National weather man with my picture
Kaprijke 20km of Ghent against the Netherlands borders
Hof Ter Kruisen, Kaprijke
The Renaissance castle Hof ter Kruisen in Kaprijke dates from the mid-sixteenth century. Presumably it was built as a mansion. This is a sort of country retreat for wealthy city dwellers, who leased the farm but reserved certain parts for themselves. The walled castle is made of brick and natural stone. Until the middle of the seventeenth century it was well in the hands of the Baviθres, an important family whose members sat in the then supreme court, namely the Council of Flanders. The castle was protected in 1955.
I hope you like it.

Hello John,
Good use od a shallow dof here with excellent sharpness on the red brick mansion. Good colour and saturation. The trees and branches frame the castle mansion well. Tfs!

Het kasteel lijkt zich te verschuilen in het groen, alsof er geheime dingen gebeuren die het zonlicht schuwen...
Een heel mooie foto, John.
Proficiat & groetjes

Hello John,
It must have been a proud moment to have your photo shown with the weather forecast. I have been interviewed on national TV news, but I haven't shown my photos there. ;-)
In the main picture today you make us all feel like we were spying on the owners of this big, fine building. Looking at it from between the branches, at some distance, makes us feel very uninvited. But the branches create an interesting atmosphere.
Best regards,
Gert

Hallo John,
In Nederland worden er ook altijd weerfoto's van kijkers vertoond tijdens het weerbericht. Ook deze foto had best vertoond kunnen worden om te laten zien dat er tussen alle buien van de afgelopen dagen toch ook wel wat zonneschijn was. Een mooie foto van dit statige huis, mooi gezien door alle veelal nog groene bladeren.

Hi John
Great idea for a composition where we can see the building through many layers of foliage in different focus. The grass is so green it's almost difficult to believe it's November.
Interesting to see the weather man!
Best wishes

Hello John,
Interesting view, the yard definitely shows signs of neglect. 👍🏻 I am not too sure about the blurry leaves on the right.

Bonjour John,
Cela aurait pu κtre beaucoup mieux sans la feuille qui bouge au vent hors focus ΰ l'avant plan. Par contre elle donne d'avantage de profondeur ΰ l'ensemble.

Hello John,
It's good to see that you are still able to get out and take photographs. It must be very satisfying despite the problems with your hand.
This photograph immediately reminds me the fairy story, 'Sleeping Beauty', where the castle slowly begins to disappear behind years of wilderness growth! And here we are, secretly peeping through the greenery, to catch details of the building!
How proud you must have been to have your photograph shown on national tv.
It looks like a stunning photograph.
Maybe they will commision you for other shots!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello John, I feel as if we are spying on this grand house, looking through the leaves , almost as if we have just discovered it.
A different type of picture from you today, I like it.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hallo John, you visited that castle with a star in Belgium! I can guess the brick building behind the thick vegetation. The garden has dense trees. Fine colors, good image quality, instructive photo note, regards.

Hi John
Like the framing with tree branches and leaves all guiding the eye to the classic castle vitalised by the autumn colour and sublime light. Patches of green and long shadows are another fine elements well collaborated together. Lovely detail throughout with superb clarity, Congrats
Best regards
