What&#039;s (in) the Picture?

Looking from the back of the train on the tracks.

About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish in – an originally – small series. That series caught on a bit more than I thought. All of them are not retouched yet. Scratches, dust and stains are not removed.

A Good Match: Safety and Infrastructure

The Netherlands are continuously working to keep water out. Here in Katwijk the dunes were made wider to strengthen a soft spot. The boulevard is further away from the sea but the new space also made room for a parking garage underground.

Against the Odds: Phil Collins 1981

Michelle promised bonus points for a photo of Phil Collins, well here it is.

October 3rd 1981, Groenoordhal Leiden. Genesis is on tour promoting their Abacab album. Genesis’ frontman Phil Collins remembers that night as he got angry when the Dutch audience booed the new songs: “Just to make it worthwhile for people who like the old shit….”. (the quote starts at about 53:15).

In August 2008 he came back to Leiden when his daughter Joeley married. In an interview he said that Genesis was first booed in 1981 in Leiden, so he returned with mixed emotions. But he was joking ‘I hope the father and mother of my son in law did not attend the gig’.

‘Against all odds’ was already written by Phil Collins on the 3th of October 1981, but still on the shelf. The Groenoordhal no longer exists. And Phil Collins? He is luckily not dead yet and just published his autobiography by that title. A remarkable career in music. And a brilliant drummer and musician.

The photo is of the 4th of October 1981.
