old negatives with many fond memories
The rising fascism and the putting of the human economy above the natural pandemic annoys me terribly. Modern digital social media has destroyed the human capacity for news gathering, consultation and collaboration. To put things into perspective, to find a bit more distraction and to get through the current long dark winter evenings I took

Happy 2021
December 31, 2020 made a last walk under the Zeeland sky … Let’s hope that we as humans will get more real attention for nature and each other and give each other the opportunity to act accordingly. The little pinprick that the natural environment has given us with COVID-19 is a good way to make

autumn colours
You’re lucky when you can appreciate the fall colours as part of your life … when it seems so natural that it grows in your backyard for free and automatically. Because it happens for free and by itself, too many people don’t give it any economic value … but I feel rich with this pop
