In the Dutch mountains

At first although I did notice the scene out of the corner of my eye as I rode past it on my bicycle. I did slow down for a moment but thought it not interesting enough. But for some reason or other I stopped 50 yards further down that road and contemplated, then I walked back and thought, well, why not try and make the most of it? As you know the Netherlands are more or less flat so you got to use every relief you can get.
I like this one because of the somewhat silly posture of the cow and the fact that with a big dose of imagination you could mistake this mountain for Uluru, because of the way it rises out of the flat grassland.

Ja, prachtig beeld!!!
Waar contemplatie/locatie per fiets toe kan leiden!
Plus een origineel denkraam natuurlijk ;-) BV.

Uluru, that was also my first reaction.
You should go back one day Jeroen and wait for a spectacular sun set on your "rock". V.

Maybe this is what inspired the classic song by The Nits? I think comparisons with Uluru are stretching it a bit though:)

This composition corrected my present imagination of Your Dutch homeland.
Funny shot. v. norbi

haha mooi! Ik zag pas na het lezen van de tekst dat het echt geen berg is! Buitenkans in eigen land!

Back on this one. One of the funniest Netherland picture I have seen.
Did you try to sell it to some tourist office ? If you find one with some sense of humor, they will buy it !

Geweldig surrealistisch Jeroen. Ongelofelijk.
Lijkt wel gemonteerd beeld. Héél knap.
Big vote.

I like the allusion to Uluru! The centralisation of the subject is different too. Well done.
