These files look nice and the compositions are spot on. Often-times a person may post some otherwise nice look images, however, they were lacking in compositional skills. Colors look nice and am glad to see you posting more photos taken with Samsung cameras here (to keep this forum going). That's a nice story also about Holland.

My Dad was briefly in Holland during WW II with a Panzer division before being transferred to the newly formed Afrika Korps under Field Marshall Erwin Rommel. He loved Holland from what he saw - the people, the beauty, and the culture. He hated the war, but what could you do but serve under the Nazi regime (as if you had a choice).

In fact, here's a photo of my Father in his black Panzer uniform around 1940 or so as a young enlisted man - an NCO. According to him, it was shortly after this photo was taken that he was reassigned to the Deutsche Afrika Korps under Rommel. In this photo are his Mother and Sister.

Very interesting to hear from the "other" side of the war. There are no winners.

The Netherlands is probably the best place to live in Europe, there is some rising of far right nationalism there too, but in general is a great society with very harsh humor! The scenery is amazing and I buy most of my specialized equipment from there as they are excellent traders and responsible professionals. Even 1 NX1 and my 16-50S was bought from shops there.

I was ready to go there for a Masters degree before I met my wife and started a family here in the south of Europe, or else I would be a Dutch citizen right now!

Thanks for sharing.
