Ameland

Off the friesian cost you'll find the wadden islands. From south to north they are Texel, Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland and Schiermonnikoog. On Flickr I found this great photo by 'Ameland1732', who I would like to thank for giving me permission to us this photo. Most people here have their favorite island. They are great places to retreat to if you want 'get away from it all', though during the school holidays they might be too popular for peace and quiet.

Gytsjerkerhoek

About a month ago I shot a series of photos in the evening. The sun was shining but a small storm was under way. The light, contrast and sky were really something. I had already posted one photo. But today this photo started becoming popular on Flickr where I store all my photos, which is why I decided to post it here.

Childrens Survival party

Kinder Survival/ Children's Survival Party from doncrowley and Vimeo.

Is this an advertorial. No honestly it is is not. But we booked Jan van Dijk in for our children's party. I had video taped it. The party was so good I'm sticking it up and if it is for you get in touch with Jan.

It was a children's survival party. All the kids come home tired and dirty. But every single kid loved it. The next day they were still talking about it. Jan is in Ternaard, but he does parties in lots of different places in the province. We had our party in Rypsjerk.

Highly recommended.

Alle kinderen komen vies, blij en moe thuis. Wat zullen ze lekker slapen. Maar wat vinden ze het gaaf. Wij hebben damdijk.nl ingehuurd voor onze kinder feest. Het was het beste feest ooit.

We went out with the 'bird watch (vogelwacht)' yesterday to ring church owl chicks. We had a great time, being able to see them so close. Yves was able to hold them and teh people we were with were so friendly and helpful.

There is a hole in the house

Take a good look at the bottom and first floor af these appartments in the middle of the photo. Did someone try to cut or blow there way in or out? I have no idea what was going on here. But it looked really weird. Have a look at google maps to see where they are. This photo was taken from the 'Rengerspad'. The squarish roofs are the buildings in question.

With the sun still shining and storm clouds on their way the light was just amazing over Gietsjerkerhoek
