Sky Blue

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – August 2021

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#162) is ‘all about the light’. Maybe not a photo you would expcect when it is about ‘light’. But it is. I always love reading quotes from people on blogs, but I am too lazy to look up this one. Someone said: photography is painting with light. Which is true basically, glass, metal or later film was made to be sensitive to light to store images. Sensors do the same, but we are not aware of that process. Just the result.
Last weeks I was looking at the sky more and more because a friend (I call him a friend even though I have not yet him personally for our first beer) Andy Townend ‘shoots a sky a day’ on his Facebook and IG account. A sky with clouds is a painting in light. I long to see blue skies, it is too wet and grey this Summer.

Couple

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – May 2021

The theme for his week Lens-artists challenge #150 is ‘Let’s go wild’.
Near our house there is an artificial lake created by the need for sand for infrastructural building. The sand was used to build a railway and as a base for houses and roads. On the banks is big nest box for Sand Martins. They come all the way from Africa and normally hatch in steep river walls. After creating their offspring they move back to Africa. In the setting sun they play in the sky, chasing each other.

Cherry on Top (Clouds)

This weekly theme is ‘cherry on top’.

The Netherlands are a flat country. Horizons are low. Sometimes you have the luck to cover up a scenic photo with a beautiful cloudy sky. Especially when your are driven in a just purchased new car. No cherries here though.
