Combining the art of photography with the art of writing

The winds having changed direction, it is in The Netherlands en Belgium that a climate change has occurred the most radically. Until the years 1970-80, the winter’s tempe-rature dropped at least to –20°; today it goes hardly down to 5° a few days a year!

Only one day of snow during the winter 2006-2007 and, sadly, not a ray of son!

The third day, sunny at last, I left at 8h30, at sunrise, and at 11h. everything started melting already…

Three days of hoar-frost, just before Christmas 2007. Every night, the trees were covered by an extra sheet of ice...

When one drives on The Netherlands roads, one often has the feeling there is nothing here but flatness... Serious mistakes!
