Shelter
When it suddenly rains in Amsterdam, people come to take shelter under our art market stalls and we are looking at a row of mute backs.
View ArticleDeserted Factory
This looked like an old brick factory; probably deserted quite some time ago.
View ArticleBookstall
We were having a nice lunch in Rome (nothing beats the food in Italy) and we had a view of this bookstall and these two people having a heated conversation.

Below this ledge in the Tiber all kinds of plastic bottles were trapped by the streaming water.

Never knew Wim Wenders was a photographer too. We were too late in Rome to see his exhibition though.

These ships are meticulously maintained as you can see here: everything has recently been freshly painted.

It was a nice crisp day when I was shooting at the harbour with excellent light.
View ArticleRain
An autumn Sunday in Amsterdam with no sunlight at all and some big downpours. This is a shot near the Art Market at the Spui: the reflection of a church on the Singel.
