Twenty-one

Mikey trying to sleep, lying on top of Lola, our Labrador.

Twenty

This happened this morning. As expected it started to rain in the afternoon.

Nineteen

Almost frozen over, if not for the fountain. The ice is really thin actually. Coming days it will for sure melt, as the temperature will start rising to almost 10 degrees Celcius.

Eighteen

It’s the middle of December and this rose in our garden decided it was time to bloom! Nature has a mind of it’s own…

Seventeen

Had some trouble with the focus. Let’s call it art!

Sixteen

Note to self: I have to come back here looking for better angles.

Fifteen

Last week it really happened: I got my glasses. They are reading glasses, but the optician told me that in two to three years I might need glasses permanently.

This is also the first real self portrait I have taken.

And yes, I need to shave.

Fourteen

Another bokeh shot, without anything in front of the lens, but in black and white now.

St. Janskerk in Maastricht

First time ever I was in this church, and it is in my hometown… Since this is a protestant church you won’t find any decorations, meaning it is quite colorless. It was a catholic church originally however, the current church dating from the 14th and 15th century.

This HDR vertorama consists of 4 x 3 shots, handheld. Since it was quite dark inside I had to bump the ISO to 3200, resulting in quite noisy shots. I tried to get rid of it, but I’m afraid it wasn’t enough, so don’t zoom in too much!

Thirteen

It was melting already as I took this shot… And they promised us 10-20 cm of snow :(
