This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#164) is ‘Looking Up/Looking Down’.
This is the garden of castle De Keukenhof, which as the name gives away, provided the name for the famous bulb flower exposition the Keukenhof. There is an extremely beautiful set of Dahlia’s flowering in the beautiful garden. A pleasure to explore all different types of Dahlia’s.

This artificial lake used to be meadow. The lake was created by dredging sand, that was needed for roads, new build areas and a railway line. And now it is a recreational area, Klinkenberger Plas.

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.

Bretagne has one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. I love the rocks and the breaking water. A dangerous shore for sure, but a beautiful source of inspiration. Here a part of the marked entrance to the port of Saint-Malo,.

My inspiration for photography is triggered in any place I am, just looking around, looking for the things that strike my eye. One of the maybe peculiar subjects is tombstones or graveyards. Colleville sur Mer, Margraten, Père Lachaise or a little village graveyards in England. They all tells stories about life and people who lived those lifes. In my ‘archive graveyard’ you can find some examples. This is the graveyard at the parish church of Tideswell.

My inspiration for photography is triggered in any place I am, just looking around, looking for the things that strike my eye. It can be near home in the garden, on the road to work or during travels. In the latter case it helps that all I see is new, so my curiosity is raised a bit more than when I cycle the well known route to the station. This dog was waiting patiently for the return of the boss at the post office in Tideswell.

The harbor of Barfleur, a small village in the West of Normandy. Years ago I had an idea to sell postcards from photos I was shooting. It never came to reality. This would be a pretty one I think.

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.

The gorge of the river Tarn in France, looking right from the Point Sublime (if you turn this around you have the English translation). This view point shows the Tarn in a splendid panoramic view. This is the right side, yesterday I published the left. This area of France is the lowest populated part of France. Small roads, beautiful nature, nature.

Near Selçuk in the west of Turkey, one can find the excavation of Ephesus. This is the Marble Road, looking down to the library of Celsus at noon on a very hot day. The negative is damaged, but it was one of the first times I dared to trespass because the contradiction between past and present was that stunning. In 1983 Turkey was ruled by a regime of generals, and taking photographs of anything military was forbidden. The young soldiers passed us going down the hill, and I could not resist to take this photos in this ancient setting. Quickly and a bit nervouws, so I did not pay too much attention to properly measure the light. But I have the photo and I got away with it :-).

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.

The theme for this week Lens-artists challenge #154 is ‘one photo two ways’. These clouds I shot at dusk. I was curieus what the iPhone would do in low light. These are four shots of the sky. They vary on zoom/frame and one I adjusted the light measuring. So two times two.

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.
