The Photo Thread !

[Lykia]

Hello guys,

Welcome to the Photo Thread !

In this thread you can post Photos from your vacations or other photos you took somewhere, it doesn't matter when or where it is, you can post every picture you took and find nice !

So I begin with a photo taken in Spain last Month, with my Galaxy S10:

For sure! Honestly, I still want to visit the UK sometime in the future. With the last picture you can probably guess the country haha (I rarely make photo's of windmills because they are plenty here when you leave the city).

I'm really impressed how well the pictures turned out, making a photo against the sun is quite technically challenging! I'm quite sure that budget camera's could not do that.

I also recently bought an electric bicycle (And believe me, I went all out with it ) that will arrive today so soon I can travel some longer distances and enjoy the nature!

Don't forget to send us your photos, @SjorsK!

My new Electric Bicycle. For those interested in the model:

Gazelle Ultimate C8+ HMB (2020)

I got it for some longer distances   It was really stormy that day so I got no beautiful pictures but it was an awesome experience. 

Today however I cycled to earthquake central (Slochteren). It was still quite stormy but I think I got a few nice pictures  

Entering earthquake central!Leaving earthquake central (Or not)Stormy roadEarthquake generator spotted!All hail the earthquake generator, thou be blessedEarthquake thingy but closer.Wonder why the building is broken, perhaps earthquakes? There is a river on the other side of the hill

Some bit of history about this cycling trip. The idea was to go to a village named Slochteren and back to the city where I life.

In 1959 the largest gas field was discovered there (basically 25% of the reserves of Europe) so there has been quite some gas winnings which had the unfortunate result of earthquakes.

Great photos and interesting read @SjorsK! Thanks for sharing!

All very good photos there, @SjorsK! 

I've always lived in places with extensive hills and mountains, so, for me, it's somewhat striking to see a land-based vista that's relatively flat and wide open.

@SjorsK  Marvellous photos and interesting to hear of the historical perspective.  Enjoy the Electrical Bicycle

@AntS Thanks! I always thought that you lived in a slightly flatter area haha  

Fun fact! It's also (mostly) below sea level and relatively close to the sea ^-^ 

@JAMES4578  Thanks!  

Here is a new set of photo's from two more trips - one of 75KM, and one night trip)  

This stuff might be sliiightly illegal to the UK (The same stuff as where cannabis is made from. However it also has other applications such as making clothes, furniture etc. Apperently it's also quite good in isolating!The city in the distance

@SjorsK Looks picturesque, must have been nice trips  😉

Certainly I prefer a flatter terrain, though are some hilly bits where I am.

Thanks! It's a nice hobby It's unbelievable how beautiful my province is ^-^
