Yesterday the weather was perfect for a visit to the Apenheul. Since I had a day off, there was nothing to stop me from going. I enjoyed it again. Today the area of the Barbary macaques was open. Last time it wasn’t and that makes a huge difference when taking pictures. It gave me the READ MORE

King colobus
Since last year, there is a new area with free-range monkeys in the Apenheul. The Apenheul is one of my favourite places to take pictures. The fact that the monkeys have a lot of space and walk and climb freely in the park for a large part, means that you can see them with natural READ MORE
A strong lady
May holidays and nice weather, time for a visit to a zoo. Of course in Germany, because they don’t have holidays there. I choose Allwetterzoo in Münster. It was wonderful. Very quiet, because it was just far enough across the border not to bump into half of the Netherlands. And I saw beautiful things and READ MORE
Sharp en blurry
Pantropica is the new name for the Orchideeen Hoeve in Luttelgeest. And it’s good that there is a new name. The old name no longer covered the meaning of the park for a long time. So much has been added. There are more and more animals and also more and more beautiful birds. So on READ MORE

A picking bouquet
During the summer holidays, I restored the photography cube. It was still in the guest room, but it was full of all kinds of things that I wanted to photograph. In that cube, you can play with light and place different backgrounds. It had also been a long time since I photographed flowers in the READ MORE
AI & me
Months ago I announced that I would be sharing a new AI experiment. That took much longer than intended. Now the time has come. Below you will find images that are a combination of a photo by me and an AI background. I always share the unedited photos, followed by the composite. A composite is READ MORE
The beauty of the butterfly
We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. ~Maya Angelou Photos taken in Mangrove in Burgers Zoo on September 25, 2023 These photos were taken here:
Meerkats
I was free on Monday and went to Burgers Zoo. Lovely weather and a beautiful day. The last stop that day was the meerkats. Cute creatures to see, especially if they are all on the lookout at the same time. There was no danger. You may have guessed it, they had seen the caregivers preparing READ MORE
