Everywhere people with camera's find their way in this world to make their shots. I like the art of taking realistic pictures, because it provides a way to show how I experience this world. It is a way for other people to look through my eyes.Nature ... exists primarily for her face, her look, her appeals to the heart and the imaginationGeorge MacDonaldJan-Carel Vierbergen

Since my childhood I'm used to walk with father, brothers, cousins, etc., and take pictures (Minolta X-700 with 28-70 mm and 100-300 mm zoom) of what I see. I grew up in Ede (The Netherlands), studied Electrical Engineering in Eindhoven and I am working now as Coordinator e-learning at the Christelijke Hogeschool Ede (http://www.che.nl) where I implement digital assessments for students and assist students in DTP and creating websites.
Since I know little about photographing as well as computer science it was not difficult to find ways for putting images on the web. The only thing to look for now is to find ways for showing the slides in a convenient way. I tried already something at http://www.che.nl/users/jcv (Dutch only, click at Dia's van de natuur in Nederland en de Alpen), but this platform provides good means to share my pictures with others.
I hope you enjoy this!

That place was in one of my dreams. Genial compo and great find. Thanks.

Excellent shot...great composition...well done

I believe this is a great scene, but a little bit of oversaturated colours would not bother anyone - I say that because the scene seems without life...My opinion, of course! By the way : around the corner I guess we find a beautiful perspective from a super landscape!
soulprojector
excellent rolling hill scene. loving the understated colour.... great!
logiloglu

@Mikan: Sometimes colors are different as we want them. The picture was somewhat bluish caused by the humid air (the distance was several kilometers). I've tried to correct that.
Aesthetics or Realism? It confuses me what to give precedence. What do you think?

In a hole lived a hobbit...

I love the two lonely trees on the hilltop the most...
addiek
For my money the shot stands well by itself on the basis of the 2 great trees on the hill. What do I want to see coming round the corner?... (a) an ice cream truck (b) A gigantic dinosaur (c) both a & b

I would like to see me coming around the corner!!!excellent landscape!!!

Behind this surreal hill a vast landscape!?

Beautiful landscape with the house nestled in the hollow. I don't know where this road will go, but hope you will take us there with your camera.

Beautiful elements plus wonderful balance~

This photo makes me want to break into song..."Over the hills and through the woods, to grandmother's house we go..."

A good question !!! The mount on the right with the two trees make me think at the Teletubbies shot. Exactly the same pattern. A great shot dear friend !
danob
Its a wonderful landscape and the sky is bland but it is this very thing that brings out the details like those two trees.. I would be looking for the first Tee myself lol!!

Love to read all your reactions! Imagination, that's absolutely abundant on RR. I think imagination is essential for taking original pictures.
The landscape around the corner is a vast landscape of hills, the so called Swiss 'Mittelland', a large stroke of hills between the Alps and the Swiss plateau.

A very soft and pretty picture. What do I think I will see around the corner. Well I think a pond or a body of water of some sort with lots of beautiful tree's and maybe a very pretty home to go along with it.

We already talked about that JCV. Using a skylight-filter, desaturating blue after shooting via Potatoshop .. that doesn't matter in this one, being the real thing to me. The sky is a little to white and there's some gray over all ... yep, the distance. Sad ... perhaps re-shooting this one in the early morning is an option?

Those two trees on the hill caught my eyes. A wonderful compo!
idiot_sphinx
A lovely shot and so much to imagin around the corner! Wonderschoon foto :D
bleachfix
I'll foot race anyone to the trees at the top of that hill to find out (lol)
aangus
Funny funny funny picture. The distant POV gives a curious unreal feel to the grass and trees and has a weird effect on the scale (made even weirder by those trees on the hill top). I expect Tinkywinkey and Po will be round soon for some Tubby toast!!!
Deane
Thanks for your kind comments. Good framing and composition. Perspective compression works very well, and the two trees really catch the eye. Great shot!
TwoPynts
Almost perfect shot, very surreal. The only gripe--and it is a minor one--is that white grainyness. Maybe it was from sharpening the image? Other than that, WOW! "Over the hill and throught the woods to Grandmother's house we go..."
Syncopate
Wow, beautiful! Looks so serene and peaceful.
sjanos
I like this one!
