… following his mom and dad through the sunlit fountain, and leaving a trail of light … – the fairytale continues –

(see part one in my previous blog post here)

Follow your own path, little boy

Your mom will wait for you at the other side

Sunlit fountain with trail of light

Morning Fountain Tale

Early morning in Leiden, the Netherlands. A fountain on the Beestenmarkt. Low sunlight, and some pigeons. With a little fantasy, one doesn’t need much to make a fairytale 🙂 . Feel free to add your own version of the conversation 😉 .

Fall = mushrooms time


Deze blogpost in het Nederlands (link).

 

Fall is really the ideal time to make pics of mushrooms in all colours and shapes. This year, I haven’t had much occasion yet to go out into the woods, but last year I did. So, in the hope of having an occasion soon to go for a hike with my camera to make some new fall images, here are a few of the mushrooms I made in Nature reserve the Osbroek in Aalst, Belgium – October 4, 2013

Another street shot today, but not a Dam-story this time. This photo was made on the Nieuwmarkt square Farmer’s market. Another great place in Amsterdam to hang around in the hopes of catching some nice street shots… 🙂

Title inspired by a quote of Ernest Lehman:
“After all, the wool of a black sheep is just as warm”

Dam-stories : the statue painter

It’s 1.30 am here, so it’s in fact Monday already, but in many parts of the world it’s still Sunday, so it’s all right to still post my #SundayStreetday photo, right?

I think I may start a new theme under my “Streets of Amsterdam” series: the Dam-stories… : Street shots made on the Dam in Amsterdam. – Here is the first one 😀
