Magnolia Triple

The Magnolia is in front of the house, outside the kitchen window. Lens Artists Photo Challenge #288 is ‘window shopping’. It is a beautiful view to see it daily taking small steps into Spring.

Going for Gold

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #288 is ‘window shopping’. Most of the time it is an activity associated with shop displays. I take a different angle, and use windows to shop for something new.

Light

The Netherlands, Voorhout – January 2024

This week’s Lens Artists Challenge #287 is ‘Sound’. The road is busy, the sound of cars is in my ears as I try to frame this mill against the sunset, trying to avoid a car in the frame at first. Then zooming out and coming back to the road I ended up with this one, showing the lamplight and the cars coming and fading in the distance. This is the last in a series of four of Windmill ‘Hoop doet leven’ in Voorhout against the Winter sunset. The first three in a list in order of publication:

Flying Blues

This week’s Lens Artists Challenge #287 is ‘Sound’. Seeing this incoming flight immediately gives the association of its sound. The memory provides that information instantaneously. The image pleases the eye, it is not necessarily the ears agree.

Mono Flowers

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest- December 2023

Being spoiled by the availability of fresh and cheap cut flowers all year, I’m not too fond of fake flowers. But sometimes they make a nice statement.

Amaryllis

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – October 2023

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. I’m privileged to live in a country with lots of flowers, having fresh ones weekly in the house.

Gypsophila

Flowers are colorful but sometimes more color is added artificially. The lens artists photo challenge #279 is ‘magical’.

Ceiling

The Netherlands, Leidschendam – November 2023

Two days ago I published a detail of the ceiling at Westfield Mall of the Netherlands in color. This is the monochrome version of the same image, in my opinion even more magical than the color version. In the feedback some wondered how this structure can be a ceiling. Here is an earlier publication showing the top light window in the ceiling in mono.

Rain and Shine

A Magnolia tree. Autumn is a time of rapid changes. It can be light and sunny with wonderful colors on display, or grim and dim in rain. Both have its unique beauty in my humble opinion.

Rain

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – November 2023

The pattern of raindrops or the clouds through the window is unique each time you watch it. The wind being the big agency driving it all. The lens artists photo challenge #278 is ‘unique’.
