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!

you are right, very common here, in scandinavian part and i love those birches groves! and youve captured this grove perfectly!! light from backside gives kind of magical touch... excellent!

Very nice, good idea. The trees are a bit to sharp and so the picture looks a bit too uneasy and "moving", but this is not disturbing and looks like as it is meant.

never saw trees like this before. this reminds me of some painting i studied in an art class in college. no idea what piece or what artist. just can't remember. this is very unusual forest. i see there are still many green leaves. i am getting associations when i look at this, but they're no clear. it's an excellent foto!

Excellent shot! I love birches! These all lined up remind me of the Sound of Music for some reason. :-)

Very impressive shot. I love the way the trees are spaced. Extraordinary picture! Have you tried a little bit of gaussian blur?

Look at it once again mate...... they all seem to join hands........... and stop your way.??

Nice one. I first remember birches in my grandmother's garden, mixed with rowan trees. They were much older, more mature, and not as vertical. In nature, in the Clyde Valley, of Scotland, many birches are found surrounded by bluebell flowers in the spring.

Did you know that fractals are not born in mathematicians minds? This concept is an attempt to explain some aspects of nature. This image is the proof that fractals were there, a long time before computers rule the world!...Great shot.
