I can’t stop smiling when looking at this picture and I keep thinking what was the pigeon thinking when I was taking the picture. The tilted head can mean: 1) What’s up, Doc?; 2) What are you looking at?; or 3) Hey, what camera is it? Isn’t this pigeon a funny fellow? I have noticed …
Scary seagulls
I sometimes try to compose photographs in such a way to make it look dark, mysterious, even scary. But sometimes such decisions are made in the post-production process or both. Birds can create this great scary effect in a picture and not only Hitchcock’s black crows can do that but also white seagulls – this …
When dark clouds take over the sky
This is once again a picture taken in Gdansk, Poland during my winter 2009 holidays but this time a little dark, scary and mysterious. My father took me to Wisloujscie Fortress (you can read about it here ) on a beautiful but very windy day. There was a watch tower used to observe whether any …
Swans in Winter, Poland
Another delay with posting new pictures and another apologies. It has to stop soon! I should start posting new pictures on time, few days after they were taken the latest! But I can’t do much about it at the moment as I’m really busy with my day job and with various photography projects and assignments. …
A lion in a pussycat’s skin
Life itself is a lifelong learning process (and wikipedia doesn’t have all the answers for that anyway ). When you think you have experienced everything and everything happened to you, then surprise happens and that applies to various experiences and people we meet. It’s just a quick thought, not particularly connected to the rest of …
Where are you going, lady(bug)?
Sit back, close your eyes and imagine a beautiful sunny day, nature, forest, birds singing in the background…. Great feeling, isn’t it?! Unfortunately, summer is over, at least in the Benelux area. Chilly, even cold, days have come, it was even snowing in some places. Well, I guess it’s time to start thinking and planning …
It was hot in the Netherlands!
In case you wonder why I haven’t put anything in the past week- please look at the topic: it was hot! Actually, it was extremely hot in the Netherlands. My thermometer recorded a magic number of 39 Celsius degrees (around 102 Fahrenheit). No wonder my brain went into sudden security shut-off However, I can’t complain …
Delays, traveling and back to work
You’re reading this post when I’m already back in the Netherlands from my holidays in Poland but I write this text waiting for my airplane at the airport. I was hoping they would have free internet access here but, as you can imagine, I’ve been disappointed. Anyway, I had great 3-week holidays in Poland – …
Run Through the Jungle
Whoa, thought it was a nightmare, Lord, it’s all so true. They told me, “Don’t go walkin’ slow, ‘Cause Devil’s on the loose.” Better run through the jungle (…) Finally, I spend few days away from a noisy city, away from the office, away from crowds and away from busy streets. Oh yes, nature, countryside, …
From the Attic: Sun, cool breeze and a cup of coffee
Sometimes all you need for full happiness is a sunny Saturday morning with cool breeze, a cup of coffee and birds singing – today was such morning for me. I don’t know why but for some reason it brought me much happiness. It also reminded me (for some reason which I don’t quite understand) my …
From the Attic: Belgian Countryside and my new photography motto
I think this photography portfolio will soon turn out as a combination of a portfolio and a blog, Why? Well, I have found much more pictures ‘from the attic’ (taken with my old camera(s)) and I really have nothing special to write about them. Sometimes there is no story to tell about a picture, maybe …
From the Attic: Vineyard in Maastricht
Who would expect to find vineyards in Maastricht? For those of you who don’t know where Maastricht is: it is in the south of the Netherlands. So what’s so amazing about vineyards in Maastricht? Well, that they exist at all here! It’s neither the warmest place in Europe nor with lots of sun. I actually …
