Every year in the southern part of the Netherlands
we celebrate " Vasteloavend ".
Of course there are people who like it and people who don't.
Of course there are people who just go out and look and people that take part.
And there are people that take pictures of all that's happening.
Any combination of the possibilities is a possibility . . .
So let me just say " Alaaf" as they use to say during the Vasteloavend.

See you after the Vasteloavend!

Nature

  What we’re doing in the Low Lands? Just living with its troubles and happy moments. And of course enjoying the weather when it’s fine. Long walks in the forests, enjoying a drink and a meal afterwards, then life is good. Anyway for us that is. Of course we take a camera with us and I’m happy to join the results. Please keep in mind that I’m not a nature or wildlife photographer and that I like to walk as light as possible. So, no big camera, no enormous lenses, no tripod. Instead a small camera and a not so expensive zoom lens.  But no longer talking, here are the results  . .  Stay healthy and optimistic, it’s good for all of us.

Fair from above.

Image
I've probably mentioned it before, but I have a soft spot for the fair. The colours, the sounds, the smells, everything, I don't know what it is about, but fair, yes, I love that.  Not to sit in the bumper cars, not to eat cotton candy, but just to stroll around the fair, that's what it's all about for me.  And today I got the chance to view the fair from above.  So enjoy! Stay happy and healthy and enjoy the nice things in life.

The Carnaval is over

The carnival is over. . . And because we like it and are still in the Low Country, we celebrate it, so on to Maastricht. And how busy it was, much busier than expected because the weather was not good.  But Carnival in the rain remains, maybe a little wetter than planned Carnival. Stay healthy and optimistic, even when the Carnaval is over . . .
