Travelogue Camper Trip through the Netherlands 2026 A short campertrip that we made in the summer of 2026 in our home country Period 7 july 2026 – 14 july 2026. Distance 1,065 km. In the summer of 2026, we took a short camper trip through the Netherlands. We did not have a fixed itinerary, but there were two things we really wanted to do: visit Amersfoort and see the exhibition of Hungarian-Indian artist Amrita Sher-Gil at the Drents Museum in […]
Olive treesAnchors in the Landscape Olive trees – Anchors in the landscape When we bought the book Anchor in the Landscape, it made us look again at the photographs we had taken over the years in Greece and Italy. Among them were many images of olive trees. We have always loved these trees. Their trunks, their shapes, their age, and their presence give them so much character. To us, every olive tree seems to carry its own story. After going […]
Photography A New Home for Dutch Photography in Rotterdam A visit to the Nederlands Fotomuseum in its new home, the Santos warehouse in Rotterdam. Yesterday I visited the Nederlands Fotomuseum in its new home: the beautifully restored Pakhuis Santos in Rotterdam’s vibrant Katendrecht district. I had often visited the museum at its former location on the Kop van Zuid, near the historic Holland-America Line area and Hotel New York, but this new setting feels different. Santos gives the museum a […]
Photography Letizia Battaglia: Life, Love and Death in Sicily A retrospective Quite some time ago, I first encountered Letizia Battaglia’s work in Black & White Photography magazine, where she was featured for her fearless documentation of Mafia violence in Sicily. The photograph of Rosaria Schifani, the widow of bodyguard Vito Schifani, who was killed together with judge Giovanni Falcone, made a lasting impression on me. The more I learned about Battaglia and her photographs, the greater my respect became for […]

Valladolid – SpainStrolling through Valladolid in early spring 2026 At the end of the afternoon, we took a first walk through the city. The old centre surprised us with many churches, the huge — remarkably unfinished — Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, and of course the atmospheric Plaza Mayor. Valladolid itself has a long and important history. In the late Middle Ages and the Spanish Golden Age, it was one of the most influential cities in the kingdom. […]
Zamora – SpainStrolling through Zamora in the early spring of 2026 From our travelogue France, Spain and Portugal 2026: Zamora is located in the autonomous region of Castile and León and is the capital of the province of Zamora. The historic centre is located on a rocky plateau (about 652 meters high) and is partly surrounded by old city walls—it is not without reason that Zamora is nicknamed la bien cercada, ‘the well-walled one’. Built in the 12th century, the […]
Murals – A form of public art (V) The murals below have been photographed in 2026 during our latest camper trip in Spain and Portugal. We become more and more interested in this form of art. In the streets of cities and villages you can find real masterpieces.
Photography Photography websites Our most favourite photography websites. This is a screenshot taken from the homepage of the photographer Rania Matar. When I come across good photos and/or articles in the photography magazines I buy, or through online publications, I often visit the photographer’s website. I want to learn more about the photographer and, of course, see more of his/her work. If the photography moves me, I often send a mail to the photographer to compliment him/her with his/her work.
