Starting out on a dream morning: 23rd December 2007 by

I was out about 5 hours on that 23rd December , 3 hours in the morning and 2 in the afternoon – and came home with with some 400 pics. Most of them you will never see, as I am extremely selective. But there are quite a few still which are worth showing here, and so here is another one, taken on the Horneboeg Heath at Hilversum just about 10 minutes after I had left home (we are very lucky and live close to that heath). The hoarfrost was less heavy than the day before, but it was still in good quality on north-lying positions where the sun had not eaten it up on the later hours of the day before. And there was mist which had not been there the day before.

Someone actually said to me: this day is nothing like yesterday! Why go out! Poor chap! He did not see IT!

About jchanders

As a retired historian, I have a wide interest in nature photography. No longer able to travel very much, I try to find beauty nearby. And there is so much of it! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
