Today had typical Dutch December wheather: dull, grey, chilly and …. foggy. Fog is always an opportunity to create a special atmosphere in a photo. I went to an area near Wageningen called ‘Binnenveld’. Here you can find this long lane bordered by these huge poplar trees. The fog makes the lane disappear into nothing and it seems the man and dog are walking towards the end of the world…….

Last saterday I was at the NP Sallandse Heuvelrug, a hilly ridge created by a glacier in the forelast ice age. Every part of the area inherited its shape from the forces of ice some 150.000 years ago. When I walked there, it was freezing cold and hoar frost was everywhere, making me feel like living in the ice age. There I saw this shrub of Common Juniper, a very old one, that had partly collapsed. From its side the branches were still growing and creating new shrubs, offspring of the deceased parent.

Cheer,
