Snow is not uncommon for the Netherlands, but it usually does not fall in large quantities … until now. At some place it was more than twenty centimetres. I believe we have to go back to 1979 to find that much. Everything comes to a grinding halt. The mail is not delivered, and the trash is not collected. People are advised to stay clear from the roads, as traffic is a mess. But the children have a lot of fun, as they celebrate holidays now!
Imagine you are married for twenty-five years, and it has been a good marriage … how do you celebrate that? You need some horror! My sister and brother-in-law organised a horror party, and many family and friends came over to congratulate them. And all of this in Halloween style of course. More pictures are on Paul and Petra’s own server. Photo’s were taken by Tineke and Cor Straver.
While having fun at the Elf Fantasy fair in Arcen last September, we were being photographed by lots of people. Likewise, such events draw professional photographers and very skilled photo amateurs too (or I would better call them unpaid professionals). One of those (Gertjan) did some very nice portrait shooting, and you can admire more of his his work at the pixiephoto gallery. This photo just came in via email last week. I am currently trying to make this site bilangual, so it will support English and Dutch. Have tried the WPL plugin, but this requires PHP5. Switching this on cause all links to completely fail. I am now trying xLanguage, which seems to be very light and clear in respect with the impact on the core system. Hang on there until it works.
We are living in a dead-end street, meaning only one way in or out. Not a real problem, as the way out connects to a major road allowing us to go in any direction. However, if that connection would be closed, then you may take a long side-tour through the polder. And that is what they just did! For good reasons ofcourse, but it means we are more or less confined this weekend. To get an idea what is happening I shot a few pictures. Don’t you like the bright colors of the traffic cones?
On a beautiful sunny-day we went to the beach of Scheveningen with the photo hobby club to shoot some themed images. While walking its boulevard, you pass a large outdoor terrace with fairytale sculptures. These belong to the “Beelden aan Zee museum” and there are twenty-three sculptures, all created by Tom Otterness. They are so cute and photographed a lot. Here’s my take on it.
