Dit is een blog van een gepensioneerde procesoperator die na een hartablatie weer probeert om z’n hobby’s als fotograferen, ligfietsen, enz, op te pikken … maar dat lukt me nog niet zoals ik wil …

en vanaf januari 2024 zal ik in de Nederlandse taal schrijven !

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…

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)

barbaric cultures …

… are among us today. This cartoon tells it in a clean, simple, but clear way. As cartoons are supposed to do! Clay is one of the best cartoonists. It deals the discussion about abortion in the USA and is called “The alternative”. If you have absolutely no idea what this cartoon is about,…

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…

To the Provincial Government …

Yesterday, me and most of my colleagues went to the provincial government in Middelburg. We were there to ask for support for our employer. Our employer is the only producer of elementary Phosphorus in western-Europe. Over the past 100 years all small and non-profitable phosphorus-furnaces in Europe stopped producing. Only with much knowledge , experienced…
