How many days in a year?

January 15th, 2013

Seeing that it’s the 15th already, and my previous post was over 10 days ago, I think we can safely say I’m not doing a 365 this year. I could still do a 350, or a 300, but that’s not quite the same thing. So, I’ll just not give it any name, and just get on with it.

Yesterday it started snowing. First a very thin white dusting in the morning, but in the evening it was a lot more, and I took a few pics out of the window in the middle of the night, just for documentation – not a blog post. Also shot a few seconds of video, to see the movement of the flakes. Pausing the video gave a nice effect to that movement, so I took a screenshot of that. And that made me want to post it:

Maybe this is the first photo of another 365, maybe it isn’t. Haven’t decided yet! :-)

Autumn in the street

November 17th, 2012

Sometimes you don’t have to go very far to see the beauty of nature and light.
This one was not edited, only cropped. Taken with my iPhone, as I turned into my street returning from the supermarket.

Of course, cropping was essential, here’s what it looked like without the benefit of a zoomlens:

Obviously, the real thing was way better – but maybe it’s good we can’t capture the real thing; we’d stay indoors all day looking at pictures instead of experiencing the fleeting beauty that comes and goes with the seasons.

A day at the beach

September 16th, 2012

Last week Sunday it was surprisingly sunny and warm, so we decided to go to the beach in Scheveningen.

Summer update – August

September 8th, 2012

In August, we went to Venice!
It was quite busy, and very warm. So we spent three days of our week at a really nice swimming pool, not too far from Mestre, the mainland part of Venice.
