Waiting for Spring
A grey morning with fog in Winter. If the pandemic learned me something, it is that you do not have to go far to find beautiful items for photography. I can not wait to get out in the world again, but this is 500 meters away from where I live, on route to the supermarket. This week’s theme for the Lens Artists Photo Challenge #184 is ‘Travel has taught me’.

Red Stone Window
The weekly LAPC (Lens Artists Photo Challenge) #183 is ‘memorable events’. One of the ‘themes’ I always look for is ‘windows’; all kinds of windows, showing different styles of houses, culture and local weather.

Rusty Window
The weekly LAPC (Lens Artists Photo Challenge) #183 is ‘memorable events’. One of the ‘themes’ I always look for is ‘windows’; all kinds of windows, showing different styles of houses, culture and local weather. This is Cordes sur Ciel in the south of France. As all photos on travel, they keep memories alive.

12.10
The weekly LAPC (Lens Artists Photo Challenge) #182 is ‘interesting objects’. This is the front of the city hall of Caylus. The clock and the shutters caught my attention, together with the deep blue sky.

My First WordPress Photo Publication
January 2008 I joined WordPress. This is the first photo I published on WordPress. A taverna in a hamlet in Greece. Quite obvious what struck me in this picture: all men, all apparently in thoughts. What is going on?

Lights
The theme for this week’s Lens-artists Photo Challenge #176 is One image/one story. That theme matches the subject of my photo blog: What’s (in) the picture? Finding stories. Photo’s tell stories. My story (what made me click my shutter), and the story of the spectator, as I wrote earlier.

At the moment there is not much Autumn colors to be seen in The Netherlands, so one from the archive near Heimbach.

From the archive: Izmir 1986
This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#164) is ‘Looking Up/Looking Down’.
Again one from the archives. This is an original color film, turned into monochrome. I can not remember what camera I used for it, it must have been a simple point and shooter. The bland color photo turned into a lively pattern of monochrome tints. This is a part of Izmir, near the old Kadifekale, a hillcastle on Mount Pagos.

From the archives: Chania Crete 1992
This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#164) is ‘Looking Up/Looking Down’.
Again one from the archives and hence monochrome. In August 1992 I visited Crete and old town of Chania. The old lighthouse in the old harbour.

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#164) is ‘Looking Up/Looking Down’.
Again one from the archives and hence monochrome. In August 1992 I visited Crete and old town of Chania. This was the view up to a very appealing roof terrace.

Shoes
This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#161) is ‘feet and shoes’. Trying to find something that fits into this theme was difficult. I am not really into shoes or feet, let alone photos of them! However, I found one. I think. During a visit to the bi-annual photo exhibition at Naarden (FFN) in 2007 I shot these photographers clicking away on a just married couple.

Don Quichot the French
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #159 is ‘Postcards’.
In Domfront in Normandy they show old knights and medeaval games to tourists in Summer, in a superb backdrop of the old town. That delivers contrasting images.

Samos 1983
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #158 is ‘Along back country roads’.
The airport of Samos is just near a beach. Luckily there were about two flights a day. The backroads of the Greek islands are the ferry services between them.

La Défense (Blocs)
The theme for this week Lens-artists challenge #157 is ‘getting away’.
La Défense is a big, modern office area in Paris. I remember my teacher for French saying she did not like it at all, too modern, on the old axe of the Champs Elysées and Louvre. Years later I was curious about the area and went there on a long weekend trip, hoping for some nice images. Feeling small between the buildings of big companies, rising high up over the skyline of Paris. An alienating place, where human size did not seem to matter.

Delft over Bridges
The theme for this week Lens-artists challenge #153 is ‘Wonderful World’.
Delft, like other cities in the West of The Netherlands, has an extended canal system, that was used in the past for transport. Lots of little bridges connect the city streets.

Delft
The theme for his week Lens-artists challenge #152 is ‘Shadows and Shades’. Delft was the first city I visited since we went into the pandemic. It is a beautiful old town, famous for pottery (Delft’s Blauw/Delft Blue), the painter Johannes Vermeer and the fact that here William of Orange was murdered. The light was stunning on this warm and sunny day, it reminded me of the South of France.
