Reflec­tions I

Location is actually of no relevance, still, I will mention on image level where I shot these reflections.


The river Waal

Stills

High water Waaldijk Neerijnen

Published 12 Apr 2020
High water. In January 1995, the situation was so precarious that one of the dykes got undermined and was pushed a metre inland. At another dyke water was sloshing over it. Yet another one developed cracks. At 21.00 hrs 250,000 people were ordered to evacuate that very night. We were among them. A nine-metre high wave was going to roll into the polder if one the dykes would go, they said. The army was called in, divers secured the foot of the dykes with rubber mats and sand bags. Volunteers did an all-nighter to fill up the holes. The dykes held and we were allowed to return five days later.

Monochromes lagoon Risco del Paso El Salmo and Mal Nombre Fuerteventura

Updated 11 Apr 2024
After three early mornings in a row on one of the Sotavento beaches, Risco del Paso at Fuerteventura, nobody around, walking for miles on wet and dry and sculpted sand, through mud and fords and innocent streams, still nearly losing my balance when I suddenly started to sink away up to my knees with my iPhone in my hands and knowing I was carrying my dslr plus two lenses on my back ... I nevertheless lost my heart to this fabulous wide beach that turns into a lagoon twice a day and time and time again offers new visual surprises.

Colourwise there is no real difference if you register a sunrise/sunset in the Dutch province of Zeeland or on the Canary Islands. The challenge is to avoid the cliche shot, up to you if I have succeeded or not.
