Sunset
Lens Artist Photo Challenge #250 (hurray) is ‘Cloudscapes or Skyscapes’.
Living in a land flat as a pancake, makes one used to see a low horizon and lots of sky. Hence we do not pay too much attention to it probably, if it’s blue it’s fine, if it’s grey there is a lot of grey. The only exception are sunrises and sunsets. They can be majestic.

Mill at Night
A bit of a ‘a bit of this, a bit of that on a junk pile shot’. Molen De Valk in Leiden, the entrance of an underground parking, a lamplight and a building crane. Still there is some magic in it.

Flower Fields
The Netherlands, Voorhout – April 2023
At this time of Spring the bulbfields deliver their richness and beauty in rows of flowers, stretching over the land like post stamps. Living in this area of The Netherlands for a long time, this is quite a ‘normal’ event. I try to remember the first time I saw it as a child, being amazed by the perfume and splendour of the fields, just to keep me appreciating it as it should.

This week LAPC 243 is ‘it’s tricky’. Lots of tricky things.: a cold day, a cold sea, a cold dive. Snapping on the iPhone with zoom, tricky and a bit cheeky.

Red Field
The Lens-artists challenge #197 is ‘rule of thirds’. The rule of thirds is a rule of thumb how to compose images. But a photo that creates a journey of the eye can also be made by using lines and colors. Even when the horizon is not on 1/3.

A Kind Request: Stay Out of the Fields
Each year the growers of bulbs try to keep the public out of the fields. If people enter the fields there is an imminent risk of diseases to the bulbs. It is impossible to patrol all fields so soft tactics with signs are being used. And some growers have volunteers to address people who do enter their fields. But in the end it all is depending on the behavior and goodwill of people. Unfortunately some think a field is public space. The other day I heard an anecdote about this ‘freedom confusion’. One day a grower saw a family enter his field, passing by at that moment. He noticed that the car of the man was left open. So he sat in the car. The man ran from the field to his car asking ‘what are you doing? this is my car!’. The grower just replied: ‘and that is my field you entered’.
