An approach of any plane over a motorway strikes me always with a little anxiety. Not it will crash but the opportunity to have a nice shot at it.

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

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

To our surprise we found this duck sitting on a nest, hidden in the grasses of our front garden. Finally ten little chicks came out.

A few weeks ago I published a photo from the same point of view, but with basking sunny weather. This one is showing an overcast day, in the middle of the week. The previous one was shot with iPhone13promax, and this one is iPhone15promax. Spot the differences :-).

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #292 is ‘People here, there and everywhere’.
I do not know who took this photo, I do not know the date. We assume it is just after World War 2, May 1945. And we assume my father took it. The photo lacks focus unfortunately, but that adds to the thrill of figuring out what is on it. Luckily we could ask the youngest sister of my father (my last aunt still alive); she thinks it is taken just after the war.
There is a parade on the street, observed by people; among them the sisters and brother of my father from the top window of my grandfather’s house (called Weltevreden) where my father lived. The point of view is from a window of the house where my mother lived, and where I would be born 14 years later.
The negative is quite poorly and damaged, but a sweep through Lightroom and Snapseed provided this old memory.

I started documenting the Magnolia, taking a photo a day from the kitchen window. Here is the second gallery.

The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #291 is ‘Cityscapes’. The first sun got people out to enjoy the rays while having a drink on the junction of the Oude Rijn and Nieuwe Rijn in Leiden. On the right De Waag, the weighing house.
