Sunset

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – May 2023

Lens Artist Photo Challenge #250 (hurray) is ‘Cloudscapes or Skyscapes’.

Living in a land flat as a pancake, makes one used to see a low horizon and lots of sky. Hence we do not pay too much attention to it probably, if it’s blue it’s fine, if it’s grey there is a lot of grey. The only exception are sunrises and sunsets. They can be majestic.

Mill at Night

The Netherlands, Leiden – May 2023

A bit of a ‘a bit of this, a bit of that on a junk pile shot’. Molen De Valk in Leiden, the entrance of an underground parking, a lamplight and a building crane. Still there is some magic in it.

Flower Fields

The Netherlands, Voorhout – April 2023

At this time of Spring the bulbfields deliver their richness and beauty in rows of flowers, stretching over the land like post stamps. Living in this area of The Netherlands for a long time, this is quite a ‘normal’ event. I try to remember the first time I saw it as a child, being amazed by the perfume and splendour of the fields, just to keep me appreciating it as it should.

Public Power Cut 2

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – February 2023

The weekly lens artists challenge #242 is ‘new experiences’. A month ago we had a partial public space power cut, the streetlights of a part of the neigbourhood were off for an hour and the moon showed its grace beautifully. Power inside the houses was still there. Power cuts are fortunately rare, and this one was quite a nice experience! This is a bicycle coming by.

Off Beach: A Question

The Netherlands, Katwijk -February 2023

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge 240 is hosted by John Steiner. He invites to show my favorite type or style of photography as the road I have chosen to take most often. And that creates a bit of a problem for me. I need direction.

Basically my attention gets caught and produces an image. It is not conscious, it is in the context where I am. And it results in an array of subjects. It is easier to say what road I do not take: fashion, portraits, urban. But travel, cities, landscapes etc are part of the portfolio. Maybe I can not choose to continue in a specific direction?

I think I have to ask the visitors of this blog to give an answer to John’s question, for I can’t for myself. What do you think? Is there a red line in my snaps? Or is it a mixed bag of pieces? I appreciate your feedback.
