Another bike trip to paradise

Another bike trip to paradise

Yes, we live in a paradise here at Hilversum in the Netherlands. Let us state it full of gratitude. With some wonderful countryside around, heath, woodland and polderland! Wherever you go, to the north, the east, the south or the west, you will find places which can tempt the photographer. But he/she must have an open eye and not dream of other continents. Beauty can be so near! If only it is not taken for granted.

The other day I was talking to a guy, being impressed by a lightplay on some waterscape and saying: “Wow, is not beautiful?!” The only thing that poor chap could answer was: “Well, should it not be a bit more? You know, when I was in Brazil this spring …”

What can one do about blind people?

Once again this shot was taken near Lage Vuursche, lying about 5 miles east of Hilversum in the biggest stretch of woodland here in the area. And after you have had your walk, you go and have a Dutch pancake in the little village. But do not do so on Sunday!
