  • At the beach

    on the first sunny sunday in March 2007 !

  • horses at the beach in Vlissingen

    Horses at the beach in Vlissingen. It was quite a mess along the coastline. The storms left a lot of garbadge on the beach. It will be cleaned before the tourist arrive, because otherwise the “blue ribbon” will be in danger.   

  • first flower on our almond tree

    This is the first Flower on our Almond tree.

  • Tony’s war, what is it good for ?

    I am glad that in Great Brittain there is a anti war movement still alive and going strong. Here in the Netherlands the politicians have made an agreement while forming a gouvernment. In the agreement they decided that there will be no investigation by the parliament for the details of the Iraq-war. So we will…

  • Neighbour’s frog

    My neighbour worked with his professional phototools on my photo. I must say that it has increased a lot in  quality ! Neighbour’s frog, originally uploaded by kosbie.

  • toads in our pond

    I counted about 11 toads in our pond. They are busy having sex, I think. Within a few days their egs will be food for lots of other animals. The offspring from these toads that survives, will come back to our pond next year. They croak whole night long; but not so loud as frogs…

  • early retirement

    A colleague got his early retirement. I made this photo with my cameraphone because I forgot my camera. His speech was very emotional and will be remembered for a long time by those present.

  • an inconvenient truth

    I didn’t see the movie “An inconvenient thuth” in the cinema, but now you can see it on google video. It certainly is an inconvenient truth, but remember; Al Gore is an American too ! I think it will give a lot of trouble in my own neighbourhood when sea-level rises. My house is build…

  • Marjan

    It was dinnertime, it was snowing  and there  was a terrible traffic congestion in the neighbourhood of Utrecht. So we decided to have a stop at the first restaurant alongside the highway. It turned out to be “Oud-Leusden”. .

  • medical check

    I get a medical check-up every year now, because I am a sort of volunteer to use a gas mask (like the fire department uses in case of heavy smoke) at my work in case of unforeseen circumstance. It is a same sort of test that sportsmen have to do. On a home-trainer with all…

  • a new microwave

    We needed a new microwave. Now we not only have a new microwave, but also a new mirror in our kitchen. So the Sharp becomes unsharp 😉

  • market failure !

    The science tells us that GHG emissions are an externality; in other words, our emissions affect the lives of others. When people do not pay for the consequences of their actions we have market failure. This is the greatest market failure the world has seen. – former World Bank chief economist Sir Nicholas Stern, 2006.
