Under A Rainbow

A McDonald's sign is visible against a backdrop of a rainbow and cloudy skies.
The Netherlands, Delft – October 2025

At the end of a rainbow should be a pot of gold. Not sure if that is a Mcadee.

Cross Town Wedding

In the charming streets of Delft, a couple dressed as bride and groom had us questioning whether we’d stumbled upon a wedding or a spontaneous costume party. Either way, love was in the air, or at least some excellent snap photo ops!

Delft

The Netherlands, Delft – June 2021

The theme for his week Lens-artists challenge #152 is ‘Shadows and Shades’. Delft was the first city I visited since we went into the pandemic. It is a beautiful old town, famous for pottery (Delft’s Blauw/Delft Blue), the painter Johannes Vermeer and the fact that here William of Orange was murdered. The light was stunning on this warm and sunny day, it reminded me of the South of France.

Tradition

The Netherlands, Delft – June 2018

The weekly theme for lens artists weekly photo challenge (in short LAPC) #127 is ‘precious moments’.

During a visit to the world famous Royal Delft (where they make pottery with the famous blue color), this endearing two piece was on display in the shop. Portraying a precious moment between a female figurine and male figurine. For some the traditional clothes are precious too, but I am happy not to wear clogs any more :-).
