Leiden
A few weeks ago I published a photo from the same point of view, but with basking sunny weather. This one is showing an overcast day, in the middle of the week. The previous one was shot with iPhone13promax, and this one is iPhone15promax. Spot the differences :-).

As Below So Above
England, Walmer – December 2024
The panoramic mode on the iPhone is not a favorite setting for me. On Instagram you get bombarded by adds about all Apple did not tell you about taking photos on iPhone: some work, eg using panorama setting for a wider angle (the fun for me using an iPhone is to be curious about all you can do finding it out for yourself).
But making a panorama having a straight line in front of you (a road eg) is hilarious. What would a sky panorama look like? So I did a 360 sky and a 180 horizon of the sea front at Walmer. Just for fun.

A Brand New Day
The start of a brand new year, the first day with 365 following, given this is a leap year. A calm sea, the light breaking into the waves, painting a gorgeous sky in the clouds. It’s all in the details. The small boat heading out to a new port of call.

On the edge of 2023
2023 is in its final day, tomorrow opens a brand new year. Not a complete blank canvas, but one with lots of room and opportunities for new initiatives, changes, life! I wish you a wonderful new year in freedom, as a gull on his wings soaring the sea and land. Carpe diem!

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’.
