Spring Narcissus

Spring Narcissus, sprouting out of the earth. 

Spring is coming, and how better can you see that when we do have some very nice Narcissus coming up, still inside the house but soonish as well outside. 


At least I know that I'll be planting them outside if they have passed their time indoors. 
Have a great weekend,

Fresh snow snow

 

Snow snow snow..

 

 

The first snow from the year have fallen again and just in time to let everyone enjoy the beautiful landscape.. 

It's as well the time to that everyone is uploading new pics from beautiful winter landscapes on Flickr, Like me. But I also just wanted to give you guys an idea on what kind of Winter Photography you can have..  so I just wanted to give my opinions and shots to share with you.. 

Both are close ups, what I prefer when shooting in industry zones, cause they create their own entourage.. 
what do you think??

Winter and snow shooting, close up or on a distance?? panoramic.. ??

Have a great shooting time..

B&W Office Furniture

B&W office furniture. 

How does your office look like? That's always a very  important question among all office workers.. 
Everyone has their own style of course and everyone is happy with their office, but just wanted to let you guys now about our office details.. 
I like those pictures because they're abstract and have something to say about the place.. if it's full of light or not.. 
Enjoy..

Travelling: The beauty of Honduras

 

Travelling: Beauty of Honduras

 

With the latest problems in Honduras it's easy to forget about a very important part of the country, the tourism.

It is indeed one of the poorest countries in the region and South America but it's plenty covered with beautiful spots all over the country. I would like to invite you guys to explore with me the beauty of the country and the persons within the Gallery I linked to this Blog post on Flickr. 

Travelling in Honduras: Tegucigalpa

The capital of Honduras, Tegucigalpa, is build upon many hills and very steep hills sometimes but it's definitely a very interesting place with sometimes a tremendous difference between the old classical Spanish style and the latest buildings from western companies whom are using low wage workers to make their products.

Travelling in Honduras: Caribbean coast.

If you go towards the coast you come to see the rolling green hills with the local flowers before you get to the Caribbean sea. This is when you get to the beautiful blue colored sea with the islands just a short boat trip away. 
The local population is very charming and welcoming to tourists and are happy to share with you the beauty of their country. 

Do you have a Honduras travel experience? Please share it with me in the comments.

French Pharmacies

 

French Pharmacies

Just saw the other day this picture in my library and every time I'm always intrigued. 

I don't know, but it gives me always a very warm feeling to see one. It looks like one out of the old cartoons where it still is like it used to be during the beginning of the 1900... 
So I would like to introduce you this edited photo from a french pharmacy, made in a cartoonish style image. 

Let me know what you think, 

Cheers Jaap Willem

Amsterdam Street Images

Amsterdam Street Images.
The following images are a few images I took during the car-free Sunday in September in Amsterdam.

It's really nice to see that the people took their living room to the street to make a statement about the use of the streets.
True, normally the weather ain't that good that it's possible but still, it's great. I think it's as well about the spirit in Amsterdam that when there's something going on, the whole city center is enjoying the party. Anyone who have been at a Queensday knows how the party can be.

So I would like to invite you guys to this small selection of edited images from Amsterdam and the living room on the streets. At the end we always have the blue cushion to sit on, isn't?? To enjoy the beautiful sight over the Canals.

If you are in Amsterdam, just try to stroll around and enjoy the spirit of the city, you'll be positively surprised.

Typical Amsterdam City landscape

Typical Amsterdam city center landscape.

So, about 2 weeks ago we went for a weekend to Amsterdam and it's always really nice to to stroll around in the city center taste the ambiance of the city.
Even though it was only for a day, the other day we went to the Zaanstreek, we had a great luck with the weather and the fact there where very few people around.
This is the moment I took this picture from one of the Grachten, canals, with the typical view from Amsterdam with the bikes on the bridges, the canals and boats..
Hope you guys enjoys this picture and stay updated for some new images from Amsterdam I have up my sleeve :) somewhere ;)

Panoramic landscape picture of the Zaanse Schans in Noord Holland.
This picture is made from various others pictures to produce at the end this panoramic one.
I was standing on the windmill itself, very funny indeed...
