    Fietsers verdienen een gratis oversteek!

    Vandaag een stukje gefietst met Marjan … maar eerst even bij een flyer-actie geweest van de Fietsersbond bij het fiets-voetveer in Vlissingen. Lang, heel lang geleden was ik ook nog een tijd actief bij de Fietsersbond in Vlissingen. Dat was nog in de tijd dat de Westerscheldetunnel gegraven moest worden, ergens begin jaren negentig. Natuurlijk…

  • Zeeland nature in January

    Zeeland nature in January

    It has not frozen much in Zeeland this winter. The little nature that is left is claimed by “natuurmonumenten” and treated and maintained as a garden with native plants. The rivers are heavily polluted with polycyclic hydrocarbons, poly- and perfluoroalkyls and other pollution. It doesn’t matter for landscape photography, because it’s pollution that isn’t visible…

    The weather forecast was correct; rain showers !

    Especially with this type of weather it is great fun to take beautiful pictures. Although it is important to protect the expensive equipment against too much moisture. But … if you are too protective, you will miss the most beautiful moments again.

    unmistakably Vlissingen

    It was the fall of 1984. Our oldest daughter had just been born. If you live here and take a walk together, then the Vlissingen area is undeniably present in your photos … When I look back at the photos I took myself in the past, my thoughts wander back to the time of falling…

    Vlissingen, 1984.

    In 1984, the year in which George Orwell foresaw a totally different world, the Vereniging Nederlandse Loodsen Sociëteit existed for 100 years and that fact was celebrated exuberantly with all kinds of festivities. At the moment I am digitizing my old negatives from that year 1984, because our society has now come to resemble the…

    one of the simplest photo stories of all times …

    The well-known story about grandchildren and their grandparents, but also vice versa … about grandparents and their grandchildren. The story seems the same, but seen from old to young is a very different storyline than from young to old. Physically only holding hands is the same … The story of living and passing on ……

    The advantage of a lot of rain is that there are many varied skies!

    Yesterday I walked the dog again in Vlissingen-Oost, looking out over the Westerschelde.

    the beautiful clouds called for a ride

    I am terribly annoyed by all the commotion surrounding the US presidential elections, corona measures, saving the neoliberal economy, exploiting the environment and many other things that are all important. Today, the clouds invited me to take a ride in my Quest. So I put on my in-ear speakers, put on some quiet blues music,…

    a short ride to see if I still feel my muscles

    Today I was briefly in my Quest 552 to let my leg muscles “talk” … They told me that I cycle far too little. I replied that I am now 64 years old and no longer have to win races … I want to relax a bit more while cycling. They understood. While taking photos,…

    Just visited my former workplace.

    It was storming, it was raining and it was cold. But the dog had to get out and I thought: Let’s go to the monument and let everything blow in the wind … I think it’s fantastic that apparently it was possible to put an old “slakkenpan” next to the monument. Ton Witte could have…
