These files look nice and the compositions are spot on.
Ben, inspiring, knowing I'm the Rookie, and you're one of the many Pros on our forum.
Often-times a person may post some otherwise nice look images, however, they were lacking in compositional skills. Colors look nice
Nice Colors, not my doing; can't take credit
Credit Samsung's NX1's 28.2MP BSI APS-C CMOS sensor
Credit I will accept: after 6 intensive (enjoyable) months of researching/trying different gear, I picked the Samsung NX1
[instead of the established incumbent MICL at the time of my purchase (my opinion), Panasonic's GH4.]

Literally 6 months of intensive fun research: purchasing Canon, Nikon, Sony, Gear (from big box stores), using each for 1 month (knowing I could return free of cost.) while throughout closely monitoring Samsung's NX1; many firmware updates, Samsung's public prototype Pro 300mm S f/2.8, NX500 body release.
Ordered the above, received, assembled, used intensively, never returned it. Loved all aspects of its many ergonomics, simple cell phone touch screen interface, all its paper specifications were real, perfect for my uses-cases, and very aware no one gear is the best in every aspect of Photography / Videography, but the NX1 above was perfect for me.
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.
