The sun sets behind the village of Hoogkerk on a summer evening. The Dutch soccer team was about to kick-off against Brasil in the 3rd place final so it was nice and quiet here at the very border of the city of Groningen.

My summer holidays have almost come to an end, it's back to work again tomorrow. We're back from a great holiday in Scotland and of course I took a few pictures. It will take some processing time, but I'll share some photos on Facebook in the next couple of days.As an appetiser, here's a panorama shot of Loch Lomond just after sunset. It's stitched from 5 portrait photos.

During our Scotland holiday this summer we only spent one night along Loch Lomond in the south of Scotland. But for me as a landscape photographer it was a fantastic evening.This photo showing the sunset was taken at the same location as the panorama posted earlier this week.Lot's of drama in the sky, nicely lit by the last rays of sunlight. Man, I just kept shooting! Again, a lot of midges were trying to make me mad but with such scenes I couldn't be bothered too much.

Very close to home I witnessed and photographed today's blue hour at the Reitdiep Haven. This is a very recent part of the city of Groningen, situated in the North-West. It's well-known because of the bright-coloured houses.

This little stool is probably a great spot to enjoy the wide views of Lauwersmeer National Park. This morning though, sturdy winds came in from the east while temperatures were well below zero. Had to litterally hold the tripod to prevent it from falling over. Siberian conditions in NL on the 23rd of March...
