Low Horizon: View on Oegstgeest

The Netherlands, Voorhout – June 2022

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge is #206 ‘Treasures’. Life deserves to be treasured as it rolls out with us on our journey through our years. Lots of change happens during that trip. One of The Netherlands most wonderful features is the low horizon. Meaning we have so much sky, as a giant canvas to show clouds and patterns. The flat horizon does not attract too much attention, just offers some texture to the straight line. Showing the changes over the years as urbanization and commercial estates grow.

Dutch Vista

The Netherlands, Nieuw-Vennep – June 2022

Overtaking a farmer in a field next to the motorway. The Netherlands is as flat as a pancake here, and imagine a sea level about six meters higher than where we are. Well we are used to it. Lens Artists Photo Challenge #203 for this week is ‘local vistas’.

Over

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – May 2022

At times the incoming traffic for Schiphol gets annoying. Especially when it is cloudy. The limit for approach is 600 feet here. They do create graphic images at time. That is a small benefit.

Over

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2022

North West winds mean a lot of planes coming in over our house. Every 90 seconds. Between 1000 and 800 feet, making their approach on Schiphol, 20 kilometers away. The sound is annoying at times, but they do deliver nice images.

Au clair de la lune

The Netherlands, April 2021

This week lens artists photo challenge is ‘that special place‘. The moon is a big inspiration for stories and songs. The Dark Side of the Moon is a brilliant album by Pink Floyd, Mad man Moon on Trick of the Tail by Genesis, R.E.M.’s Man on the moon, Moon over Bourbon Street by Sting are some of them. And of course a French folk song ‘Au clair de la lune’. And the moon has impact on our lives on this planet: the moon causes tides on seas, and apparently has impact on the menstrual cycle.

Where Cows Once Grazed

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – August 2021

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#162) is ‘all about the light’.

This artificial lake used to be meadow. The lake was created by dredging sand, that was needed for roads, new build areas and a railway line. And now it is a recreational area, Klinkenberger Plas.

This will pass

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – August 2021

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#162) is ‘all about the light’. This Summer is what it is, not the best one we had. Grey, cloudy, rain, and from time to time some sun in between.

Sky Blue

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – August 2021

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#162) is ‘all about the light’. Maybe not a photo you would expcect when it is about ‘light’. But it is. I always love reading quotes from people on blogs, but I am too lazy to look up this one. Someone said: photography is painting with light. Which is true basically, glass, metal or later film was made to be sensitive to light to store images. Sensors do the same, but we are not aware of that process. Just the result.
Last weeks I was looking at the sky more and more because a friend (I call him a friend even though I have not yet him personally for our first beer) Andy Townend ‘shoots a sky a day’ on his Facebook and IG account. A sky with clouds is a painting in light. I long to see blue skies, it is too wet and grey this Summer.

Evening Clouds

The theme for this week Lens-artists challenge #154 is ‘one photo two ways’. These clouds I shot at dusk. I was curieus what the iPhone would do in low light. These are four shots of the sky. They vary on zoom/frame and one I adjusted the light measuring. So two times two.

Couple

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – May 2021

The theme for his week Lens-artists challenge #150 is ‘Let’s go wild’.
Near our house there is an artificial lake created by the need for sand for infrastructural building. The sand was used to build a railway and as a base for houses and roads. On the banks is big nest box for Sand Martins. They come all the way from Africa and normally hatch in steep river walls. After creating their offspring they move back to Africa. In the setting sun they play in the sky, chasing each other.
