Over

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2022

North West winds mean a lot of planes coming in over our house. Every 90 seconds. Between 1000 and 800 feet, making their approach on Schiphol, 20 kilometers away. The sound is annoying at times, but they do deliver nice images.

Penultimate Last of the Tulips 2022

The Netherlands, Lisse – April 2022

The growing era of daffodils, hyacinths and tulips for this year is gone. Here a few photos of a little piece of land, with a nice skyline and sun.

The Lens-artists challenge #197 is ‘rule of thirds’. The rule of thirds is a rule of thumb how to compose images. But a photo that creates a journey of the eye can also be made by using lines and colors. Even when the horizon is not on 1/3.
