Morning Flight 3
At sunrise on the marshes at Blakeney. The weekly theme for LAPC #237 is ‘bringing softness’. I pulled the camera following a flight, coming in towards the rising sun, and here coming into the light.
Here is morning flight 1, here is morning flight 2. And if you follow my blog you have seen the photo of the same flock after they passed the sun ‘winter sunrise over the marshes’.

Salt Marshes at Blakeney
England, Blakeney – January 2023
The theme for LAPC 234 is ‘messages’. The coast of north Norfolk is one big nature resort with salt marshes and wildlife. The continuous change of the sea water coming in and out, the light changes during the day time and the vastness and beauty are stunning.

Murphy’s and Cooper’s Law
England, Blakeney – January 2023
The theme for LAPC 234 is ‘messages’. Meet Murphy (the brown Show Cocker) and Cooper (the white brown). Both of them love water (and mud) and love chasing a ball together. When there is water or mud (preferably both) and a ball to catch, they do not stop playing.

Holkham Dunes
England, Holkham – January 202
The theme for LAPC 234 is ‘messages’. The dunes and the retreated sea create a wonderful open space that connects land, sea, sky and men. A space for stories, dreams and desires.

England, Blakeney – January 2023

Moon over Marshes

Zijl
This week lens artists challenge #214 is ‘favourite finds’. A typical Dutch landscape on a warm day, with boats coming and going to the lakes. The find was the little ferry we used to cross this water, the river Zijl near Leiden.

Mind the Barrier
The views of the landscapes are taken from the car in the passenger seat. And sometimes that leads to seeing surprising objects in the front of the picture. LAPC #209 is surreal.

Low Horizon: View on Oegstgeest
This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge is #206 ‘Treasures’. Life deserves to be treasured as it rolls out with us on our journey through our years. Lots of change happens during that trip. One of The Netherlands most wonderful features is the low horizon. Meaning we have so much sky, as a giant canvas to show clouds and patterns. The flat horizon does not attract too much attention, just offers some texture to the straight line. Showing the changes over the years as urbanization and commercial estates grow.

Penultimate Last of the Tulips 2022
The Netherlands, Lisse – April 2022
The growing era of daffodils, hyacinths and tulips for this year is gone. Here a few photos of a little piece of land, with a nice skyline and sun.
The Lens-artists challenge #197 is ‘rule of thirds’. The rule of thirds is a rule of thumb how to compose images. But a photo that creates a journey of the eye can also be made by using lines and colors. Even when the horizon is not on 1/3.

Row Row Row your boat
The Lens-artists challenge #197 is ‘rule of thirds’. The rule of thirds is a rule of thumb how to compose images. There are more ‘rules’; another is the ‘s’ like in the photo above. Whatever rule you like to use: break them and tweak them till you are happy with the result of the photo you are putting together. In the end your gut tells a lot about what constitutes a decent picture to your liking.

A Kind Request: Stay Out of the Fields
Each year the growers of bulbs try to keep the public out of the fields. If people enter the fields there is an imminent risk of diseases to the bulbs. It is impossible to patrol all fields so soft tactics with signs are being used. And some growers have volunteers to address people who do enter their fields. But in the end it all is depending on the behavior and goodwill of people. Unfortunately some think a field is public space. The other day I heard an anecdote about this ‘freedom confusion’. One day a grower saw a family enter his field, passing by at that moment. He noticed that the car of the man was left open. So he sat in the car. The man ran from the field to his car asking ‘what are you doing? this is my car!’. The grower just replied: ‘and that is my field you entered’.

Covid is still among us, but slowly we start up to the new normal. That means going back to the office some days a week, hence being in a train again. Here a view out of the window.
