Photographer's Note

The river Maas just a week before the intense rainfall that forced the river to overflow leading to very dramatic consequences.

Hello Elaine,
While the river still looked idyllic. The reeds and trees in the foreground connect well with those across the water, where the clouds are nicely reflected. As usual a well balanced composition.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Elaine!

Really idyllic, and to my humble eyes: very Dutch.
I wonder how this place may look now. For the German part of the catastrophe see my account.
It's a big mess.

Regards
Sven

Hello Elaine!
Nice shot of the river, it seems quite calm here.
I know the Netherlands has solved the drainage and utilization of low-lying areas in the last centuries (with a lot of work).
Unfortunately, the situation is not encouraging, the survival of your country is highly questionable. Not because of you, but because of global warming, which we humans can do a lot about.
I'm not too optimistic.
Let's see how long ...

Best regards:

Csaba

Hello Elaine,
Well managed to allocate the picture space from the foreground vegetation and the tree on side, across the water to the row of trees and gray sky aloft.
The flat land as we see here would be vulnerable when the flood hit the place.
Good afternoon,
Ike

hello Elaine,
I have read and saw on TV about the tragic floods in Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. The climate changes are dramatic - we experience extreme situations - droughts, strong winds, floods. People lose life or everything they have. It is tragic and sad. I wonder what is the situation in Liege and Maastricht.
Here the clouds are a bit threatening but the river looks idyllic.
Best regards MAlgo

Hallo Elaine,
Het ziet er hier nog zo vredig uit, moeilijk voor te stellen dat het een week later zo mis ging. De compositie is mooi met de boom en het riet op de voorgrond.
