Counting Rotors

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2024

Normally I occasionally see air ambulances or police helicopters, but I assume these are not civilian helicopters.

Spring Sunset Skies

Skies can be amazingly dramatic these days, sometimes aided by a whiff of Sahara sand in the mix of light and clouds.

First Terrace Sun

The Netherlands, Leiden – March 2024

Red Lights

The Netherlands, Leimuiderbrug – February 2024

No one seems to like these circular wonders, created to keep traffic circulating and flowing in a safe fashion. Especially when they are red, a circular red or an arrow for direction. For lens artists challenge #290 Circular Wonders.

Sunrise

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest- March 2024

Sunrise on the J.H. Oortbrug for lens artists challenge #290 Circular Wonders. What is most the biggest wonder? The wheels or the sun? It is the first photo of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Rain/Reign o’er me

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – January 2024

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.

Glass

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – February 2024

Going for Gold

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #288 is ‘window shopping’. Most of the time it is an activity associated with shop displays. I take a different angle, and use windows to shop for something new.

Light

The Netherlands, Voorhout – January 2024

This week’s Lens Artists Challenge #287 is ‘Sound’. The road is busy, the sound of cars is in my ears as I try to frame this mill against the sunset, trying to avoid a car in the frame at first. Then zooming out and coming back to the road I ended up with this one, showing the lamplight and the cars coming and fading in the distance. This is the last in a series of four of Windmill ‘Hoop doet leven’ in Voorhout against the Winter sunset. The first three in a list in order of publication:

Flying Blues

This week’s Lens Artists Challenge #287 is ‘Sound’. Seeing this incoming flight immediately gives the association of its sound. The memory provides that information instantaneously. The image pleases the eye, it is not necessarily the ears agree.
