Autumn Sunset

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – November 2021

The Autumn was short this year. High temperatures were pleasant, but the amazing colors on leaves that are normal for this time of year, were not present. And when the weather changed the leaves came off the trees very fast. Luckily the sunsets are always there.

Hybrid Working

The Netherlands, Voorschoten – October 2021

Since the pandemic started we worked from home. But now we start up to work at home and a few days at the office. Hybrid working. I enjoyed being on a train again, seeing the landscape, so familiar but so pleasingly fresh and new to my eyes, passing by. And yes, of course you meet a signpost on a photo.

Lhasa Tibet

Tibet, Lhasa – March 2004

The 139th Weekly Lens Artists Challenge is ‘special moments’. Pilgrims at the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa.

In March 2004 I visited Tibet. It would be an understatement if I said it was just overwhelming. The backdrop of the Himalayas. The fact that we were ‘high’: most of the time 3500 meters over sea level, my normal level of living.
The people and their close contact with religion, Buddhism. All parts of a puzzle that hopefully will bring me back there one day.
