The theme for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #62 is ‘silhouettes’.
Instead of ‘hard’ silhouettes I find it sometimes more pleasing to show some details in the darker parts.
The darker area’s create a nice frame for the view on the polder and meadows following the canal.

Something old: we all know babies and the way they mesmerize us. Something new: each baby is unique. Something borrowed: he is his own boss, but for now he depends on his mother and family to be nurtured and safe. And his opa borrows him as a model, because he cannot object yet. Something blue: well, the sweater. This little boy is a treasure and brings so much happiness and love.

The theme for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #56 is Seashores and/or Lakeshores. Scheveningen used to be a small fishing village but now is part of Den Haag.
The Kurhaus is the only remaining old building. In the sixties everything except the Kurhaus was demolished and replaced by modern type buildings. Killing the sight and sphere of the coastline.

After another week of tropical heat it seems that global warming aka climate change is not as fake as some president of the USA believes. And the only variable that has disrupted nature since ages is mankind. It seems time to make up our minds.
A few lines of Genesis – Watcher of the skies came into my mind.
Creatures shaped this planet’s soil
Now their reign has come to end
Has life again destroyed life?
Do they play elsewhere, do they know
More than their childhood games?
Maybe the lizard’s shed its tail
This is the end of man’s long union with Earth
It is all up to us.
