LONELY

I’m still there. Terschelling of all places! Never a dull moment. The weather is always with you. Especially on the islands. The weather is changing fast. I made a walk to the end of Terschelling, called ‘de Noordsvaarder’. A vast area of sand and water where you will not encounter anyone.

Fire flares from Vlieland appear on the horizon. It was a journey that took all day long. Away from everybody. Splendid!!

ENJOY!

ANCESTORS

Sometimes you can find something about our ancestors. Also at Terschelling, one of the most wonderful islands of De Wadden in the Netherlands. I liked the clouds of this day and the gravestones of the old days. Black en white gives an extra dimension as it refers to the old days of photography.

ENJOY!

SHE-SEA-SEE

‘There she stood’… a lyric. There are several statues at Terschelling, but for me this one is the winner of all. At the seaside she is looking over the sea. Nothing prevents her from staring at sea. Even the seagulls that daubed her. Thinking about….? I don’t know, but imagine ……

ENJOY!

RAIN

I met the rain at the beach. More exactly: I met the beach after a rainy night. There I saw the sand, the lines in te sand. A wonderful pattern has been made during the night. I love rain at night. Especially when lines are made by the weather. This time I went to the beach of Terschelling. A wonderful place to be.

ENJOY!

FISH

Today it’s time for fish. For beach actually. This time I have been at  one of the ‘Waddeneilanden’ of the Netherlands.  Terschelling near beach pole eight. Just beside the beach tent over there.

I found a fishing basket en liked the color against the bleu and white waves. Waiting for the wind in order to get the exact composition for it and the reflection in the water.

People of Terschelling are well known for beach combing. Just after stormy weather or spring tide they look for everything that has been washed up. They sometimes try to sell it.

ENJOY!

WOOD

“All wood is not yet lumber”, is a Dutch saying ( I hope I translated it well). Anyway this is wood. One of the decayed trees of the National Park I yesterday mentioned. During a hot summer you get hard shadows and lots of whites.

ENJOY!

ANCIENT

Ancient and new together. During a bike ride on ‘De Hoge Veluwe’, one of the National Parks of the Netherlands, I saw this old tree in the middle of the sand plain. Some new treed (about 30 years old) were growing in the neighborhood. All to see when you take for free a white bike and go along the paths. It’s quiet over there; even when lots of tourists are companion you. I cut off the above so it seems like a big spider.

ENJOY!

STRINGS ON THE MOVE

A long time ago I discovered my neighbour playing bass. An enthusiastic musician provided a great demonstration of his art during half an hour. I moved around him trying to get that spectacular shot of ‘strings on the move’. My flash took care of the ‘frozen’ strings while his right hand was ‘on the move’. Both we liked the results and now I have the honor to show his well-trained fingerings as he regularly does in public.

ENJOY!
