    Sinterklaas

    An old Dutch tradition is the celebration of Sinterklaas. That includes eating a tasty gingerbread cake … homemade …

  • Strolling together

    Strolling together

    Strolling with your partner, wife, muse, collocutor, sparring partner, girlfriend, lover … and still, be just the two of you … I guess I am a happy man! But don’t forget our dog … every second he makes sure that we don’t get too far apart … like a true shepherd, he makes sure that…

    The best in the category “stuff on the kitchen table”

    In the “category stuff on the kitchen table”, this is a very special blog post. It is not often that your granddaughter shows her skills right in front of you on the table. For that reason alone it was a special day for me. The temperature of the ice cream was a new experience for…

    These eyes will witness the world I’ll leave behind …

    Especially now, in the year 2019, in which the Dutch politics (by becoming aware of a rapidly changing climate) reluctantly published the much-needed choices, these eyes for me have become a motivation to live environmentally conscious too. Of course, the measures are not nearly as effective as necessary. And of course, the plans are based…

    alternator broken in the Ardennes

    We just wanted to see the splendour of the deciduous trees in autumn attire and went to the Ardennes for a few days. Unfortunately, the dynamo stopped when we wanted to go back home … Fortunately, we were helped by friendly people. Of course I made some pictures that reflect the atmosphere of our walk…

    Afrikaanderplein, Rotterdam

    I wanted to photograph a performance by an old colleague, Mario, who would perform on the Afrikaanderplein in Rotterdam. But apparently, I was too late (he had already left the stage when I arrived), so I decided to make a few “street photos” at Afrikaanderplein. And Mario, ….. Well, maybe I can make photos of…

  • De meeste mensen deugen.

    De meeste mensen deugen.

    I don’t know how to translate the term “deugen” into English. There is no literal translation. Perhaps English speakers do not live with “virtues” ? In any case, I am reading this book and despite the fact that I have only just begun, it is clear that it is recommended for everyone!

    34 degrees Celcius

    The weather report said 29, but in our garden, it was 34 degrees Celcius (93,2 degrees Fahrenheit) … So, I spent this afternoon in my garden, doing nothing. Well not exactly nothing; I made some photos …

    Tourists who do not pay taxes for their place of residence …

    You can see from their boats that they have enough to pay, but the Netherlands does not yet have a tax on pleasure crafts.
