Snow

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!

Marriage-Horror

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.

eff_pixiephoto_01

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.
