Exhibition Rotterdam
Some ‘live’ shots from the exhibition started on Monday the 25th of October in the ‘Groene Passage’ in Rotterdam. This is sort of a shopping mall were they sell only organic food and environmentally friendly produced things.

Autumn mood
Another morning at Quakjeswater. I begin to recognize some of the trees and spots already after so many visits. We had a few weeks of bad weather and a lot of rain and therefore some small ponds are already visible where there were none in the summer months.

Quakjeswater, series #1
I have decided to dedicate a couple of series on Quakjeswater, a nature reserve on the isle of Voorne Putten, about 50km southwest of the city of Rotterdam. I was there this morning after heavy rainfall and i was there all by myself.

In this quiet place
Another cold winterday. I take the camera for a walk to the Bommelse gorzen between Den Bommel and Stad aan het Haringvliet. It is very quiet. Only the strange sound of geese mumbling on the shore can be heard. Nothing else. The sky is gray and passes slowly from the northeast.

Where is the sea?
A spring day out to the sea. Sunny weather when I left home. But, every so often this time of the year, a dense fog comes from the sea and covers the coastal area.
This is a place called “De Kwade Hoek” (Bad Angle??) It means something like a bad passage way for fisherman in the old days, because of dangerous sea currents. It is al large nature reserve now with dunes and small ponds. And the sea of course.

First winter day
of the season. A 5 minutes walk from home lies the so called “Bommelse gorzen”. A nature reserve. About 160 ft wide and 3 miles long it is not that large. It is one of a few gorzen on the banks of Goeree-Overflakkee.
A “gors” is silted land situated between dikes and water that will not overflow during normal flood tide.

Reflections
Sometimes you have these rare and seldom days that the weather has turned the landscape into a magical wonderworld. Frost covers the trees standing on the shore of lake Haringvliet. It is a shame that these trees were removed last year.

Thunderstorm
A warm summer evening in July. It is almost noiseless outside. No wind. The only sound you here is a distant rumble of a thunderstorm. The evening colors are shifting towards a yellowish hue. This is a very strange experience.

Some oldies. The springflowers were taken in the province of Zeeland (zuid beveland). The other two, of course, are lake Haringvliet.
