    Bo has become part of our family

    Bo has become a permanent member of our family. After Hitch’s euthanasia, I was completely out of my mind. The house was no longer my home and the garden was empty and dead without the unconscious presence of a dog. That’s why I started fantasizing about an older shepherd dog who would undoubtedly feel at…

  • A winter walk on the island of Neeltje Jans

    A winter walk on the island of Neeltje Jans

    Despite the fact that it is midwinter in the Netherlands, it was 13 degrees Celsius with a warm sun in the province of Zeeland.Everything was covered with a green layer of moss and many of the blackberry bushes had been mowed away by “Natuurmonumenten” with large heavy machines.Way too much nitrogen… Purslane grows very well…

    Headwindcycling, the Dutch Championships 2022

    It was pouring rain when I arrived this morning. Within half an hour I was cold and wet to my skin, despite the (not waterproof) rain gear. I’ll show you the photos that I took anyway. Fortunately, my photo equipment withstood the rain well, thanks to the good protection that has been carried along in…

    Dutch Championships Headwindcycling 2022

    Tomorrow will be the 2022-edition of the Dutch Championships Headwindcycling! The last edition was in December 2018, which seems a long time ago … I’ll be there … with my camera! A couple of photos I made in 2018, as a reminder … The weather forecast is bad for photographers … lots of rain!

    camera repair

    One of my cameras is broken. The Canon 70D kept getting an “error 80” message. Fortunately, it is a known and recognized issue at Canon and is currently being fixed at TechRepair. So, for now, I have to make use of my other cameras … I hope repair won’t take too long as I’m already missing the camera body…

    Happy 2021

    December 31, 2020 made a last walk under the Zeeland sky … Let’s hope that we as humans will get more real attention for nature and each other and give each other the opportunity to act accordingly. The little pinprick that the natural environment has given us with COVID-19 is a good way to make…

    a short velomobile ride

    I went cycling for a few hours … And when I got home there was still no president of the United States of America. The current one is telling so many lies on television that I no longer dare to call him president. For me, the worst part is that apparently half of the USA…

    I was lucky today

    Today I haphazardly started cycling in my velomobile. According to the weather forecast, it would not rain until 5:00 pm, but my entire ride the dark clouds threatened to release their many water sooner. Incredibly nice weather for taking pictures, but due to the fact that I had left my hood at home and cycled “convertible”, I was…

    Walking the dog, Corona-proof.

    Today I was as good as the only one who walked his dog on the former work island Neeltje Jans.

    Fortunately today it was dry once, at least without rain. So I was able to walk my Sandwalk for a while, together with Marjan and the dog.
