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.
Every year there’s an Elf Fantasy Fair in Haarzuilens near Utrecht (NL). This year it was also being organized at the venue of the Castle Gardens in Arcen. Naturally we went dressed in our renaissance costumes and had great fun. Although it is very difficult to do some serious photo shooting while you are part of the parading itself, I managed to make a few photo’s which are presented in the gallery as usual.
Every now and then you must do something extraordinary in your live. Since we were always interested in fantasy fairs and medieval related kind of festivals we came to the conclusion it was time to dress up and visit the Castlefest in costume. All clothing we wear is self-made by my wife. Actually she’s becoming a pretty good clothier.
Sometimes you get lucky, and you win a free ride in a balloon. On a sunny winter day we headed to Amersfoort and helped preparing for take-off. I can tell you, ballooning is a unique experience. Thanks to the Pilot (Peter Barlo) and his crew (Gerda en Piet Pool) the flight (more than an hour) was smooth, but exciting. I can recommend the website of Dutch Ballooning, and Peter’s website.
The Dutch are famous for their seamanship. Also their is a rich history in shipbuilding. Once a year our shipyards open their gates and people are allowed to go backstage and peek in the world of ship building. I paid a visit to Damen in Hardinxveld-Giesendam and Merwede in Gorinchem. More photo’s in my gallery (Damen, Merwede). these photo’s were taken with my new Fujifilm s100fs.
