April 29 (April 24).

It may look like Hawaii on a quiet day, but the picture was taken at the Dutch bathing resort Zandvoort on a rather windy day. Zandvoort, 15/4/24, 2.58 pm.

That why I always use post processing: to emphasize and intensify the awareness of Time, Light & Space.  I was cycling around along the Dutch countryside and was struck by the intensity and the strength of Light and Color.

Het land langs # 23 (Along the Country Side # 23)

It was the last real summer’s day of 2013. At least in Holland. The wind was from the South East. I went for a bike ride along the dike between Lelystad and Enkhuizen. It is a dike through The Ijsselmeer, a huge inner lake in the northern part of Holland. The dike is about 30 kilometers long. Just sitting on the bike I felt very small in the enormous blue space.

Time & Space turned into just one dimension.

I just love the strangeness of (almost) empty coastlines.

UP: This was made from an artificial little hill. Yes, it’s my bike in the left corner underneath.

The only way to get here is on foot or by bike. Standing the this top one is overlooking a former sea. It’s right: God created the world, we Dutch created our country from the sea. Flevoland_Hanzestrook. 2013/05/17 5.31 pm

MIDDLE: Passing this spot it was a bit like being on another planet. But No, it is Holland, Polder Flevoland. Flevoland_Hanzestrook. 2013/05/17 5.43 pm

Het land langs # 19 (Along the Country Side # 19)

Last Sunday I cycled along the ‘Hondbosse Zeewering’.  It is a seawall against the North Sea. Very strange place. A soon as I arrive at the strip of asphalt at the foot of the I was blown in my face by the enormous space. (You have to enlarge the images by clicking it. Otherwise you could for instance easily miss the seagulls in the right upper corner of the first image.)
