Autumn brought is rain. After a beautiful Summer that was quite dry it is time to get used to grey clouds and their contents. And be grateful we do have rain.

The sky over The Netherlands is a wonderful object for photos, we do have lot of sky over our flat land above the low horizon. And that sky can be quite dramatic, even more in monochrome.

The Netherlands is as flat as a pancake. That is the way foreigners describe my precious habitat. It is not completely accurate, we do have some hills and dunes. The advantage of a flat surface is that we have lots of sky above the horizon. Here a typical Summer scene: rain filled sky and cows in the meadows, the odd windmill and farm.

June was wet, and July started wet but seems to end with more sun and less rain. It is a typical Dutch Summer.

A wet garden at night. And by the way, I love that WordPress AI generating amazing titles that I can not come up with. I stick with them as long as they make me smile. Nocturnal, sounds like a great piece of music.

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.

The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #289 is ‘tools of photo composition’. Light, form and shapes when they appear not to be there.

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.

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’.

The Netherlands, Katwijk aan Zee – August 2023
A windy day with some beautiful clouds on a Sunday at the beach in Katwijk. The clear views showed the curve of the coastline, with the silhouette of Scheveningen in the south, and beyond that, the harbor of Rotterdam.
