WOW this is a stunning scene with those beautiful clouds, reflections in the puddles and the leading line of the road!! Having lived in the Netherlands for three years, I cannot tell the difference with that beautiful windmill. Well the only difference would be a brick road instead of paved. Terrific shot, Nadya!!! #7633412

WOW! WEE! Nadya this is a perfect shot, love the clouds, I thought maybe you had went off to Holland. I was in Holland, if you said that was a canal I would have not known the difference. Well done. #7633625
