Melt

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2021

The theme for his week Lens-artists challenge #145 is ‘getting to know you’. A phenomenon I know my entire life is the weather. However, it still has it surprises, ice rain on a Spring Day?

About Rooftops

The Netherlands, Rotterdam – October 2020

The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #117 is ‘A photo Walk’.

Last week I had to kill some time in Rotterdam near the Central Station.
Just behind the roof of Central Station is Delftse Poort. Until 2009 the highest building in The Netherlands. The five highest buildings in The Netherlands are all in Rotterdam.

Sunset over the field

The Netherlands, Katwijk – May 2020

The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #97 is ‘pastimes’. 
During the intelligent lockdown we can make short bicycle trips to have some excercise and see the beauty of nature bursting out in Spring. Yesterday I posted two motor powered parachutes against the sky. This is taken from the same viewpoint.

Sky Trip

The Netherlands, Katwijk – May 2020

The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #97 is ‘pastimes’. 
During the intelligent lockdown we can make short bicycle trips to have some excercise and see the beauty of nature bursting out in Spring. These two pilots take it to a higher level in their favourite pastime. Zooming in with the iPhone 11 Max gave this almost paint like rendering of the sky.

Trail

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2020

Normally the sky would be filled with them on a clear day: the trail lines of aeroplanes on high altitude flying over.
In Corona times hardly any are visible in the sky.  It is much quieter, the skies are much clearer.

Road Barrier

England, Upper Heyford M1 – July 2019

A road barrier for road works, separating tow carriage ways on the M1 forms a nice robust foundation for a rolling landscape, driving by in a car.

The theme for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #60 is ‘framing the shot’.

Experimental Skies 3 (Africa)

The weekly theme is ‘experimental’.

During a short holiday in the South of Spain we had an apartment with a breath taking view over the Mediterranean Sea. Using a long lens made the view even more fun. The effects of light, water and sky were quite surprising.

Elemental: Water (Chatsworth)

This weekly theme is ‘elemental’.

This is one of the most known old country manors of England: Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, from the top of the Cascade.

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.

Chaos: Sky Blue

This weekly theme is ‘chaos’.

Chaos in the end results into an order of something new in a different form or shape. It is about flow and freedom to play and create and destroy. For me clouds fit that picture especially when they tower over us as giants looking down on our flat land.
Or race it on the wind in Autumn, or slowly hover lazily as in Summer. In my head I can always hear this song looking at clouds in a blue sky: Sky Blue by Peter Gabriel.

Cherry on Top (Clouds)

This weekly theme is ‘cherry on top’.

The Netherlands are a flat country. Horizons are low. Sometimes you have the luck to cover up a scenic photo with a beautiful cloudy sky. Especially when your are driven in a just purchased new car. No cherries here though.
