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.

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.

The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #112 is ‘Pick a Word… ’.
This was a dark, big tangled sky that brought a lot of rain.

Sometimes you have to go elsewhere to find a sanctuary. New horizons.

As a kid I liked to look up at the clouds in the sky, dreaming away with the shapes. And sometimes had the feeling that the sky was not up there but down. Peter Gabriel wrote a beautiful song about it, Downside Up.

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.

The Netherlands, The Hague – July 2019
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.

The Netherlarnds, The Hague – July 2019
The theme for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #55 is Dreamy. Looking at high buildings, the people, careers, work and activities going on in them, makes me wonder sometimes. This is Den Haag, the area round the Central Station.

The weekly theme is ‘experimental’.
During a short holiday in the South of Spain we had an apartment with a breath taking view over the Mediterranean Sea. Using a long lens made the view even more fun. The effects of light, water and sky were quite surprising.

Chaos in the end results into an order of something new in a different form or shape. It is about flow and freedom to play and create and destroy. For me clouds fit that picture especially when they tower over us as giants looking down on our flat land.
Or race it on the wind in Autumn, or slowly hover lazily as in Summer. In my head I can always hear this song looking at clouds in a blue sky: Sky Blue by Peter Gabriel.

This weekly theme is ‘cherry on top’.
The Netherlands are a flat country. Horizons are low. Sometimes you have the luck to cover up a scenic photo with a beautiful cloudy sky. Especially when your are driven in a just purchased new car. No cherries here though.
