This week LAPC #260 is ‘overlooked’. Taking the word literally, one from the film archives. One of the ponds in Les Tuileries in Paris, looking at the small arch and the Louvre.
About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. Some of them are partly retouched but most do have scratches, dust and stains.

June was a beautiful month full of sun and warmth. July was less, let’s hope August has some more blue skies for us. This week LAPC #259 is ‘unbound’.

Swallows in the sky, reminding of an old song made very popular by Joan Baez but in its origin it is a yiddish folk song.

This week LAPC #254 is ‘spiritual places’; I use an old photo that I also published in October 2021 of a little chapel in Naxos that could do with some tender loving care for lens artistists challenge #168: seen better days. I edited it with a lighter atmosphere and took out the most obvious dust and scratches this time, so if you want to compare, here is that post.

I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. Some of them are partly retouched but still, like most of the archive, do have scratches, dust and stains.

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.

One of my most loved moments is the sight of apple blossoms in Spring. This was early Apri.

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.

The weekly lens artists challenge #242 is ‘new experiences’. A month ago we had a partial public space power cut, the streetlights of a part of the neigbourhood were off for an hour and the moon showed its grace beautifully. Power inside the houses was still there. Power cuts are fortunately rare, and this one was quite a nice experience! This is a bicycle coming by.
