Noctilucent Windmill

A midsummer shot from a night when there was a beautiful display of noctilucent clouds. I love it when these fleeting shapes of ice crystals, high up in the atmosphere, suddenly appear some time after sunset.

Soon, a few photography friends and I will be presenting each other our best shots of the past year. And with selecting your best shots, comes the dismissal of the ones you really like, but ultimately don't make the cut. I will be sharing those shots here, in chronological order. This is number 6 of 19.

Disappearing City

A foggy morning in my hometown. The Adriaan windmill and the main church were completely shrouded in mist before, but had slowly started to appear again. This shot basically asked for a black and white treatment.

Misty Chocolate

This is the former chocolate factory or Droste. It is known around the world for its packaging design or yore, with a woman holding a box of cocoa, boasting the exact same scene, which is then repeated into infinity, smaller and smaller. You might have seen it somewhere.

Strolling along the Spaarne in Haarlem at dusk, with De Adriaan windmill (1779) in view, is one of those simple pleasures. The city’s 17th-century heart, its lively atmosphere, and easy access to Amsterdam, the dunes, and the North Sea make it a special place. A quiet moment to appreciate history and the everyday beauty of the Netherlands.

Sunset

Yesterday, we finally had a good sunset again. That had been some time, or so it felt. So as soon as I saw yellow, orange and pink in the sky, I cycled to one of my go-to spots in my hometown. This is one of the shots I took.

Teylers Museum

The oldest museum in the Netherlands can be found in Haarlem, my home town. They have a Michelangelo exhibition now. I don't know if it's because of this, or if it's a more permanent change, but since a couple of weeks, the entrance is illuminated in these three colours. It suits the building quite well, I think. Left of the museum, the tower of the Grote Kerk (or Great Church) can be seen.

Early Morning

The river was nicely quiet when I rode past here on my bike. I saw how the golden, warm early morning sunlight hit the windmill and church, and just had to stop and take a picture of this view. I love mornings like this.

Night Kayaking

These people were doing a night kayaking tour over the Spaarne river, that runs through my home town. When I saw them right in front of the iconic windmill in the city centre, I was happy I brought my camera and decided to shoot some pictures. Because of the movement of the kayaks, I needed to go up to ISO 3200 for this shot. Luckily, that's not a huge problem on full frame.
