflected in the water.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA lovely view, Marianne. I know the plant is harvested here.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWe zien het hier ook veel. Mooi!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSuch a beautiful pic!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenQue maravilha e bela fotografia.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenUm abraço e bom fim de semana.
Lovely.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMillions of acres of rapeseed are grown here. there are huge plants that extract the oil from the seeds.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is a very beautiful photo. I like the way the flowers and their reflections lead my eye to the ducks which seem to be under a spotlight. :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDriving from London to Manchester today I saw fields and fields of the brilliant yellow rape seed. More and more seems to be grown these days. That's a wonderful reflection of it in the water.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe reflections are so pretty!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful, both the scene and reflection.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWe saw fields and fields of this in France. So pretty.
