The 5th of May. On that day The Netherlands celebrate their liberation from Germany after the Second World War. This year was the 65th anniversary, as well as the 100th anniversary of the local Oranjevereniging, the organisation that organises all these events. As a result, festivities were done on a big scale. I've been out to shoot the three major events of the day.First off there is a show by the group called 'Keep Them Rolling'. This organisation strives to keep old army vehicles in a rolling condition. They are shown off at appropriate events, like Liberation Day.
In the afternoon there was the main event: the Liberation Parade, showing off old and new army material, many marching bands, and most importantly: veterans who fought for our freedom in WW2, as well as younger veterans who fought for safety and freedom in other nations. They are honoured during this parade.
Finally, in the evening there was a grand Tattoo: five top-of-the-world marching bands performing their show.
That's a lot of activities. And it resulted in lots of pictures as well. I have broken my record: this is the biggest special I've ever made so far.

Spring has arrived! As well as an ash cloud from Iceland. These things tend to alter sunsets somewhat, sometimes make them more spectacular. So I've been out there to shoot some. One shot for Animals, one for Miscellaneous and the rest goes into Landscapes. Enjoy.Update 17-04-2010: Spring shots added to Macro and Stereograms.

The improved website has been further improved. I've made the navigational tools and some texts brighter. This should make it easier to find everything.

Wait a minute, this is not what you expected to see when you entered that URL, or came in through your favourites.
Did you enter the URL wrongly perhaps? No, no you didn't. I've given the site a little bit of a makeover. Had to learn PHP and MySQL to get it done, but it was well worth it.
Oh, and while you're busy checking out all that fancy new stuff, don't forget to stop by the latest special!
P.S.: If you want to view the website in Dutch, your browser must accept cookies. (It's just a little one for the language selection.)

Maybe I should write something new here for a change. There have been a few updates by now, but nothing really much unfortunately. But summer holidays will start next month, maybe I'll get some more time in to shoot pictures for the site.I just uploaded a few birds from a show I was at last Saturday - Click!

After hours, days, weeks, months of hard labour it's finally there. It started small. Just a new picture on the 'About Me' page. Kind of got out of hand. You may have noticed by now.The first thing you'll notice is the improved appearance of course. But there's more. The navigational bar has been shortened and the removed links (copyright / notes) can now be found elsewhere, in less obvious places. Also I've tweaked some things here and there.
And not unimportant: the site coding is now validated HTML 4.01 Strict. Previously this was Transitional.
As always I'd be happy to hear (read) any remarks or suggestions. Enjoy the renewed site.
Note: there are also new additions to Landscapes and Stereo!
