Seaside old glory

The Netherlands, Scheveningen – July 2019

The theme for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #56  is Seashores and/or Lakeshores. Scheveningen used to be a small fishing village but now is part of Den Haag.
The Kurhaus is the only remaining old building. In the sixties everything except the Kurhaus was demolished and replaced by modern type buildings. Killing the sight and sphere of the coastline.

Watcher of the Skies

The Netherlands, The Hague – July 2019

After another week of tropical heat it seems that global warming aka climate change is not as fake as some president of the USA believes. And the only variable that has disrupted nature since ages is mankind. It seems time to make up our minds.

A few lines of Genesis – Watcher of the skies came into my mind.

Creatures shaped this planet’s soil
Now their reign has come to end
Has life again destroyed life?
Do they play elsewhere, do they know
More than their childhood games?
Maybe the lizard’s shed its tail
This is the end of man’s long union with Earth

It is all up to us.

Skyline 2 – Dreamy

The Netherlarnds, The Hague – July 2019

The theme for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #55  is Dreamy. Looking at high buildings, the people, careers, work and activities going on in them, makes me wonder sometimes. This is Den Haag, the area round the Central Station.

I browsed my archive for pictures to publish in – an originally – small series. That series caught on a bit more than I thought.
All of them are not retouched yet.Scratches, dust and stains are not removed.

Buiten Gebruik(en) / Use outside?

The Netherlands, Leiden – April 2019

This is a Dutch language tongue in cheek photo. Buiten gebruik means out of order. But buiten in Dutch can mean outside and gebruik means to use. Use outside? We are outside!
