bijna onder

The sun is nearly set.


During the so-called "blue hour" around and just after sunset,
the light is often very beautiful for photography.
Here, at Jisp, a view over the lake "het Zwet" with backlight, towards Wormer.


Some time ago, I attended the lecture "Experience the Landscape" at Cameranu
by Sander Grefte and Dave Zuuring. This has given me an additional
perspective on landscape photography, which I take with me while creating some of my photos.
