I added comments on every image to offer some background. Any observation from your side: more than welcome ☺. Enjoy!
Three activities that have played an important part in my life have come together in this website: photography, web design and my love for English (I'm not trying to be perky here, I chose to translate my website into English as most of my visitors are non-Dutch speaking).
Photography is what makes me tick. I noticed that my work is getting more and more abstract. Inspired by having visited more museums in the past five years than in my entire life? Most certainly. Changed because I am getting older? Definitely.
With techniques such as ICM and blur aided by post-processing I try to make images that are different and grab the attention. If they don't, I am truly sorry. But there's also plenty of tradional photography. Don't worry.
Every year we have a family meeting and the same tradition says a beautiful and colourful bunch of roses will be on our table.

Just before landing at Schiphol Airport, the plane crossed the Noordzeekanaal, flying over 'Westelijk Havengebied' Westpoort to land at the Zwanenburglaan. There were 24 passengers on board and I had a nice chat with one of the air hostesses.

Just to celebrate my page on Tenerife has gone live, I posted this picture of seven years ago: a beach in a secluded part on the windy west coast of Tenerife.

This rowing boat must have changed owners a couple of times.

Once this creature smelled the ocean, it broke loose, came straight to me and whizzed past, pink leash trailing behind it.

Couldn't help it, this one was about to fly right over me. Saw it coming. Angel-like being. Single shot.

I can't get enough of them, these sea gulls. Today it was all quiet, no bickering, no fighting, just enjoying the sun.

Pleased to meet you. And this turf is mine.

Gracious as some flowers can be, delicate colours, pronounced shape, this lily is a fine floral sculpture.

So difficult to catch, these seagulls are shy and fast. I captured all of them at Lanzarote. Follow the link below if you want to see more of these creatures.

This dog is apparently a hunter, ready to fetch what its master has caught or shot.

Paws hardly long enough not to sink into the sand, hugely enjoying itself on the beach.

Abandoned barns in an agricultural area in Lanzarote, high up in the hills.

Which appears to be the name of this hen. Beautiful creature, doesn't make any sound, a star in just sitting there and doin' nothing. I republished this picture of 4 November 2020 as it is featured in the Textures issue of AbstractAZZI.

Fountains of spray, deafening sound when the winds are easterly and the waves are crashing on the rocky coast.

There's a Platanus x hispanica near my favourite coffee bar. It's more than 30 years old and its roots have absolutely nowhere to go: it's asphalt, cobblestones, the expansion of the coffee bar that keeps the rain away from its roots. And it shows. Its bark is a painting.

A grey sky subdued the colours of this image. The white arches look like a flock of sheep, but they're houses in the shape of the movement I made. Shutter speed 1/8 sec, F/45, 300 mm, ISO200, full frame, unfinished circular movement.

This boat needs a capable pilot that leads it to quieter waters.

Especially when the sun is on and off, you get great contrasts in the volcanic colours. But today was cloudy and the shades get even more subtle. The ICM makes the village look like little sailboats.

Near Mala there's a ridge of volcans with colours that are even captivating in the rain. I shot this from the car with my side window open and got wet nevertheless.

If you have reached this point, you're a real diehard ☺. The menu above leads you to more pages which all have the latest entries at the top.
Below you will find the most recent posts in my Instagram feed (that you can see without an account); clicking will show them in a new window (then you do need an account). To avoid a sloppy presentation in their three-to-a-row grid, I made them them all square. It does feel a bit like a harness. But sometimes I use the concept for a triptych.
Please leave a like or a comment there if an image appeals to you, as you can do using the link in the footer using the review form. I would really appreciate that!
