Windsurfing...
Yesterday my sister's boy-friend Ed and I went windsurfing on Strand Horst. A really nice day with sun and strong winds. It already was some years ago we did this for the last time but the feeling came back soon...

Basilica Sancti Servatii Trajecti ad Mosam
Stone carved statues above the back entrance of the Saint Servatius Basilica in Maastricht.
The Saint Servatius Basilica is perhaps the biggest symbol of Maastricht. This catholic church was built in a gothic style back in the year 1000. It's the only church in The Netherlands that was built on the grave of a saint. In this case St Servatius. The church is located in the heart of the city at the famous Vrijthof Square. You can have a look inside every day from 10 to 5. You can also have a look in the treasury room. The church is in the top 100 monuments in the Netherlands on the UNESCO world heritage list.

Medersa Ben Youssef (Marrakech, Morocco)
The Medersa Ben Youssef is a Koranic school that dates from the 16th century. It's definately worth a visit when you are in Marrakech, Morocco. The floor and pilars are real mozaic from very little tiles. The top of the pilars and wals are hand-made with very detailed stone/wood carving. Must have cost thousands of hours to make it. Very impressive! Please click on the pictures to see the large versions.

Panorama Lac d'Ifni - Morocco
Panorama of Lac d'Ifni, near the Jebel Toubkal in the High Atlas mountains in Morocco. The water in the lake was clear, not too cold and very nice to swim in! It was quiet around there and we put up our tents on the rocks of the morene that was coming from the mountains.
This panorama was stitched from 3 separate photo's. I used Canon PhotoStitch to create a image of 7600x2000 pixels. Please click on the image to see a larger version.

Marrakech Streetlife
During the Friday prayers in Marrakech, many shops in the souks are closed and the tourists make place for men playing a game. This is the first picture of my 2-week camping and hiking trip in the High Atlas mountains in Morocco. I'll post more pictures the coming weeks and finally create a gallery on my website.

Wild Deer in the Amerongen Forest
This is the reason I always carry my 5.9 kg camera bag with me whenever I go hiking. Yesterday I ran across this beautiful animal during my daily walk through the Amerongen Forest (part of National Park "De Utrechtse Heuvelrug"). She was not scared and let me approach till about 10 meters.

This is the first in a series of portraits I shot while assisting photographer Hans Bakker on a Bachelor Party studio-photoshoot. On my website you can find the complete series, also in full color. (May 2006)
Parque Nacionale Los Glaciares, Chile
These spectacular clouds are called "Altocumulus Lenticularis" and are formed by wind passing at right angles over an obstruction (like a mountain range). When this happens, the air is forced upwards over the obstruction. If the wind speed increases with altitude, waves of rising and sinking air form on the lee side of the obstruction. The tops of these waves are often capped with lenticular clouds like these ones. (December 2005)
