Food Division

Recently the swan family – see my photos of July in the archive – is swimming up and down the little canal in front of the house, enjoying the food on top of the water. I will publish some photos of them the coming days.

Covered Sky

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – July 2022

This Summer the Sky seems to be a source for me. A love and hate one, incoming flights can be annoying. But clouds are magnificent at times.

Steenbergen at Sea and the Dam Buster Raid

The Netherlands, Steenbergen – August 2022

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #211 is ‘what is your groove’. Basically I enjoy looking around, up and down till something strikes me as interesting. A wonderful way of looking around is at the passenger seat of the car, riding shot gun. This is a navigable aqueduct, leading a waterway over the A4 motorway near Steenbergen in Noord-Brabant.

The A4 is one of our routes to Belgium and France. Reading the name on the aqueduct (Steenbergen at the sea) made me chuckle the first time, because the actual North Sea is more to the West. Last time passing I shot this photo. And when I made this post, I found some interesting information on Wikipedia about Steenbergen.

Guy Gibson, Wing Commander, the first CO of the RAF‘s 617 Squadron, who led the famous “Dam Busters” raid in 1943, crashed September 19 1944 with his navigator, Jim Warwick, in a de Havilland Mosquito XX, KB267, aircraft in this municipality. Coming back from a raid on Germany they crashed, probably caused by a malfunction of the fuel system. They are buried in the RC cemetery of Steenbergen.

Windmill en passant

The Netherlands, Noordwijkerhout – August 2022

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #211 is ‘what is your groove’. Basically I enjoy looking around, up and down till something strikes me as interesting. A wonderful way of looking around is during bicycle hikes. This small old windmill is next to an old transport canal from Haarlem to Leiden, and the railway Leiden to Haarlem. I shot it ‘passing by/en passant’ so the framing may seem a bit odd (and yes, it was safe to do that at that time 🙂 ).

Family

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – July 2022

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #211 is ‘what is your groove’. Basically I enjoy looking around, up and down till something strikes me as interesting. And sometimes it shows right at your door step.

Railing

The Netherlands, Hollands Diep – July 2022

This is the railway bridge across the Hollands Diep, in the delta of the South West of The Netherlands. Shot from a riding car, so a bit soft in focus.

Over the edge

France, Marck – July 2022

Mind the Barrier

France, Marck – July 2022

The views of the landscapes are taken from the car in the passenger seat. And sometimes that leads to seeing surprising objects in the front of the picture. LAPC #209 is surreal.

Ripples

France, St. Georges-sur-l’Aa, July 2022

LAPC #209 is surreal. In the north of France on the west coast, just over the border with Belgium, is a wood of pylons with powerlines. Like an army stepping into the world, over a field of ripples, in St. Georges-sur-l’Aa.

Swan Sleep

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – July 2022

LAPC #209 is surreal. The iPhone camera has improved quite a bit: this is a photo taken under a streetlamp of a family of swans, sleeping on the side of the mood in front of our house. It is 3 am, and it could be an image of a dream.
