Together with Wim Boon I once again visited the beautiful Vallée de la Hoëgne in Belgium in autumn. We had a blast photographing the flowing river, surrounded by all these amazing autumn colours.

Part of the album Autumn Days at Vallée de la Hoëgne, where I hope to see many more autumn days

Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

It's not an illusion! It's not photoshopped. In the background is a circular light! i thought it would be a really good idea to frame the yellow rose right in the middle of the circle of light! Really draws the eye to focus straight on the head of the rose. Hope people like the idea

Spiral Stairwell, Wellcome Gibbs building, Euston Road, London

I took this award winning photo of the 10-story spiral staircase in the Lighthouse in Glasgow, Scotland. I took photographs from both the top of the staircase and underneath. I preferred this photo from underneath as it emphasizes the graphic lines of the spiral. Glasgow, Scotland. B&W Gallery Collection. jaeatwitsend2016 #topten 2/10

Prismacolor art markers on archival paper.

In 2009, an intuitive told me: "You are an artist. If you don't do art, you will die." This surprised me no end because, in my family of origin, my sister had obvious talent and was labeled "the artistic one." Though I enjoyed art, I'd never before identified myself, or been identified by anyone else, as an artist. Immediately, knowing nothing about art materials or technique, I bought some art supplies and started making art. This is one of those first efforts, a series of mandalas. Interestingly, in studies of children's artistic development, the first shapes they express, across cultures, is the circle. So I suppose, in the mandalas, I was recapitulating the stages in my own artistic development. The circle shape had quite a grip on me. Hard to say whether I was making the mandalas, or they were expressing themselves through me. (In this one, I left a little 'escape hatch' in the upper left quadrant.)

The Bernos fountain in the town of Saint-Laurent-Médoc in Gironde.

Circular in shape with ferruginous waters and an arch at the entrance which could represent a door, this could suggest that Druidic and Celtic rites must have taken place around this fountain.

Legend:

Healing virtues are sometimes attributed to it, According to legend, a fairy returns at fixed times to the source, in which she quenched her thirst during her earthly existence?

Another legend: a princess, who fell into the fountain, drowned there, and her red hair still remains on the surface of the water.
