Crew on the bow of their ship

Crew of the Acquamarina waiting for their ship to leave the Harbour of Terneuzen.

Butterfly on grape, macro

No flowers for this butterfly. It sat on a cracked grape and remained for hours!

Railroad in black and white

Railroad in Clecy, France.

Bonifacio Corse

The astonishing beauty of Bonifacio. I could start a photography blog about this town alone!

I just couldn't stop shooting. That was a mistake... I didn't take the time to look around me

and find the right angles. But this one is nice.

Ajaccio Corse windows

I love the old colored walls and windows in Ajaccio, Corse. The late sun gives much detail.

Old rusty Renault burried in the bushes

After I took some shots of this old rusty Renault, some frenchman pulled over and stopped.

He asked if I was interested in buying it!

Dives Sur Mer

Dives Sur Mer is a small village near Houlgate.
The dark gray area is slate covering the sandstone bricks.

Rolls of hay

 

Rolls of hay, for some reason I always feel the need

to give one of them a little push...

Seagulls on ice?

A little girl who saw this shot thought the seagulls were walking on ice...

I like the dark mood in this one.

Stamens

The top of the stamens are the only sharp parts in this shot. The reds and greens are nice.

Shadows of patterns on the floor

The pattern of the holes in the chiar and the shape of the chair itself

create beautiful shadows on the floor.

Wheatered paint HDR

Wheatered paint is, for some reason, beautiful!

(when it's on other people's houses... not mine...) HDR.

Bus stop HDR

Not a common bus stop...
I used bracketing / HDR for thisone.

Waterdrops on leaf

This kind of shots, with drops of water on a leaf, have been done a million times before but I still
like to shoot it! The yellow leaf was screaming out: "look at me". I couldn't resist.

Clecy Normandy, France

 This is a view from a bridge at Clecy, Normandy in France. The reflection of the sky in the water
is what I like about this shot.

Brugge Belgium

One of Belgiums most fotogenic cities for sure: Brugge. These old covered market stands
(I believe... someone help me out...) just couldn't be resisted. I love long shadows.

Faded glory

Faded glory, unfortunately the back was no longer in the original state.

Old abbey windows, Middelburg, The Netherlands

Beautiful light shining through these old abbey windows

in Middelburg, The Netherlands.

Abbey windows

Another shot in the same Abbey

Waterdrops in spiderweb

Waterdrops on a spiderweb have been done a million

times before, I know, but I like it.

Spectacular sky

 Although it looks threatning, it was actualy very calm weather.

The clouds were just floating by.

Spectacular sky (2)

The sky kept on changing every few minutes on this evening.

There was no thunder nor rain, so we could safely stay

and shoot all we liked!

Sisters and blind brother enjoying nature

Two sisters and their nearly blind brother enjoying nature. The man said

he really enjoyed experiencing the calm surrounding. He did see shapes

and light but no detail.

Watering can in black and white

Some subjects cry out to be shot in black and white. This watering can is one of them.

Sunshades at Cabourg plage, Normandy, France

These sunshades make the beach a happy place at Cabourg plage, Normandy, France

Small flower in faded background

I think the faded background (F2.8) with its reds and greens and purple

is what makes the shot work as a whole.

Treasure hunt with a scoop-net

This child was determined to return to mum and dad, carrying some treasures

in his scoop-net!

Spectacular sky at Houlgate

 

HDR, spectacular sky at Houlgate.

Drop me on this beach, I'll be good for hours...

Beautiful streets of Ajaccio,Corse

The beautiful streets of Ajaccio are mostly in my mind, I wasn't feeling very

well when we visited this city. I would have taken a lot more shots otherwise!

Old stone table and bench

Don't know why exactly I like this one... but the shapes of the old stone table and bench

on the round plateau might have something to do with it.

Corn!

Looks crispy... doesn't it?

Spectacular skies

Spectacular skies in Houlgate, Normandy.

I almost didn't take my camera with me that night...
Can you image...

Dutch winter landscape

A Dutch winter landscape near the place were I live, Terneuzen.

3 days later the ice was thick enough for ice-skating.

Boats on the beach

I layed down my camera in the wet sand on a plastic bag to get this shot.

Old abbey sandstone brick wall

These old sandstone bricks turned green for some reason.

I don't know why. Someone?
