Corn
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #120 is ‘what a treat’.
I love to take photos from a car (rest assured, I am not doing the driving at those moments). And the result can be quite surprising at times. This one gives me the feeling of a small village, hidden in the landscape.

The garden is a special place during each season. It offers a cycle of life yearly; each phase with its own beauty and uniqueness.

Coming back to an area I visited a long time ago in my youth, brings back memories about the past. The beauty of nature is sometimes overwhelming, even when it rains.

Season’s End
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #119 is ‘My hideaway’.
Autumn has come, Summer is over. The garden is no longer the place to enjoy being outside during the pandemic, looking at plants and flowers. Seasons come and go, the natural cycle continues, and Summer is waiting to come back next year, hopefully in a different setting without restrictions.

Power
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #118 is ‘Communication’.
Architecture can be used to communicate wealth or power. An example in the history of The Netherlands are the canal houses in Amsterdam. A more modern ‘show off’ of wealth is the ING House on the A10 in Amsterdam. A rather small Head Office on a very expensive piece of land. And building high risings is another example where (not only) Dutch cities build literally their image and show off economic power. This is Delftse Poort, til 2009 the highest building in The Netherlands. The five highest buildings in The Netherlands are all in Rotterdam (this is the ranking).

About Rooftops
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #117 is ‘A photo Walk’.
Last week I had to kill some time in Rotterdam near the Central Station.
Just behind the roof of Central Station is Delftse Poort. Until 2009 the highest building in The Netherlands. The five highest buildings in The Netherlands are all in Rotterdam.

Church and Cows
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #115 is ‘Inspiration’.
The Dutch landscape is a continuous source of inspiration. Sometimes in a wide view, sometimes in a close up to pick up some details. A church on a dyke, cows in the polder.

Inspiration
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #115 is ‘Inspiration’.
The canal that runs through my village is always an inspiration. Each season has its new perspective. The image is a bit shaky, using the zoom on the iPhone.

Tower
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #114 is ‘Negative Space’.
The term ‘negative space’ to me is confusion: technically it is the space around the main subject of a photo. It means ‘negative’ as opposed to ‘positive’ attention for the main subject. The word ‘negative’ as a noun brings back good old memories. Being older I actually worked and work with negatives (for the millennials: it has to do with film, the light sensitive stuff we used to put in a camera to get a photo on (in negative) that later could be printed (in positive).
So ‘negative space’ is about the focus a viewer of a photo is offered in a photo. If there is a lot to see around the subject, than that distracts from that subject. In other words: it is a creative tool a photographer can use.

Labor of love
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #113 is ‘A labor of love’.
The theme is meant to honor Labor Day in the United States of America. But I decided to give my own twist to the theme, and add parenthood to the label ‘labor’.

Corridor
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #112 is ‘Pick a Word… ’.
Paula of Lost in Translation has been hosting a monthly challenge on her site: pick a word and post a photo that describes or portrays or symbolizes or associates with that word or words. Since Paula was away for a while, AC used this theme to bring it back to life. And what happens? Paula announced she will restart hosting the challenge. It can not be a coincidence.
This photo is a corridor of a beautiful, comfortable and welcoming hotel in Nunspeet in The Netherlands, Dorpsherberg De Roskam. It is a wonderful place to explore De Veluwe by foot or (electric) bicycle. We had a short stay over to pick up old youth memories and enjoy the flowering heather. It is a busy but not too crowded place, not exuberant but functional and practical. With a staff that is friendly, welcoming and always near when needed. If you are able to visit, I recommend you do so. This small business initiative deserves to grow.
