I have been off line for a while, I was on holiday in Sweden. In my next blog I will present a photo from this magnificent country. This week’s photo was taken accidentally, by pushing the shutter too early, while the camera was moving. Normally I create these images deliberately, but the result is not always this satisfying. I like the softness of the colours and the reduced contrast. Although there is no focal point, there is still a balance in the photo, which makes it pleasant to watch. Nice for a large print on the wall……

Cheers,

Niels

My neighbour is a fanatic amature entomologist. However he is not traveling to national or international hotspots to find rare species. No, he is dedicated to his local patch, let’s say a cirle with a 200m radius around his (and my) home. The sheer numbers of different species of beetles, moths, bees, wasps and other creatures are amazing. He has found several species new for the region and even for the country. This means that even around our houses in the middle of The Netherlands, there is undiscovered biodiversity, waiting to be unveiled. Here, during the night, he is taking photos of beetles attracted to a white sheet and a strong light.

From 22 July till 13 August I will be on holiday with my family, during which I will not publish any posts.

Cheers, Niels
