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.

Some photos do not fit the LAPC’s themes, so there is a rest category ‘last chance’ being #280. I never am guided by the themes in the photos I shoot. Some fit in, some don’t. But I never know the theme while shooting. Here is one from the archive I recently stumbled upon, never published.
Slane Hill in Ireland. Close to Slane Castle castle that is famous among other historical facts, for being the recording site for U2’s The unforgettable fire’ in 1984. And famous open air concerts.
Outside the village is The Hill of Slane with a small old ruined chapel, a ruined monastery and a graveyard, overlooking the landscape and the river Boyne.
The most interesting place is a small hill with undergrowth right behind the site, from which this photo was taken.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #266 is ‘Time’. It takes a lot of time to tell everything about the concept of time. One aspect of time is how fast or how slow it is.
One common misunderstanding about time is that it can fly. It does not. It is us being mesmerized how a certain amount of time goes faster in specific situations. Eg when you are on holiday, or having a great 😊 time. Each second, minute, hour, day is exactly the same as it ever was. Sometimes time seems to go slower too! Again, a misconception. But what is the figurative opposite of flying? In most of those moments I do wish time could fly.

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’.
