    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…

    Requiem “The Flood”

    January 27, Marjan sang the requiem “The Flood” written by Douwe Eisinga in the Zeeuws Concertkoor in the Vlissingen St. Jacobskerk. As an amateur I took some pictures, doing my best to be as inconspicuous as possible, not to get in anyone’s way, not to make a sound and not to disturb the requiem… So…

    Last weekend there was a festival at NoordBeveland near Kortgene. It’s the “Endless Island Festival” 2022. We have experienced two days of this fun relaxed celebration. There was a lot of music, food, art, culture and … nice people! I made some photos … have to wait till next year …

  • 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…

    second ride this year …

    It is clear that my condition has deteriorated rapidly. I have to do a lot more mileage with my velomobile … So I started today again with good intentions 😉 But as always I bring my camera … the sun was shining, but it was a bit foggy and cold and you can clearly see…

  • Vlissingen, 1982.

    Vlissingen, 1982.

    It was 1982 and I lived in the center of Vlissingen. It was cozy, simple and always busy with tourists who came to the coastal town and port city for the many cultural events. Many pubs, restaurants and terraces and along the beach many beach bars … There was a lot of employment, fair earnings…

  • Vlissingen, 1984.

    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…

    old sailing ships on the Oosterschelde

    analogue photography has something mysterious in the current digital age … the realization that I took these photos some 40 years ago makes me feel like an old man … I think it’s fantastic that there are still photographers who make their photos analog, although I notice that the technique of the darkroom is often…
