Weer een verjaardag, mijn 50ste. En volgens facebook heb ik de afgelopen tijd niks beleeft. Gelukkig is de werkelijkheid anders. Er zijn juist erg veel activiteiten geweest en ik ben ook erg druk geweest met van alles en nog wat.

Zo heb ik;
In de zomer van 2024 voor het eerst de 40 km route mogen lopen van de Nijmeegse 4Daagse. Dit ging boven verwachting goed. Zelfs met de minimale training (100 km) die mogelijk was. Foto’s volgen.

In mei een fotografie workshop gevolgd in Rome welke georganiseerd was door Serge Ramelli. Veel foto’s gemaakt en deze zullen ook nog wel langs komen.

Op 15 maart een nieuw huis gekocht in Duitsland. Ik ben dus nu geëmigreerd naar Duitsland, maar blijf wel Nederlander. Voor en na de verhuizing van 16 juni ben ik druk bezig geweest met klussen in het nieuwe huis.

Begin dit jaar werden de verhuisplannen steeds duidelijker, dus al druk aan het opruimen en inpakken gegaan. Daarvoor natuurlijk ook meerdere woningen bekeken, maar de huidige keus sloot het beste aan bij mijn behoeften.

Net voor een grote reis in de zomer van 2023 begaf mijn auto het. Uiteindelijk bleek er een scheur te zitten in een van de cilinderkoppen van de motor. Met veel omwegen en tegenslagen uiteindelijk nieuwe cilinderkoppen kunnen laten maken in China. Net voor de kerst werden deze afgeleverd. Dus in het nieuwe jaar tussen alle bedrijven door, samen met Marcel deze geïnstalleerd in de LandCruiser.

In november 2023 een kleine neusoperatie gehad. Dit in de hoop om weer vrijer te kunnen ademhalen. Zag er als een berg tegenop, maar is mij achteraf erg goed bevallen. Ben blij dat ik weer goed kan ademen.

Als er nog tijd over bleef ben ik voor Marathon Photos Live aan het fotograferen geweest bij verschillende marathons in Nederland. Ook ben ik regelmatig de Veluwe opgegaan om daar de nodige foto’s te maken.

In de zomer van 2023 zou ik met mijn LandCruiser een roadtrip/ralley maken, de Balkan Oriënt Express 2023. Helaas liet mijn auto mij in de steek twee weken voor vertrek. Met veel kunst en vliegwerk en hulp van kennissen een vervangende auto gevonden. Met een Volvo V70 heb ik de reis kunnen maken. Deze liep vanaf Dresden via oostelijk Europa naar Turkije en Georgië. De terugweg ging via Griekenland en de Balkan terug naar Slovenië. Hier eindigde de reis na 12.000 km, ongeveer 12.000 foto’s en 15 dagen. Heftig zwaar maar ook erg mooie dingen gezien. En de Volvo heeft zich er prima doorheen geworsteld zonder problemen.
Deze reis was een vervanger van de APOD (Atlantic – Pacific Ocean Drive) die ik al hoop te maken vanaf 2020 maar elke keer niet door gaat als gevolg van de corona of de problemen in Rusland.

In mijn werk is niet veel veranderd. Zit nog steeds bij hetzelfde ingenieurs en detacheringsbureau en heb klussen mogen doen in Veenendaal en Baarn. En op dit moment zit ik bij de gemeente Arnhem waar ik het ook weer prima naar de zin heb.

Uiteraard ook de verschillende Airborne herdenkingen bijgewoond als toeschouwer of als fotograaf. Weer veel mooie herinneringen opgehaald en nieuwe mensen leren kennen.

Tussen de bedrijven door op stap geweest met de Toyota LandCruiser Club. Of meegereden of zelf gereden. In juni was er een gezellig weekend in Bant. Met als extra toegift mooi noorderlicht. Was de eerste keer dat ik het zo goed gezien heb. Ook een mooie toertocht gemaakt door Gaasterland. Dan kom je er achter dat Friesland toch echt niet vlak is en dat daar de enige kliffen (15 meter hoog) van Nederland zijn.

En nu ga ik weer een nieuw levensjaar in. Benieuwd wat er nu nog allemaal gaat komen. Hoop alleen wel dat ik af en toe ook hier even een berichtje kan plaatsen, dan blijven jullie een beetje op de hoogte. Groetjes en bedankt voor al jullie felicitaties.

Beneath the crisp, golden leaves of an autumn afternoon, Liam, a spirited young Scottish Highland cow, saunters through a field painted in warm hues.

The Hagia Sophia, also known as Ayasofya in Turkish, is an iconic historical monument in Istanbul, Turkey. It boasts a long and storied history, making it one of the most remarkable architectural achievements of both the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. Here, we delve into some crucial facts and details about the Hagia Sophia:

History:

The original Hagia Sophia was constructed between 532 and 537 AD during the reign of Emperor Justinian I in the Byzantine Empire. Initially, it served as an Eastern Orthodox cathedral and acted as the spiritual heart of Christianity in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul).
Following the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque under the rule of Sultan Mehmet II, famously known as Mehmet the Conqueror. It remained a mosque until the early 20th century.
Architecture:

The Hagia Sophia gained fame primarily for its awe-inspiring dome, which was originally the largest in the world. Its design is celebrated for its innovative architecture and the way it diffuses light throughout the interior of the building.

