Colors of Fall

Autumn leaves disappear quickly in the Netherlands. The frequent strong wind at the coast can sweep the colored leaves from the trees in a wink.

The pictures were taken in one of the parks which were preserved because they were hunting reserves of the nobility

Some people still live in the park. This is their video security, which films the public road outside their garden. When I took a picture the owner objected. I replied that the camera films me, so I guess I am also allowed to take a picture of the camera….

A Surreal Scene

I’ve been taking a photography class for one of my fun class electives, and our most recent assignment was “envision the surreal”. This was a fun project and my idea for this image was to demonstrate how books are a form of escape and can lead us into entirely different worlds. I wanted there to be a contrast between the dark and colorless scenery in the background and the colorful landscape coming out of the book. Enjoy!

Just in one Day – Photos from Nov. 18, 2021 – taken at the Rogge-Mountain-Ranch

Just in one Day …, Tule Fog fills the San Joaquin Valley, as is typical for the season, but once in a while mountain ridges turn into islands in the sky amidst the fog ocean.

Island in the Sky

Just in one Day …, the setting Sun casts magic colors over the Valley.

Sunset’s Magic Colors

Just in one Day…, we could observe the longest Lunar Eclipse in 580 years. Not that the duration of the Eclipse did matter to me. Rather, those clouds were playing around, leaving once in a while an open gap to observe the Lunar Eclipse.
