Yes, I did enjoy it very much to be out in the forest here near Hilversum again yesterday´s wonderful morning. The bright sun and the early autumnal atmosphere of this October day made a great visual impact, I find. It made me very much feel at home.

Amstedam is full of atmosphere, with plently of bars and cafes in which to meet and chat. This area is famous for its “brown” bars where smoking is allowed (in contrast to the European-wide ban on smoking). Of course tobacco is not the only substance to be found. These women were meeting outside a bar and were only taking coffee as far as I could see. Canon EOS400D / 1/400sec / f/5.6 / ISO400 / 55.0-200.0mm
I think it is time again to get out of the forests for a moment. After all, there is so much more to the Netherlands than beautiful nature. And Spinoza has been waiting so long. Not only just this shot, but much more important, for the monument which you see here. There is an older monument of this great 17th-century thinker in The Hague dating from 1880, but there had not been one in Amsterdam where he was born in 1632. It was only in 2008 that this monument was placed just in the centre of the city near the new Amsterdam townhall. The text on the monument is: The purpose of the state is freedom. Today Baruch de Spinoza is considered to be one of Western philosophy’s most important philosophers.

This morning´s sunshine tempted me to go out again, this time to ’s-Graveland, just a few miles from Hilversum, a village with a number of lovely country-houses and beautiful grounds. One of them is Boekesteijn. Its long lane is partly oak-tree, partly beech-tree. I must admit that I prefer the beech-tree part, as the beech-trees here are just more majestic. At the moment these trees still show a green foliage. Just a few dry leaves on the ground show, however, that autumn is on its way. ´s-Graveland, 12th October 2009, 10.26 am / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 55 mm / F 8, 1/60, ISO 400

I am still hoping to get a chance like this during this month. These moments are so precious, however, that they like beautiful butterflies. You have to be there just in time on the right day and with the right sort of weather conditions. Or they are gone. Even following the weather report closely the evening before you are never able to forecast the exact situation at a certain spot. So there is only the trying. Some of you might say: why try to repeat what you did before? Well, there is always the challenge of an even better result. But to be honest: it will be difficult to improve on what I managed to achieve here on a lucky morning like this one near Lage Vuursche in October 2007.

Even on a wet November morning the canals at Utrecht have their own charm. To my great pleasure I could prove the atmosphere of this wonderful old town again this morning. Autumn coloured this scene at the Old Canal, the “Oude Gracht”, in a most beautiful way. As I told you before these wharves will be restored next year. Hopefully these wonderful old trees will indeed be saved. Otherwise this will have been their last autumn … Utrecht, 7th November 2009, 11.21 am / Panasonic TZ3, 4,6-46 mm at 14,7 mm / F 4.7, 1/30, ISO 125 Here the April shot with the restoration story at greater length:

The salt trade is still going in Mali, this group travelled for 35 days and nearly reached Toumbouctou, its a very hard life for the animals but also for the men, they walk for hours non stop even during the night. When the heavy salt tablets are taken of their backs , they can way over 30 kg! the donkeys gather together in this lovely position 3 or 4 together and hang over eachothers backs, what a lovely way to rest.Mali / serie of 3 Watch this
