Hi friends!

The last few months I didn't submit many deviations, but in the near future I sure will.
There are 'loads' of captures on my computer, only thing I'll have to do is select some.
But I find that very hard. But I'll try!



Hereby I announce the winners of the "movement' contest!

The 3 winners are:


First Price



Line 7  




  Second Price



Beweging

Tomorrow will be very cold!! More snow is coming from the south of Europe (France) and it's going to be very cold and windy.

I just loaded some new deviations: some of a nocturnal surprice we had this week! Late at night I went for a walk to
take pictures. It was so silent and peaceful!!  A wonderful experience.

With some members of our local photoclub we went to Rotterdam to take pictures of the harbour and the refineries there.
We first visited an exhibition in the Rotterdam Photomuseum about the works of the famous war photographer Frank Cappa.

I really hope you'll like my deviations, please tell me what you think about them!

Epson Foto Festival Naarden 2009 - May 16 until June 14 - 2009




Fotofestival Naarden (a unique fortified old town) has expanded to become the Netherlands' largest national photography event, offering Dutch professional photographers an opportunity to show tehir work to a wide audience. Although the international contributions are quantitavely and qualitatively of major importance, Dutch photography continues to provide the basis for the Fotofestival. International participation, however, opens avenues for Dutch photography abroad.

It's the oldest city in the Gooi region (centre of our country). It has one of the most original and best kept restored strongholds in the world. Reason enough to visit naarden. The city has a turbulent history and you can see all of its facets in the Dutch Vestingmuseum.

You can see the photo's in a lot of places, inside buildings as well as outside and in shops windows and gallery's!!!
Even a boat trip is a possibility!

Yesterday (on a bright summers day with a blue sky) I went there with one of my friends. We really enjoyed the town, the strongholds, the wine and lemonade, a boattrip and of course the photo's and photobooks!!!

All in all, great scope for the viewer to discover the joy of looking!

"Four die in Queen's Day tragedy
Published: Thursday 30 April 2009 12:43 UTC
Last updated: Thursday 30 April 2009 14:01 UTC

Celebrations of Queen's Day in Apeldoorn took a tragic turn around midday on Thursday. Four people were killed and 13 injured when a car ploughed through a crowd of spectators watching the Queen's Day parade. As the open-topped coach carrying the Royal Family passed, the car broke through the barriers, hitting 23 people and crashing into a monument.

The public prosecutor said at a press conference that the driver was acting intentionally, but that there is no terrorist connection. The 38-year old man is reported to have made two earlier attempts to cross safety barriers, driving at a speed of at least 80 kms/hr. The driver was injured in the crash and had to be cut from his vehicle, after which he was arrested and taken away for interrogation. No details have been released about his identity.

Police are meticulously searching the car, assisted by the bomb disposal squad and in the presence of the National Anti-terror Co-ordinator.

The Royal Family, waving to the crowd from their open-topped bus, witnessed the incident. Immediately afterwards the vehicle was driven to Het Loo palace, accompanied by security guards. The Government Information Service has announced the queen and her family are deeply shocked by the events. The flag has been lowered to half-mast at the palace.

The mayor of Apeldoorn has cancelled all Queen's Day festivities in the city. In Rotterdam and Utrecht, too, the celebrations have been cancelled, while the capital Amsterdam and other cities are toning down activities. "


How foolish can one be?
The 38 old man just seemed to have lost both his job and his house. Maybe this was too uch for him. But why do  a thing like this??
This morning we heard that the driver died last night.

We've been living in a frozen world lately! Mist and frost turned our country into a winter tale!!

:thumb107685478:

Lots of photographers took their camera to go out and take pictures of the beautiful landscape, the trees, ice etc. And so did I. I will upload some pictures I took close to where I live.

The Dutch alt violinist Susanne van Els was very enthousiast about the slide presentation we (me and 3 other members of our local photoclub) made! This presentation was projected on a large screen (3 x 4 meter) on stage while she was playing on her violin.
It was about sculptures and rain, and so was the presentation.



"Desperate" is my entry for a contest of the Dutch Fotobond. We had to made 5 photo's about one subject.
My subject is a dancer who cannot dance anymore because she ended up in a sheelchair. She was so desperate that she decided to drown herself in a pond. It's fiction. But this really happened to an elderly lady who travelled a lot until she had an operation in her back. The docter made a mistake. She had to stay in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. She got very depressed, and one night she went to a pond in the neighbourhood at night and drowned herself. This is so very sad, that I made this series to show that
people need our attention and love, so they don't have to end up like she did..........
I hope you'll like my series.
