This I like so much. An evening of complete relaxing. The lights in the living room are dimmed. Some candles are lighted. A concerto from Bach fills the rooms. A wonderful mood… Marion was reading, but by now she is sleeping on the couch. A nice sight. She is fallen into a deep sleep. You…

My newest play thingy…..
Although it isn’t a real play thingy… It will be rather useful to me! Anyway, I always wanted to have a drawing tablet for my computer. Specially after someone showed me how handy such a tablet can be with processing pictures. Oh sure, everything is also possible with a mouse. But with such a tablet…
My Photo-site…
People who read around here more often may remember that I used to have a photo site. I have taken this site down some time ago because I wanted to update the site to Gallery 3 (Gallery is the software on the site that I use for displaying my pictures). Another reason was that the…
Turning bad luck into a step forward…
Let me first apologize for the lousy picture, but it was made with the most awful compact camera and I am too tired/lazy to do some Gimp-magic on it. But… As I told already, I dropped my DSLR camera last week by accident. This with the result that the 18-55mm lens that I have was…

In the beginning I linked pictures I wanted to have on my weblog here directly from my Flickr-account. But…

“Fort Aan Den Ham”
Yesterday morning I was planning to visit the Ruin of Brederode (a ruin of a castle near the town of Santport Zuid). The idea was to make some nice pictures there. Just before I wanted to leave the phone rang and I was asked to come along with the Dutch Nikon Club (of which I…
Finally it is done :)
Finally after almost then a year working on it, I have my own photo-site online. Well, the first little bit of it :). There were many reasons why it took so long… my new job, just having less time, problems with the web-software, certain private matters and some more things. But here it is… I…
Beautiful, but deadly
Today I made a very nice picture of a “bird of prey”. While making that picture some thoughts wandered my mind… When a human kills it mostly out of greed, hate, revenge or some other very negative emotion. Or maybe it is at times worse when the reasons behind killing are religion, politics or profit….
