  • “Zeeuws licht”

    Or,the typical light in the area where I live and work; Zeeland. It is the reason why many painters came to this land to get inspiration. I just take photos (mostly) on my commute …. a slide show opens when you click on the photo ;  

  • for sale

    The plant where I worked for many years, is shut down. The last owner went bankrupt. It is for sale since then….      Some folks are still working in the plant for safety reasons and I am one of them.  What do you do when something is for sale ? You make nice photos…

  • Never travel without duct tape

    Rob had the same experience as I had with the jacket of my bicycle chain lock. But I put a quote of Rob in practice : never travel without Duct tape ! So now the paint on my Bullitt is protected by the Duct tape around the padlock and chain.  

  • It took 24 hours ….

    …. for velomobiel.nl to deliver me a new SRAM X9 !  Hurrah for Ymte !  Normally I tend to buy local, but for my velomobile it is best to get parts directly from velomobiel.nl. They know exactly what kind of stuff you need.

  • Snow

    A lot of snow fell yesterday in the evening. That is always a nice hobby-time for velonauts !   So I made a short impression on video of my commute… Unfortunately I had to climb out of my Quest a few times, to lift it over a few snow banks. During one of these exercises…

  • family together ….

    …. and having a delicious dinner which took Marjan 2 days to prepare.

  • lifetime guarantee ….

    …. for our coat-hangers. These are in our family for a long, long time. And they’re still going strong! Just for fun I took a photo, asking myself if there are more people who collect this kind of practical “souvenirs”.

  • reunion

    We organised a reunion for the old guys of my shift.  Due to the bad situation in which our employer is trying to survive, only a few colleagues were present. But the retired all gave “acte de presence”.   Kim; thanks for your great support !

  • 15 years ago ….

    …. I started to build our house.  A slideshow shows it from the start to end.

  • XMAS

      Why Xmas and not Christmas ? Well, the next video explains it all … https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rLjHAzqqOm0

  • thermPhos

    I had a day off, but my colleagues organised a demonstration so I did my usual commute anyway, to support them. This time of the year the sky in Zeeland is sometimes breathtaking beautiful. Everytime I’m “en route” in the Quest, I take my camera with me to catch the light.   A short impression…

  • The day I lost my job …

    … I made this photo on my commute. I have to work till the end of December and all I can do is hoping that some company will start the production again. But on the same day I also read an article about the “Suffiency Economy”, wich inspired me. It’s a vision which includes Cradle-to-Cradle…

  • 10103

    I didn’t pay attention and I simply passed the 10.000 kilometers without notice. One of the most exciting moments for a velonaut and I missed it !  So I’ve done 50.000 km in a Quest. 40.000 km in Quest 215 and 10.000 in Quest 552. I’m an experienced velonaut nowadays …..

  • It’s lonely in the modern world.

    I just watched some pages of “Unhappy Hipsters” and laughed out loud. This site makes me happy, just because of the humorous text written with each photo. The photos show a space and atmosphere I definitely hate. I’m not a hipster ! Another thrilling afternoon spent playing “measure the grout.” (Photo: Dean Kaufman; Dwell)

  • bus-car-bicycle-velomobile

    Every now and then there is someone who wants to show the difference. And the idea is so simple, that it’s being copied easily. I wonder how many photos were taken with this setup … The first one was taken in the Netherlands, (I think in Amersfoort) for the ENWB. A here is a follow-up…
