Obscured by Trees
The Lens Artists Photo Challenge #297 is ‘music to my eyes’. Images and music are a strong way of bringing back memories, feelings, situations you once experienced. This photo clicked my memory for a Pink Floyd album ‘Obscured by clouds’. It is not so much the clouds that obscure in this image, the branches of the trees create a web of lines over the sky and sun.

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.

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 TriX, scanned from negative and tweaked using Snapseed and Marksta. Click the picture for a larger version.

Going for Gold
Lens Artists Photo Challenge #288 is ‘window shopping’. Most of the time it is an activity associated with shop displays. I take a different angle, and use windows to shop for something new.

Autumn Paths
Lens Artists Photo Challenge #275 is ‘filling the frame’. Each photo fills a frame of course, but this is about focussing a subject, and eliminate distraction.
A cycle path along a railroad in Autumn, two days ago I showed a version in monochrome. Yesterday the color version. Today in color featuring a cyclist. Feel free to make up your own story, or pick your favorite.

Clouds

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’.
