This is a view from my Mother's house boat in Holland.
We had a glass of wine on her terrace while the sun was setting.
The sky was so clear that it seemed the planes were painting onto the sky!
While the sun is setting, every 5 minutes the sky looks different.
I love this typically Dutch and breathtaking skyline with the calm water, willow trees, farms and windmill.
--Guess what I'm doing right now...? Yes, indeed, painting this sight!-- _________________________________

When I look at this landscape I let's me think of the sky in Heemskerk. Impressing because of the plains wich leave there marks shadowing into the lakeMiro Gabriele 10 Mar 2009
