Lens Artists Photo Challenge #402 is a return to the first ever LAPC: wonder. In this world there is plenty to wonder about. Like how they build something as beautiful as this, brought back to its original state in the nineties of last century, was created. It is part of a big palace, palace Het Loo.

On The Shore
Lens Artists Photo Challenge #402 is a return to the first ever LAPC: wonder. In this world there is plenty to wonder about. Sometimes it only takes a step outside of a pattern. Think of the way we are used to look at the world. In a photo you can use the light and darkness to frame a story of a very familiar subject.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #402 is a return to the first ever LAPC: wonder. In this world there is plenty to wonder about. Sometimes it only takes a step outside of a pattern. Think of the way we are used to look at the world. Just because we stand straight up most of the time (and the advantage is that you can take the photo the ‘right’ way up and just turn it while you edit it).