Now, let's infuse some suspense into this historical narrative:

Hidden beneath the timeless walls of Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia harbors secrets that have eluded the curious eyes of countless generations. This iconic monument, known as Ayasofya in the enchanting Turkish tongue, is not merely a relic of the past; it is a living testament to the relentless power struggles and enigmatic transformations that have shrouded it throughout the ages.

Step back in time to the year 532 AD, where Emperor Justinian I, a master of intrigue, unveiled the original Hagia Sophia. Within its sacred walls, the echoes of whispers and clandestine meetings would shape the destiny of an empire. As an Eastern Orthodox cathedral, it radiated divine light and served as the spiritual epicenter of Christianity in the heart of Constantinople, a city of secrets and ambition.

Fast forward to 1453, and the winds of change swept through the city as Sultan Mehmet II, Mehmet the Conqueror, claimed the city for the Ottoman Empire. With the Hagia Sophia as his prize, the transformation began. The cathedral's sacred echoes gave way to the solemn chants of Islamic prayer, as it was reborn as a mosque. The secrets hidden within its walls evolved, adapting to new masters and new mysteries.

But it was the architecture of the Hagia Sophia that held the greatest enigma of all. Its majestic dome, an architectural marvel, concealed the mysteries of light and space within its grandeur. As sunlight filtered through its intricate design, it cast ever-shifting shadows, illuminating ancient secrets and hidden truths.

Today, the Hagia Sophia stands as a symbol of Istanbul's layered history, a place where the echoes of empires past still reverberate through time. Visitors from around the world flock to unravel the enigmas held within its hallowed halls, where history, architecture, and the mysteries of the ages converge in a thrilling tale of past and present.

You can now get a piece of this history on your wall.

Once upon a time, in the rolling hills of Turkey, there grew a wildflower called the tulip. Its delicate petals were a brilliant shade of red, and it was admired by all who saw it.

In the 16th century, a Flemish botanist named Carolus Clusius discovered the tulip while on an expedition in Turkey. He was enchanted by its beauty and brought it back to his home in the Netherlands. The tulip quickly became a popular flower among the Dutch people, and its cultivation and breeding began in earnest.

Over time, the tulip became more than just a flower. It became a symbol of wealth and status. In the 17th century, a phenomenon known as "Tulip Mania" swept through the Netherlands, with tulip bulbs selling for astronomical prices. The Dutch economy became centered around the tulip trade, and fortunes were made and lost on the stock market.

Despite the Tulip Mania crash, the tulip remained an important part of Dutch culture. Today, the Netherlands is still the world's largest producer of tulips, and the country celebrates its national flower with the annual Keukenhof Gardens, a stunning display of tulips and other flowers.

If you want to bring a piece of this rich history and beauty into your home, consider purchasing tulip wallprints from our online store. Our tulips come in a variety of colors and sizes to suit your tastes. Whether you're a fan of traditional red tulips or want to try something new, our tulip wallprints are sure to brighten up your decor.

Some weeks ago I set out on a frigid winter morning with the intention of capturing the perfect landscape photo. My goal was to immortalize the winter scenery in a way that had never been done before. Despite the biting cold and the fresh snow that made every step a struggle, I was determined to succeed.

As I walked through the winter landscape, I was struck by the beauty of the snow-covered trees and the way the snow sparkled in the sunlight. I could taste the cold, crisp air on my tongue and hear the crunch of snow under my boots. The scent of pine trees filled my nostrils, and the sensation of the cold winter wind on my skin was invigorating.

However, my journey was not without its challenges. The deep snow made walking difficult, and I narrowly avoided disaster a few times. As I trudged through the snow, I began to doubt whether I could complete the walk.

But I persevered, and just as the sun began to set, I arrived at the perfect spot to capture the shot I had been dreaming of. The snowy mountains and pine trees were bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, and I knew that this was the moment I had been waiting for.

I quickly set up my camera and snapped the photo, just in time before the light faded. I felt a rush of excitement and relief as I reviewed the photo, knowing that it was a once-in-a-lifetime shot. I had accomplished my goal of capturing the perfect winter landscape photo.

As I made my way back home, I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. I hope I will impress you with my photo, as I felt like a part of the winter landscape. It was a dream come true, and I knew that I would never forget the experience.

Vanmiddag, donderdag 10 juni, was er een gedeeltelijke zonsverduistering zichtbaar in Nederland. Met een beetje kunst en vliegwerk heb ik deze ook vast kunnen leggen. De kleine zon is een omgekeerd spiegelbeeld van de echte zon. Beide in 1 foto gevangen.
