Greetings from Diemen NL #19

-Castle in Diemen-

(Often when I go out into my hometown Diemen, the somewhat sleepy suburb of Big City Amsterdam, I take my camera with me. I try to capture accidental beauty and sometimes unplanned alienation of the banal aspects of the everyday scenery. I started to do this from 2004, the year we came to live here, at first in black and white, from 2006 in color.)

Stay put and travel. Meanwhile the spring landscape is flashing past. Sitting in a train is a form of meditation. Photograph: Morges-Yverdon les Bains (CH), 5/4, 7.50 pm. A.D. 2018 is a selection from photographs I made during 2018.

Sometimes I feel the urge to give way to the more romantic part of my soul. I wander around my hometown Diemen and see idyllic scenes that fiercely strike me between the eyes. Then I just have to take the pictures. And I like them.
