Sunset Canal
The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2020
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #95 is ‘All Wet’.
You might think seeing this photo ‘this is not all wet, is it?’ And indeed it is not. Some say God created the world and The Dutch created The Netherlands.The first is a question of belief and the latter is a question of opinion. The fact is that a big part of the low lands (Netherlands) are under sea level. This small canal is part of the waterworks that manages to keep Dutch feet dry. If we could not manage water this way you would be looking at the sea. So it is not all wet, it is managed wet and we prefer it that way.

Some say God created the world and The Dutch created The Netherlands.The first is a question of belief and the latter is a question of opinion. The fact is that a big part of the low lands (Netherlands) are under sea level. This pond collects water, if there is too much rain the excess water is taking down to the sea. This pond is one of the waterworks that manages to keep Dutch feet dry. If we could not manage water this way you would be looking at the sea. So it is not all wet, it is managed wet and we prefer it that way.

The fact is that a big part of the low lands (Netherlands) are under sea level. This canal is one of the waterworks that manages to keep Dutch feet dry. This canal is taking water from ‘polders’ back to the sea. If we could not manage water this way you would be looking at the sea, with the building on the left just above the sea level. So it is not all wet, it is managed wet and we prefer it that way.

The world is small, only go out for walks and necessary shopping. The skies are quiet. Once a while a passenger plane comes in, mostly it is cargo.

Trail
The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2020
Normally the sky would be filled with them on a clear day: the trail lines of aeroplanes on high altitude flying over.
In Corona times hardly any are visible in the sky. It is much quieter, the skies are much clearer.

Tulips 6 and a virtual visit to the Keukenhof
The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2020
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #91 is ‘simplicity’.
A series telling the story of a vase of yellow and red tulips. Being lazy basically and trying out a new iPhone 11, I took this series, telling the story of a bunch of tulips in a vase.
Normally we would be out admiring the bulb fields in full bloom. This year we can not.
The Keukenhof (a beautiful garden with 7 million flowers in bloom) is closed as well.
On Facebook they publish videos of the garden. If you enjoy flowers it is a great place to feed on colours and bright, uplifting images of nature.
As flowers open their hearts to us, we need to open up and share our empathy to each other. Stay safe, stay healthy. Whatever the politics is, we are all in this together as mankind. We can only get through this together.
