Shadow selfie at a light gallop at the Ginkelse heide, 1 March 2026. While I like to gallop myself from time to time, I also enjoy to ride my carbon (no steel, alas) horse every now and then.
Close up of waterfountain- like thing at La Scalinèda de San Péider. Mesocco, Switzerland, 22 July 2026. The strength of softness is well known in the Dao/Tao concept of water or Wu-wei. With the caveat that I haven't even scratched the surface of Eastern wisdom traditions.

A view of the clouds while biking to work. Near Wageningen campus. Taking pictures while riding bikes is nothing to be encouraged or proud of - don't try this at home folks...
Shadow selfie of a bike ride several years ago. No traffic there, so it was safe. Or safe-ish 🙂. Near Woudenberg, the Netherlands.

A photograph of the artwork "Exposure" by Antony Gormley, near Lelystad, the Netherlands. Popularly known as 'de hurkende man' - crouching man. I love it and you will likely see more of it...
