I haven't posted any pictures on TE from this place yet.
Because here are several channels, but this one has always meant a lot to me.
On my third birthday (I don't know about it) it came to the great battle between German and Canadian soldiers.
Ultimately, the Germans had to withdraw to the Netherlands.
I received a diary (copy) from a cousin of mine, beginning September 10 to October 20, where everything is described perfectly
The order:
From the headquarters of Adolf Hitler, the order came to hold out at all costs along the Leopold Canal, which was to be reinforced, which was then carried out. Reinforcements were brought in, 20mm guns, anti-tank weapons and grenade launchers were deployed, sniper pits, trenches and machine gun nests were excavated. The Wehrmacht had prepared everything to receive the rapidly approaching Canadian liberators ...
I hope you like it

Hello John!
I hope you stood on a little bridge and got no wet feet and legs. There is amazing depth and a fantastic contrast between the trees and the sky.
The reflections are perfect.
Great shot!!!

Hello John,
I was about to write that you have posted many photos from this place, but then I see it's the first one. I am surprised, because these canals lined with threes on both sides look very similar. But it doesn't matter. The effect of superb depth, perfect reflections and sharpness and immaculate composition is always quite stunning.
Best regards,
Gert

Hallo John,
Je eerste foto genomen op deze plaats. In welke gemeente exact vind je dit prachtig zicht?
Het mooie weer met wat witte wolkjes in de blauwe lucht zorgt voor een zeer helder beeld en prachtige weerspiegelingen van lucht en beide rijen bomen langs de kanaaloever.
Heel mooi hoe het grootste vlak met de lucht en zijn weerspiegeling op een punt samen komen aan de horizon.
Weerom een schitterende kanaalfoto.
Vele groeten, Paul

Sterke foto, John. Vertrouwd thema, toch een nieuwe plaats. De kleur en contrast zitten tegen de limiet aan. De persoonlijke toets in je commentaar is ook erg goed, vind ik.

Hallo John,
De herfstkleuren in de lange rijen bomen zijn prachtig, zeker in dit licht. Er is nog steeds groen te zien, maar het wordt steeds meer verdrongen door gele tinten. De spiegelingen zijn ook heel mooi zeker met het kleurcontrast met de blauwe lucht.

Hello John, thank you for the interesting notes that puts this picture into context.
You must have been delighted when you saw such perfect reflections; an amazing scene.
I like the composition where the vanishing point is off centre.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hallo John, the picture has an excellent depth as usual. The reflection of the line of trees on the canal creates a symmetrical effect. The leaves start to become yellowish. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hi John,
The reflections onthe water are aqssets to the composition. The length of the canal is creating depth and perspective. The point of view is showing the details of the trees. Have a nice day.

Hello John!
Fantastic reflections in the mirror like surface of the canal with good sharpness and wonderful repetition of the evenly spaced trees. Excellent colour, linear perspective and saturation too.

Hi John,
These canals offer amazing photo opportunities due to the reflection being so smooth and almost perfect.
Here you have fantastic colors of autumn captured in a strong warm sunlight.
The resulting geometry created a brilliant geometry, very much eye pleasing.

Hello John,
I sense how important this site is to you, not only for its beauty. The WWII battles in Belgium and the Netherlands were particularly intense and brutal. Thank goodness Hitler didn't prevail!
This really is a most beautiful, calm place!
The tree-lined canal makes an eye-catching scene. The converging lines draw us rapidly inwards, to enjoy the details of the trees and their reflections.
It is so interesting, how the trees on the left bank look deep green, whilst the sunlit right bank is a much brighter hue.
A lovely scene to share!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi John
A mirror image of the canal scene using strong converging lines to lead ones eye into the whole depth which is perfectly balanced by the verticals. Great dof, fantastic sharpness and warm colouring which is stunningly set off to the background. The shiny reflection is another strong point! Great shot
Best regards

Dag John,
De Nederlandse kunstenaar Armando zou dit een schuldig landschap noemen (een thema dat hij voor veel van zijn schilderijen gebruikte).
Alles ziet er nu prachtig en vredig uit maar het was getuigen van veel oorlogsgeweld.
Ook hier vandaag harde wind en felle buien, alleen de temperatuur is beter dan normaal.
Groet Rob

Your fingers-marks on this picture, John, a theme you show us with growing skill and each photo is even more attractive.
Fine clear photo, the mirror effect over water is immaculate.
Cheers and good afternoon,
Ike

Hello John,
It's a super classic photo , even you've not posted this place. This photo is written all over your name, John. Only you, can take this kind of amazing photo.
Yeah, it was my birthday too, when it all began on Sep 10th. It must be terrible to witness a war like that then. I would like to know more about the history - how the war unfolded and why it's meant a lot to you.
Thanks for sharing this piece of dairy you received.
