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.
