Evening

June 23 - Evening
The sunlight was almost gone (10:15 PM), but I didn’t want to miss this day, so I walked to the end of the street to make this photo. Should have taken my tripod with me, lot of noise with this ISO value.

Snail

June 22 - Snail
Found this little guy on my garden table this morning. He was still there, sleeping in his house, when I came back home this afternoon.

I’m not a snail expert, so he could be a she.

Our sugar bowl with an old, but nice spoon.

Food 25 – Old food

Food 25 - Old food
No time for real food this week, so here some food from between 1624-1627. Detail of a painting made by Frans Hals, Banquet of the officers of the civil guard of St. Adrian. Made for the “Wiki loves art” project.

Lady with rose

June 20 - Lady with rose
Spent a lot of the day with editing photos I made last wednesday for “Wiki loves art”. So for today I made a photo of a rose and added it to one of the paintings. Think she could use it.

If you’re interested: here is link to my other photos. Still have some work to do. Lost some parts of the titles during the upload.

Rain and sun

June 19 - Rain and sun
Just a little experiment. Two photos combined (15 minutes between them). Made through a window and just guessing the angel (no tripod). Upper left: lots of rain, lower right: the sun came back.

Between the rails

June 18 - Between the rails
A quick “lunch walk” photo. Would be nice to see a train or two on this one. Not much time to make comments. Lots of young people (age 18/19) got a good exam results today (including my daughter), so it’s party time in the neighbourhood for some days here.

313 years later

June 17 - 313 years later
The market square at Haarlem with the Great or St. Bavo church.

Made photos in the “Frans Hals” museum today, “Wiki loves art” is running here this month. Lot of restrictions in the museum, but it was wonderful to do. I’m not a big fan of old paintings, but it’s very nice to look at them through a camera.

On the left a detail of a painting made by Gerrit Berckheyde in 1696, on the right the situation today (on my way back home). Not exactly the same angel, but I think it’s nice to see the two views together.

This is just a very quick edit (painting is too blurry, due to noise correction I think).
