A rough translation of the title would be White Women. In the East of Holland they are believed to be mist ghosts. One old story tells us that all newborn babies should be protected, because if the witte wieven get their hands on him/her they will abduct it and leave a disfigured baby in its place.
I love old folklore... this picture fits very well with that kind of thing... I love the exposure range in this shot... a wonderful combination of light and shadow... and the mist makes it quite eerie as well... the reflections are a bit of a distraction to the scene, mostly beause they're not the focus of the shot, but they are very prominent still...
I kinda get the chills just looking at this shot... nice work.
Very nice place. I can almost feel its magic through your picture. We have the same stories in France, and the ghost ladies are called "Dames Blanches".
I really like the white foggy horizon. Beautiful shot. And
