Austrian panorama view

Austrian panorama views are amazing!

This picture was shot during a holiday in Tannheim in Austria. It just shows that those Austrian panorama views are amazing! I really like the mountains and living in The Netherlands does not give me that opportunity. That is why I always want to go on holidays in areas with mountains. That day we made…

Pine tree needles

Pine tree needles

This picture was shot on the Holterberg in the east part of The Netherlands (see map). I really like to go for an early walk and see the forest wake-up. It is such a tranquil time of the day. No other people, winds are mostly lower during the morning, less sound everywhere and those droplets…

Sunset @ Hoofddorp Train Station

Just an ordinary sunset

This picture was shot when I was waiting for the train at the Hoofddorp train station in The Netherlands. It was after work when all the commuters were waiting for the train to come. In other words, it is always such a dull moment. However at that day, the sun was setting in the Southern…

Calm lake with small boats

Tranquility lake

This picture was shot in August 2014 when I was on a holiday to Tannheim in Austria. Tannheim is such a beautiful place in Austria and it gives me total relaxation. I have been there now four times and each time it amazes me. In the valley south of the village of Tannheim, there is…

At that moment, they were still housed in their old building on the Deutz side of the city. Now they are located just north of the city center. The entrance of that “old” building is a…

Thunderclouds and lightning in the sky

Thunder and lightning

This picture was shot [again] from my appartment in The Hague. In the middle of the night at 04:30 when a lightning show passed my window in 2014. That night was crazy with thunder and lightning! I already made this shot from an earlier blogpost in that same night (at 01:00) So I still had…

Sunrise over a misty meadow

Sunrise over the meadow with clouds

This picture was shot [again] from my appartment in The Hague. It just gives me this great view over the meadows between Den Haag en Leiden. That morning, the sun was fighting the clouds and the groundmist was floating around over the meadows. The color in the sky was mesmerizing! The blues near me and…

Neuschwanstein Castle

Neuschwanstein Castle

This picture was shot during a holiday in Austria in August of 2014. The castle is actually located in Germany, so we had to get from Austria to Germany, which in Europe, is no problem. I visited the castle once before when I was a child and it was quite impressive then… but seeing the…

Lightning storm capture

Easy flashing Photography

This picture was not hard to make. Not at all! The only thing was… it was at one o’clock at an October night in 2014. I was vast asleep at that time when suddenly I was awaken due to a severe thunderstorm. With no time to think, I grabbed my gear and set up to…
