On 24th September we went for an autumn walk in the polders. A polder is a piece of land surrounded by dikes and kept dry by an electric engine, which pumps the water into a canal, and then into the river. In former times, when we had no electricity, the windmills did this job. Don't forget that this country is for a large part lying below sea level.But it has a certain beauty especially when the weather is fine like it was then.

What a pretty place! Gorgeous skies and the reflections are beautiful. Fantastic photos! Happy skywatching!
Your reflections are always so wonderful. I have yet to capture one.
Interesting about the polders. The Dutch had to be great engineers to thrive below sea level.
Ons mooie landje :-)
Schitterende reflecties !!!
You captured extremely beautiful reflections of the trees in the canal!
Wonderful skies and reflected willows Wil. Your country is so beautiful with it's canals and waterways.
That looks very much like the flemish part of Belgium !
So very pretty and peaceful looking!
Thanks for the explanation of 'polders'. But I want to thank you even more for these magnificent pictures. I really like your first photo, and the trees and their reflections in the last photo are marvelous.
Prachtige spiegelingen!

These captured remind me of Flemish paintings - something tranquil and peaceful about them!
Enjoy your week-end Will. xx
That first photo made me want to relax in a rowboat with a sandwich.
Beautiful water scene!
That takes me back...
Very pretty scenes.

Hi there - great pictures - all that water must make your country a bit of a wonderland for reflections.
Cheers - Stewart M - Australia.
PS: nice pictures of 'roos in the earlier post!
Beautiful pictures. I hadn't heard the word polder since I was a child. I love it.
Very nice photos.
Reflections in the water are great.
Regards and best wishes
that looks like a wonderful walk to take! Your photos are wonderful.
This all looks so lovely. You could probably get some (other) great reflections without threat of waves disturbing.
That is a very peaceful place, Wil... The reflections are just perfect.
Love your new header, Wil! Have a great weekend!
The landscape of this place is beautiful! Looks very peaceful and quite. And the trees along the canal is awesome love that.

such great reflections, are the polders muddy?
What an awesome set of shots! Such tranquility and sharpness of reflections. Congratulations Wil
Beautiful reflections, Wil. The second photo is also rather fun.
Mara's part of your country is reclaimed land. She says she lives at the bottom of the sea.
Mara and I sure had a great time exploring a bit of Alberta with my dog, and we talked about you and my visit with you at the windmills earlier this year.
