On Wings
Lens Artists Photo Challenge #266 is ‘Time’. It takes a lot of time to tell everything about the concept of time. One aspect of time is how fast or how slow it is.
One common misunderstanding about time is that it can fly. It does not. It is us being mesmerized how a certain amount of time goes faster in specific situations. Eg when you are on holiday, or having a great 😊 time. Each second, minute, hour, day is exactly the same as it ever was. Sometimes time seems to go slower too! Again, a misconception. But what is the figurative opposite of flying? In most of those moments I do wish time could fly.

Rembrandt’s View
Lens Artists Photo Challenge #266 is ‘Time’. It takes a lot of time to tell everything about the concept of time.
One of the best musical stories about time is by Pink Floyd: Time of the brilliant timeless album The Dark Side of the Moon, that was released 50 years ago.
This week I try to show aspects that come to my mind. The first is history at present. Places where important moments in time happened. Which you observe from the present.
This is a recent sunset over the Galgewater in Leiden. ‘Where? Why? Of what importance?’ I hear you say. At the bridge on the left side of the frame Rembrandt van Rijn was born. A copy of the mill his father used for his business is on the right. The only thing Rembrandt would have seen is the sunset, and the mills. All the buildings and boats etc are ‘after Rembrandt’.

A Cloudy Windy Day At The Beach
The Netherlands, Katwijk aan Zee – August 2023
A windy day with some beautiful clouds on a Sunday at the beach in Katwijk. The clear views showed the curve of the coastline, with the silhouette of Scheveningen in the south, and beyond that, the harbor of Rotterdam.

Fira 1979
This week LAPC #259 is ‘unbound’. Again one from the archives, that I published earlier for LAPC. #164. The then small town of Fira, on the island Thira aka Santorini, built on the edge of a former caldera. Since 1979 tourism boomed extremely on this beautiful island. I feel fortunate to have visited it before that tourist flood. But each time I see photos of this place I long to go back. The beaches are perfect: volcanic ashes that does not stick like sand.
About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. Some of them are partly retouched but most do have scratches, dust and stains.
The picture was originally shot with Pentax K1000 on Kodak Plusx, scanned from negative and tweaked using Snapseed and Marksta. Click the picture for a larger version.
Sugar Cake: estate Sandenburg
The Netherlands, Langbroek – July 2023
Kasteel Sandenburg in Langbroek. An old estate in the center of The Netherlands. Lovingly nicknamed the sugar cake. I wonder why.

What happens on a bulb field in Summer?
If the soil is not being cleaned by flooding or gassed by covering it in plastic, the fields that are covered in Daffodils, Hyacinths or Tulips in Spring, in Summer are growing cut flowers for sales.
