Yesterday we went to a Nursery nearby with a Christmas decoration market , i posted a small impression yesterday.
Today we will do a #Wednesdaywalk among miniature buildings in Christmas style 23 photos and 4 small videos.
The photos and videos are created by me using my Sony A7IV camera and the Laowa 15mm F4.5 1:2 Macro lens .
The photos are taken all on F4.5 and high ISO up to 8000 due to the low light conditions , i didn't change any white balance settings because it looked very unnatural .
1 )My wife and grand daughter watching the miniature village , on both sides of the isle you could select the building you want to bring home with you , if your wallet was big enough .
2 ) Although we were very early in the morning the glass was still dirty arround the vilage
3 ) Sinterklaas was also in this village with his Pakjesboot / Presents boat .
It's something for the kids we do on 5 December , although there are different varieties of the event in Europe .

4 ) I noticed that they also had a man fishing for 
5 ) Small green buildings probably based on the Zaanse Schans here in Holland . It's a nice piece of history and tourist atraction .

6 ) next up Dutch windmills and small farms
7 ) but also some buildings that people see on their winter / snow vacations in the alps .
8 ) Some more international Buildings / landmarks
9 )The only thing unique is probably the way they are presented the buildings it self are mass production.
10 )This reminds me of German villages that i've seen in the past .
11 ) o look they even replicated the Efteling atractions , for those that don't know the Efteling it's a Dutch themepark .

12 ) More of the Efteling atractions
13 )Tom Thumb and the Giant , and the tower of rapunzel
14 )And if that wasn't enough there was another construction with more miniature buildings
15 )i did regret not bringing the 24-105mm lens so that i would be able to zoom in on more details.
16 ) But with 15mm lens i did get a wider view and was able to get close when i wanted too .
17 )The wide angle does give a beter oversight of it all
18 ) This miniature fair was actually moving all atractions also made sound .
Video 01 ) Lucky for you i can also make videos with this camera, not my speciality but it does give you and idea of what it was like. it's only +/- 30 seconds but enough to get an impression.
19 )A differend angle of the fair
Video 02 ) and another short video
20 ) an actual ski slope and it was also moving as you can see in the video below.
Video 03 Moving ski slope
21 ) an overview of the large setup , and yes all these buildings you could buy , and no i didn't :)
22 ) It's fun to watch at but i don't want that in my house , simpluy because i don't have enough room to store those things after christmas.
Video 04 ) the final video of the mini fair with carousel
23 ) The last corner of the vilage , it sure was magical for the kids my granddaughter could watch those moving things all day :)
That is all for today :)
