Leiden
A few weeks ago I published a photo from the same point of view, but with basking sunny weather. This one is showing an overcast day, in the middle of the week. The previous one was shot with iPhone13promax, and this one is iPhone15promax. Spot the differences :-).

Liberation 1945
This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #292 is ‘People here, there and everywhere’.
I do not know who took this photo, I do not know the date. We assume it is just after World War 2, May 1945. And we assume my father took it. The photo lacks focus unfortunately, but that adds to the thrill of figuring out what is on it. Luckily we could ask the youngest sister of my father (my last aunt still alive); she thinks it is taken just after the war.
There is a parade on the street, observed by people; among them the sisters and brother of my father from the top window of my grandfather’s house (called Weltevreden) where my father lived. The point of view is from a window of the house where my mother lived, and where I would be born 14 years later.
The negative is quite poorly and damaged, but a sweep through Lightroom and Snapseed provided this old memory.

First Terrace Sun
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #291 is ‘Cityscapes’. The first sun got people out to enjoy the rays while having a drink on the junction of the Oude Rijn and Nieuwe Rijn in Leiden. On the right De Waag, the weighing house.

Red Lights
No one seems to like these circular wonders, created to keep traffic circulating and flowing in a safe fashion. Especially when they are red, a circular red or an arrow for direction. For lens artists challenge #290 Circular Wonders.

Sunrise
Sunrise on the J.H. Oortbrug for lens artists challenge #290 Circular Wonders. What is most the biggest wonder? The wheels or the sun? It is the first photo of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Flying Blues
This week’s Lens Artists Challenge #287 is ‘Sound’. Seeing this incoming flight immediately gives the association of its sound. The memory provides that information instantaneously. The image pleases the eye, it is not necessarily the ears agree.

The whole of the moon
I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

As Below So Above
England, Walmer – December 2024
The panoramic mode on the iPhone is not a favorite setting for me. On Instagram you get bombarded by adds about all Apple did not tell you about taking photos on iPhone: some work, eg using panorama setting for a wider angle (the fun for me using an iPhone is to be curious about all you can do finding it out for yourself).
But making a panorama having a straight line in front of you (a road eg) is hilarious. What would a sky panorama look like? So I did a 360 sky and a 180 horizon of the sea front at Walmer. Just for fun.
