"Klaar vor kerstmis." Dudok, Arnhem, Holland.
It's funny that you discover such a town completely
different, where are the possibilities where are the lovely
spots. The greatest thing is that much of the clutter is not
visible, together with your own choices it's much easier is one
way. But still it's always a surprise what your dragging home.…

"Kijkend naar de Waag." Deventer, Holland.
A old city as well, with lots of narrow streets and a huge marketplace.
De Waag (that's where the statue is looking at) is an old building
where the weight witches in the old days, Holland was quiet and authority
and many people came here and in other cities with "Waag" buildings
to let them self weight, even from Germany!
You got an certificate too proof that you weren't a witch.

"Boven water." Westervoort, Holland.

"Bloemenmarkt." Utrecht, Holland.
Especially on Saturday, busing with people
and all kind of little markets everywhere.
We had an appointment in a town nearby but I just couldn't
resist to try and capture a little scene of the big city
in the middle of our country.

"Jachthaven De Engel." De Steeg, Holland.
newspaper and news channel reported that the
low water level was quite extreme over there.
It turned out to be a little exaggerated, compared
to the harbours in Nijmegen or Arnhem.
I found a nice view of a shipyard instead, a bit complex
but a nice practice.…

"Vamos." Arnhem, Holland.
The only down part is the mud, standing up to your ankles
in the mud is very exhausting, but there is no way to get a
better composition.

"Droogliggend." Nijmegen, Holland.
(a large city some 20 km away). I already noticed that the
river levels are extremely low now, but arriving in Nijmegen
I saw that the harbour there was dry!!! And ships where laying
around, ... awesome!!
Luckily I had my little pochade with me, but tomorrow I am gonna visit
some side arms of the Rhine to see if the ships there also laying on
the riverbed, ....…

"Wat een heerlijke morgen." Westervoort, Holland.
The Sun shines not so bright and it's more often shallow
then in the summer, but the leaves and grass is still there,
compared to winter.
This all gives such a nice light, glow and atmosphere,
I just love it!

Painting boat-painters. Giesbeek, Holland.
It was just too hot to paint they said and I had to

too much.

"De wereld beneden." Loowaard, Holland.
We had a great laugh btw. because in Dutch a prop for a ship
just calls screw, ... so Titling this painting "Screw Eric"
was a bit too obvious.
Anyway it didn't turned out so well, the water wasn't so clear
as I expected and there was some wind on top of that. The first
time I saw this you could look clearly under the boat and even see
the other end of the rudder and the propeller as well… Continue
