Exploring Delft Blue Pottery and Iconic Selfie at Drievliet in The Netherlands

The Netherlands, Den Haag – August 2024

The Netherlands is famous for Delft’s Blauw (Delft Blue) pottery. At Drievliet they organized a selfie picture stand with two iconic statues to be virtually kissed. I framed it in a different way.

Captivating Views and Exciting Rides: Drievliet, The Hague’s Charming Amusement Park

Drievliet is a small and very old amusement park. Over fifty years ago I first went there on a school trip. Then most of the attractions had to be moved by muscle power. Last week I had my second visit to Drievliet with our grand children. The park is dramatically changed but still has the same appeal to kids: lots of fun to be had on rides, slides, rollercoasters, ferris wheels, merrygorounds etc. And of course the fries and icecream in between. The weather was not that good, but the clouds added to the view from the ferris wheel looking at downtown Den Haag.

Scheveningen Boulevard Work: Fence and Gulls Composition

The Netherlands, Scheveningen – June 2024

The Pier of Scheveningen, blocked out by a fence that is erected to work on the boulevard. A weird composition of lines, colours and objects, filled in with some gulls. And I do like the lamp post.

LAPC 308 is about perfect pairs, by creating a diptych (two images placed in proximity to one another, forming a pair). Every self respecting town and village needs a ferris wheel.
