Water Walk
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #100 is ‘the long and winding road’.
Walking on water is difficult, but if you are afraid to fall (and get wet) you will never learn.
Green
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #99 is ‘old and new’.
This little pond is part of a little park in my village. When I was a toddler I used to feed the ducks and swans here. Sitting there years later I was impressed by the green and shapes of the trees under the Corona blue sky.
Polder
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #99 is ‘old and new’.
A polder is a piece of land below the surrounding water level. It is artificial because it is created by man. Dykes are build to make it dry and keep the water out, and canals are made to pump water out, dumping it in canals that eventually bring it back to sea. In the background you see a dyke: behind the dyke is water of a lake. If the dyke was not there you would look at the lake :-). So this is old and new land.

Interruption
The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – May 2020
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #99 is ‘old and new’.
During the Corona crisis, most air traffic came to a stop. The skies are blue, and occasionally a plan (mostly cargo) comes over.
Normally every minute a plan approaches Schiphol Amsterdam Airport 25 kilometres to the North. The old is no longer, this new is for the time being.

The Flower and the Bee
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #99 is ‘old and new’.
Bees are under thread of extinction worldwide. If we loose them our ecosystems will stop. The simple thing of a flower and a bee makes our world work.

Afterglow
The Netherlands, Voorhout – May 2020
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #97 is ‘pastimes’.
Normally the bulb fields attract tourists in the Spring. The colours are always fantastic to see. Let alone the smell. In The Netherlands we are in an intelligent lockdown since March 12th. To prevent people from flocking into the bulb fields the growers decided to chop the heads sooner than normal. After all the bulbs that are on the field are meant to be sold, you can order them online from August. The flowers are taking too much strength out of the bulbs, that is why they are chopped off after flowering. Last weekend we spotted two fields still in bloom, and decided to have a closer look on a bicycle ride. This is what we found.
If you want to see flowers in bloom just check out the archives of flowers and Voorhout.

Sunset over the field
The Netherlands, Katwijk – May 2020
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #97 is ‘pastimes’.
During the intelligent lockdown we can make short bicycle trips to have some excercise and see the beauty of nature bursting out in Spring. Yesterday I posted two motor powered parachutes against the sky. This is taken from the same viewpoint.

Sky Trip
The Netherlands, Katwijk – May 2020
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #97 is ‘pastimes’.
During the intelligent lockdown we can make short bicycle trips to have some excercise and see the beauty of nature bursting out in Spring. These two pilots take it to a higher level in their favourite pastime. Zooming in with the iPhone 11 Max gave this almost paint like rendering of the sky.

Sunset Canal
The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2020
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #95 is ‘All Wet’.
You might think seeing this photo ‘this is not all wet, is it?’ And indeed it is not. Some say God created the world and The Dutch created The Netherlands.The first is a question of belief and the latter is a question of opinion. The fact is that a big part of the low lands (Netherlands) are under sea level. This small canal is part of the waterworks that manages to keep Dutch feet dry. If we could not manage water this way you would be looking at the sea. So it is not all wet, it is managed wet and we prefer it that way.

Some say God created the world and The Dutch created The Netherlands.The first is a question of belief and the latter is a question of opinion. The fact is that a big part of the low lands (Netherlands) are under sea level. This pond collects water, if there is too much rain the excess water is taking down to the sea. This pond is one of the waterworks that manages to keep Dutch feet dry. If we could not manage water this way you would be looking at the sea. So it is not all wet, it is managed wet and we prefer it that way.

The fact is that a big part of the low lands (Netherlands) are under sea level. This canal is one of the waterworks that manages to keep Dutch feet dry. This canal is taking water from ‘polders’ back to the sea. If we could not manage water this way you would be looking at the sea, with the building on the left just above the sea level. So it is not all wet, it is managed wet and we prefer it that way.

The world is small, only go out for walks and necessary shopping. The skies are quiet. Once a while a passenger plane comes in, mostly it is cargo.

Trail
The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2020
Normally the sky would be filled with them on a clear day: the trail lines of aeroplanes on high altitude flying over.
In Corona times hardly any are visible in the sky. It is much quieter, the skies are much clearer.

Tulips 6 and a virtual visit to the Keukenhof
The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2020
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #91 is ‘simplicity’.
A series telling the story of a vase of yellow and red tulips. Being lazy basically and trying out a new iPhone 11, I took this series, telling the story of a bunch of tulips in a vase.
Normally we would be out admiring the bulb fields in full bloom. This year we can not.
The Keukenhof (a beautiful garden with 7 million flowers in bloom) is closed as well.
On Facebook they publish videos of the garden. If you enjoy flowers it is a great place to feed on colours and bright, uplifting images of nature.
As flowers open their hearts to us, we need to open up and share our empathy to each other. Stay safe, stay healthy. Whatever the politics is, we are all in this together as mankind. We can only get through this together.
