"Don't just learn, experience.
Don't just read, absorb.
Don't just change, transform.
Don't just relate, advocate.
Don't just promise, prove.
Don't just criticize, encourage.
Don't just think, ponder.
Don't just take, give.
Don't just see, feel.
Don't just dream, do.
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just talk, act.
Don't just tell, show.
Don't just exist, live."
(Roy T. Bennett)
Don't pretend. Be.
A different experience in every season: Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens are exquisite, tranquil and inspiring all year round. Different footpaths, cycle routes and horse trails will lead you – with or without the aid of a forest ranger – through the beauty of one of the Netherlands' most unique areas of nature. There are no less than 80 fens in this stunning green expanse – pretty impressive, right?
Four seasons
Whether it’s the frozen fairy-tale fens of the winter, the dynamics of nature coming to life in spring, the musical croaking of frogs in the summer, or the explosion of colours in the autumn: Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens are a feast for all the senses.
Spot kingfishers, deer and roe deer, or bear witness to the wide variety of insects and water creatures in the fens and ditches. And after an exhilarating day of activity or sport, head to one of the large terraces to enjoy the peace and quiet and a tasty snack, lunch or dinner.Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens Groot Speijck Visitor Centre has a great terrace, as does Boshuis Venkraai. And both are ideal places to relax and soak up the surroundings.
Love's no pressure
When it's with someone who tends to
All of your emotions, don't you
Want someone who's there for you
Want someone who's there for you
Love always feels better when it's true
Love tastes way too bitter when it's you
I'm all out of love, you gave it away
I'm hoping that experience can get you to change
I'm hoping that experience can get you to change
I'm hoping that

Making their way east through the popular Byers Canyon just outside of Hot Sulphur Springs, UP coal train CSVJA navigates the tight turns through the rugged landscape.
Another Halloween and another collaboration with Gwyn. As usual, I am asked to do a photograph but with little else given, so I show up and suddenly I am chased by a deranged witch, with a knife!
Such are the moments of SL.
Mali Bay, latest addition the Sky Tower, model from the movie Oblivion. Up there you can test out your space outfit, relax inside the Sky Tower, enjoy drinks from the tables, watching your favourite stuff on the TV screen (YouTube connected). Dancing is even possible up there.
Then take a look around Mali Bay, a mixed land fun, relax at one of the beaches, swim with sharks, underwater experience, for photographers, there is the Backgrounds platform..
Another journey into the world of manual focus — this time with the TTArtisan 100mm f/2.8 Macro X2 lens on the Canon EOS R7. Handheld shot, using natural light.
Aperture f/5.6, shutter speed 1/320 s.
The star: likely Hycleus polymorphus, exploring a flower dusted with pollen — like a child smeared with biscuits. A second beetle peeks from the top right, but neither was in the mood for a double portrait. 😉
Technical challenges:
Even the lightest breeze can nudge the subject out of focus.
Nature is always moving — insects don’t pose for long.
Distance estimation must be done instantly — no time for refocus.
Aperture selection is crucial to balance sharpness and dreamy blur.
Despite all this, the experience was excellent. The lens feels solid in hand, responds well to light, manual settings are intuitive, and the images are sharp. In tandem with the R7, this manual lens has become my go-to companion for walks in nature.
...with the summer wind.

Digital Art,

I've recently watched an interview with Salvador Dali where he was stating that all his artwork are based on his dreams coming to him 10 minutes before he was fully asleep.
Dali learned over time to take control of his lucid dream state and with that, he mastered accessing his subconscious and used what he had found in his act of creating. Of course, the way he materialized what he found is truly amazing as well, in any ways, all his artwork are now fascinating manifestations of one man's creative mind, ideas and experiences, for all of us to see and wonder about.
This all made me think, this 10 minutes time period of lucid dream state, mystical space before we all are fully gone somewhere else; I cannot help noticing a parallel notion happening in the way nature behaves just before it awakes or falls asleep; the most unexpected, wonderous and profound events, colours, particles, sensations are seem to manifest themselves in those couple of minutes of lucid dream states of nature, just before it all settles again.

“Semi lost place“ shopping mall with almost all shops abandoned. It is housing an art exhibition for two months at present. The beach scene must be part of that - or a remnant of the bankrupt travel agency?
