Finally the first of the shrubs are opening their buds and carefully showing the first leaves. The trees, however, are still in a winter mood and not showing yellows, greens or reds. They are showing off their great narlene branches. Against the backdrop of slightly lighter trees, it works great to see only the main character in this picture.
All my pictures are for sale in various materials and sizes. So if one of my pictures isn't yet in my shop, send me an email via my site, and we can work it out together.

Perhaps you already know the #Netherlands is as flat as a #pancake. Yet this photo was not taken in #austria or #switzerland or even #Iceland. What you see in this photo is actually a waste mountain. A the moment I took this shot, they still used it, but allready made preparations to make it a recreational place. It already hosted several cycling races, like the Dutch championship in 2020 and 2022, the European championship cycling in 2023, the Tour of Holland in 2025, several MTB-races and national sprintraces, and many more to come.
It was bloody cold back then, with low temperatures and hard wind. I try to make the picture with that feeling. The scenery works well with it.

Sometimes there's not much interesting to photograph. But by still going out, you can find some new compositions to remember to come back for. For me, this is that kind of shot. For now it's not really interesting, but it could be in the right circumstances.

Currently, there's a huge difference in temperature in the Netherlands. The region where I live is below zero degrees and in the south it is already 9 degrees and feels almost like spring. A temperature difference of more than 10 degrees in just over 200 km. So they probably can't understand how I could make a photo like this today

In the north of the Netherlands we consistently got a cold stream of cold and clouds coming from the cold east. We barely saw the sun in January. And now the snow has already melted away, taking pictures during a cloud-covered sky is really hard. So all the light I can get, and put this in the picture. It was really, really hard to get this picture to work. Do you agree?

Hello everyone, I want to celebrate a year on Pixelfed. A year with all kinds of challenges. I came from Instagram, but was looking for an app that isn't so pushy. That's what I found here. So I can proudly say that I'm here to stay and keep posting all new material. For this year I've even got some greater plans. I will share it with you, so keep my account in focus, to find out what it will be.
I want to thank all the people who take a moment to view my photos, put some positive comment with it, and who are following me. This I really appreciate!
Normally you'll find only nature photos here, but for this special occasion I put a photo of myself here. It's a local spot where I love to come and take photographs. So from this spot, once more, thank you all!
