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.

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.

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
In the flat low lands we have lots of sky. A simple grey covered sky with some backlight can turn into a vivid abstract. Lens Artists Photo Challenge #271 is ‘contrasts’.

Tears in sunlight
The iPhone improved amazingly for taking photos over the years, but long shots are still a way off what I would like.

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’.

1979 Steps (about 600)
This week LAPC #260 is ‘overlooked’. Again one from the archives, the then small town of Fira, on the island Thira aka Santorini, built on the edge of a former caldera. The old harbor is deep down, and 600 steps lead you up to the town balancing on the edge of the caldera. Donkeys are used for comfort against payment. 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.

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.

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.
