At sunrise on the marshes at Blakeney. The weekly theme for LAPC #237 is ‘bringing softness’. I pulled the camera following a flight, coming in towards the rising sun, and here coming into the light.
Here is morning flight 1, here is morning flight 2. And if you follow my blog you have seen the photo of the same flock after they passed the sun ‘winter sunrise over the marshes’.

Right now the coast at Katwijk is work in progress. Sand is dredged out of the sea, pressed through tubes and added just before the beach under the water. 5,5 cubic meters of sand. Making it safe again and compliant to standards. As always Rijkswaterstaat does an amazing job.

The weekly theme for LAPC #237 is ‘bringing softness’. Softness can be achieved in processing a sharp photo. Or just use zoom on an iPhone and do not keep it still while pressing the shutter. It gives the softness that makes this beach view interesting.

England, Holkham – January 202
The theme for LAPC 234 is ‘messages’. The dunes and the retreated sea create a wonderful open space that connects land, sea, sky and men. A space for stories, dreams and desires.

There are stories of the man in the moon, man on the moon. But here the moon seems to be part of the head of a man.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #211 is ‘what is your groove’. Basically I enjoy looking around, up and down till something strikes me as interesting. A wonderful way of looking around is during bicycle hikes. This small old windmill is next to an old transport canal from Haarlem to Leiden, and the railway Leiden to Haarlem. I shot it ‘passing by/en passant’ so the framing may seem a bit odd (and yes, it was safe to do that at that time 🙂 ).

This is the railway bridge across the Hollands Diep, in the delta of the South West of The Netherlands. Shot from a riding car, so a bit soft in focus.

The views of the landscapes are taken from the car in the passenger seat. And sometimes that leads to seeing surprising objects in the front of the picture. LAPC #209 is surreal.

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.
