David V-S-T, on April 9, said:

Hallo Nicolas Mertens,

ik vind dit een zeer geslaagde foto met een surrealistische indruk. Ik heb hierbij nog een nieuwsgierig vraagje (aangezien ik als Vlaming, de regio van Westkapelle en Zoutelande redelijk goed ken): Heb je deze afbeelding niet getrokken met "springtij"? Het strand lijkt hier volledig onder water te liggen)

Vriendelijke groetjes

David

Nicolas Mertens, on April 10, said:

Hello, David, and thank you for your visit. I used Google Translate but the translation was not very good, and I didn't understand you question. Maybe you could rephrase in English, French, or Spanish? :-) Thanks again!

David V-S-T, on April 10, said:

Okay, I'll translate my explonation for you...:

this is a very good shot with a surrealistic impression. As a Belgian, I know this region in Holland very well: Westkapelle & Zoutelande. The coastline from Zoutelande has beaches; like I see on this beautiful image, the beach looks gone because the sea reachrs already the dike. Maybe I think that was a very high tide on the moment you took this photo.

Very nice greetings again,

David

Emidu72, on April 10, said:

J'adore cette photo, cette teinte couleur or tout comme l'étoile que je lui décerne ! Bravo !

Salutations de la France, Emilie

Nicolas Mertens, on April 11, said:

David! Thanks for coming back! Now I understand. The picture was taken late in the afternoon, and as you said, probably at high tide time.

Emilie, merci beaucoup, vous êtes très aimable!

huib cozijn, on April 27, said:

hallo nicolas

al die mooie woorden over jou foto komen direct op mijn site en telkens geniet ik weer! (ik denk foutje in het systeem)

groeten huib cozijn

heeftmeer, on April 27, said:

mooi plaatje. goed gedaan. Andre

Nicolas Mertens, on April 28, said:

Hello, cozijn! I'm not sure that I understood what you said, and Google Translate didn't help very much. Anyway, for what I understand, this is what happens: this photo keeps appearing in your gallery every time someone new makes a comment on it because you commented on it in the past. It's not a flaw in the system, that's how the system works. If it bothers you, you can delete the comment you made in the past, and the photo will not appear again :-) Cheers!

Hello, heeftmeer! Thank you again :-)

David V-S-T, on April 28, said:

Nicolas Mertens, I will help you: heeftmeer says "nice picture, well done. Andre "The translation of the common name "heeftmeer" is "gots more" and the (I think) the real name of this person must be Andre...

We, here in Flemmish Belguim and over the border in the Netherlands do fast think that you speak dutch, because of your name sounds Dutch too. That is always the misunderstanding in your situation about this WONDERFUL picture...

I hope I helped you, greetings from David

Nicolas Mertens, on April 29, said:

Thanks, David! Very helpful. I know what you mean with my name. There are millions of Nicolas Mertenses in the world. (If you do a Google Search of that name, Google crashes!) Fortunately, all the Nicolas Mertenses are not in Belgium—I think maybe the country is too small to accommodate them all :-) Mine comes from Luxembourg (even smaller...), but I don't speak German either :-( Only English, a bit of French, and a bit of Spanish... The turns and curves of life... Thanks again!
