Focus on shape. Colour contrasts don't count and creating shades of grey does. More than 50, by the way. Not funny, I know.
Seen at Kunsthal in Rotterdam, beautiful design..

From whatever side you look at it, the proportions and shape of Erasmus bridge are just right. Quite inspirational.

Apartment block boarding the river Meuse, massive, expensive but with great views.

Painstakingly sharp is this etch of a natural pond surrounded by reeds, which Huisman had printed over and over again to gain more detail. And now I made an ICM of it ... I apologise sincerely. Exposure 0,7 sec, F/4,5, ISO200.

We're glad the museums have opened up again. These curtains separate the various decades of Salvador Dali's work.

Subtropical plant with an utterly intriguing texture and shape. Its natural colour is also subtle, in this case I decided to bring it back to its basis.

The trees alongside the street where we live still look a bit lifeless, especially on a bland day like today. It's an ICM image of 6 seconds, F/32.

A bit further from the surfspot at Famara beach where it is hot and happening, there's Playa San Juan. Mostly deserted and offering a stunnning view on the unknown islands of Montaña Clara, Alegranza and La Graciosa.

At the very tip of Jávea's port, Costa Blanca, there was a restaurant with its terrace only separated from the Mediterranean by a wall. We had a lovely lunch. Great to watch the sea go wild here, which it had obviously done the year before when a freak wave completely demolished the restaurant. The spot is unique so it was rebuilt, and guess what happened in the autumn of that year ... it is off the map.

It's a simple image but I love the greys in it. I was also lucky that the sun came through for just a second. It gives the waves some texture.

You would go there, if only for its name. Bit of a small beach, really, I didn't expect much of it, especially on a cloudy day. But look at these volcanic rocks. Fortunately it was completely deserted. Seems a fave spot for naturists.

Although the lilac, purple and beige colours are unique to this mountain ridge, converted to monochrome the shapes and shades come to the fore.

Sand, water, barks, I know: they are my favourite themes. It's the rythm and the texture that make images such as these appeal to me.

The brilliant idea behind this Calatrava creation is that close by, you get the idea you're looking at a gargantuan ladybird. Once you zoom out, which you can do if you go one level up, you see it is the head of a whale whereas a building behind it presents its carcass and the bridge behind that one makes the tail. Breathtaking. For a coloured specimen see the eye below.
