Counting Rotors
Normally I occasionally see air ambulances or police helicopters, but I assume these are not civilian helicopters.

Spring Sunset Skies
Skies can be amazingly dramatic these days, sometimes aided by a whiff of Sahara sand in the mix of light and clouds.

Liberation 1945
This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #292 is ‘People here, there and everywhere’.
I do not know who took this photo, I do not know the date. We assume it is just after World War 2, May 1945. And we assume my father took it. The photo lacks focus unfortunately, but that adds to the thrill of figuring out what is on it. Luckily we could ask the youngest sister of my father (my last aunt still alive); she thinks it is taken just after the war.
There is a parade on the street, observed by people; among them the sisters and brother of my father from the top window of my grandfather’s house (called Weltevreden) where my father lived. The point of view is from a window of the house where my mother lived, and where I would be born 14 years later.
The negative is quite poorly and damaged, but a sweep through Lightroom and Snapseed provided this old memory.

Carriage Wheels
An old photo of ‘ringsteken’ (if you follow the link you can see some photo’s in action). A traditional activity where horse pulled carriages try to pick off little metal rings from a rope held piece of wood hanging over the road. For lens artists challenge #290 Circular by Wonders.
About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. Some of them are partly retouched but most do have scratches, dust and stains.
The picture was originally shot with Pentax K1000 on Kodak TriX, scanned from negative and tweaked using Snapseed and Marksta. Click the picture for a larger version.

Sunrise
Sunrise on the J.H. Oortbrug for lens artists challenge #290 Circular Wonders. What is most the biggest wonder? The wheels or the sun? It is the first photo of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Water Watcher
A familiar sight in the neighborhood. He never looks good on iPhone but now on Nikon the details of his feathers are quite impressive.

Magnolia
After dropping its leaves the Magnolia immediately prepares to grow out again in Spring, I always wonder where they get their weather information.

Rain/Reign o’er me
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #289 is ‘tools of photo composition’. Rain on a window distorts the sharpness outside, and adds something extra to the shape of the trees on this wet, Winter day.

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.

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
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.
