We have followed the great migration of wildebeest several times now and in 2019 we had the luck to witness a river crossing in Tanzania. Now, we returned to the Masai Mara in Kenya and tried out luck for a new sighting at the river. We were lucky at the Sand river, which is also the border betweenTanzania and Kenya, with the Serengeti at the other site.
Grevy’s zebra
Also a new encounter to us is the Grevy’s zebra. These endangered zebra’s have narrower stripes than plains zebras and have a white belly. They are the largest of the zebra species.
Colobus
We are back in Kenya and we will travel to several – for us new – nature reserves: Meru, Shaba, Buffalo Springs and Ol Pejeta. On our way back to Nairobi we will visit Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Lake Navaisha.
We had never seen a Colobus monkey (Dutch: Franjeaap) before. They have a black fur, in high contract with a long white mantle, whiskers, bushy tail, and beard around the face.
AWD
AWD or Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen is a dune landscape developed for the water supply of Amsterdam. It is also a protected nature reserve with beautiful flora and fauna. Photographer Krijn van der Giessen is guiding us in this area in search for widlife.
Ron Mueck
Museum Voorlinden (Wassenaar, The Netherlands) is presenting the largest retrospective of sculptor Ron Mueck (Australia). The photo shows the installation Mass, a room filled with giant skulls.
Douro valley
We are back in Portugal and this time we spend time along the Douro river with beautiful views at the Portuguese vineyards. The photo was taken from a boat on the river close to Pinhão.
Ganzenmarkt tunnel
The tunnel between the Ganzenmarkt and the Oudegracht in Utrecht gives access to the Oudegracht wharves. Probably the most photographed tunnel of the city, but most photographers will do this in the evening when lights will produce a colorful experience. But not for me, as I need the photo in B&W for my street life photo project.
Silly Walks
In the Dommeltunnel in Eindhoven, Niels van Swaemen and Kaspar van Leek created a mural ‘the Silly Walks’ of Monthy Python. A famous episode with John Cleese as the Minister of silly Walks.
Art Museum
Not only the art works in the Art museum in The Hague are interesting, so is the stairwell.
Video led-stairs
In the city centre of The Hague, a LED-stairs has been realized. Videos are projected on the stairs, while it is still in use for people going up or down.
