The area here around Hilversum really is a cyclist´s paradise. So I do 98 per cent of my trips by bike. in the course of time you will see quite a number of paths. This one actually is not an official cycling path, but rather a small road, but its special atmosphere tempted me to share it with you today already, knowing that quite a few of you like my misty shots. For those who might think we have mist here in the Netherlands all the time, let me tell you that we only have it on a few days, as there is far too much wind for mist on most days. But I have made mist photography my special hobby in the past years and must say that I enjoy it tremendously. So I try to go out whenever there is such a day. To be able to share some of this joy with you is a great boost for my photographic work! Actually this is again a typical Sunday morning shot. While fewer and fewer people go to Church here at that time, more and more go out into nature, walking, cycling, horse-riding, boating … So if you want a really quiet nature world in this over-crowded country on a Sunday, be home on Sunday morning at 9 am at the latest. When these guys chased along me, it was already two hours beyond that safety date! Near Maartensdijk, 23rd December 2007, 11.03 am / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18 – 200 mm at 200 mm / F 8, 1/250, ISO 200

I have cycled on this path under these majestic high beechtrees ever so many times in the nearly 30 years that we have lived at Hilversum. Going on from here you just have to cross a bridge over a busy motorway, and then paradise begins! / And while I upload this, I get a strong feeling that it is time to get out on my bike again.

The Hague, central station, January 2009. Due to reconstructions the parking area was moved. / Below you can read the sign “forbidden to park any bicycles”. / One cyclist thought that parking was no problem, when he fixed his bicycle to the pole. / Like in a western, the construction people hung the cycle high as punishment. Picture taken with my mobile phone Sony Ericsson C702.
This photo is part of a park bench made from all different bike parts. I will upload more.

I’ve done some ruthless purging and housekeeping on my work represented on RB. I feel that the remaining core selection of images are better representative of the direction I currently love doing (though not necessarily favoured so much) and some work that have been well received by a lot of RedBubblers before. My apologies if I have removed images that you have favoured before, but a full and regularly updated portfolio of my other work can be viewed here More of my work If anybody is interested, for whatever reason, in any of my work represented there, please feel free to contact me through BubbleMail or on my portfolio site directly. / Many thanks to everybody taking a regular interest in my work. Your support has been very inspiring, as is the stunning body of work that is represented on RedBubble. Best regards / Mike de Lange
