Location City -  Poupehan
State -  LUXEMBOURG
Country - Belgium   Belgium
About On a recent Kayak trip from Bouillon to Poupehan on the river Semois I came across a friendly group of scouts.
They had a lot of fun together but in a chat on the river they told me to be rather hungry as experiencing their survival even more profoundly by not having taken their breakfast that day. Further all security measures had been built in like wearing life jackets and being ensured to find a descent meal at the end of the trip.

The river Semois is located in Belgium and has a length of 190 km/118 mi. It rises near Arlon in the Southeast of the country and flows west through the provinces of Luxembourg and Namur to join the Meuse above Montherme in France. The River snakes through this area of the world, creating a natural defence in the days of marauding armies crossing Europe. Today the river offers a beautiful pathway "on and along" the banks, taking in the fresh air and sights of nature in Belgium at its very best.

Most of the rock in the Ardennes was laid down about 400 million years ago, during the early Devonian period, when the region was covered in a shallow sea. The result is a deep layer, up to eight kilometres thick in some areas, of sandstones and shales. Since then this part of the earth’s crust has been raised up and sea levels have fallen, leaving the Semois to cut its meandering river valley.

Thank you for your comment and appreciation. The scouts rafting was passing much slower than speeding with a kayak. Anyway it was much fun to meet them,
best regards,
Paul

Merci Nicki, oui beaucoup de plaisir sur la fleuve mais aussi toujours un plaisir te te lire.
J'ai pensé beaucoup à toi pendant mon plus récent voyage et séjour aux Ardennes et à Luxembourg. Certaines photos prises étaient destinées à toi. Pas encore publiées sur UF, mais on aura encore le temps.
je t'embrasse,
Paul

Ha Jen, dank voor je comment. Het was een prachtige tocht en ervaring kayakken op de Semois. Wel onschuldig allemaal vergeleken bij tochten die ik maakte in Suriname, op Borneo en in Venezuela maar dat is allemaal weer een paar geleden en kwam daarom nog niet echt aan bod op UF,
liefs,
Paul

Heerlijk zo'n stel kids, zullen idd veel lol hebben gehad samen, niet in't watergevallen met al dat dollen? En jij maar aan de kant staan joelen zeker..hahaaaa
Wat is er nou mis met de foto, is toch prima? Ook met de kleuren en pixels! Tenminste op mijn pc, jammer dat mijn zoon al naar huis is, had ik even kunnen vragen wat het probleem is...zoen Jenxx

I tried so much to get this picture of about 1900 kb to a reasonable resolution version of 400 kb. I keep it now as it is. The original version had good sharpness, but all what I did in making it smaller size was not satisfying to me. All kind of methods, different interpolations and pixel sizes all showed a loss of resolution which previously in other uploads were visibly less severe then with this one.

Another problem I got is probably related to my graphics card or its drivers. I get weird pixels and lines in wrong colors especially with many applications open at the same time. I attach an example.
All comments and suggestions welcome with respect to these 2 problems.
enjoy your evening, night, morning wherever you are,
Paul
