Early May we will be moving from the youngest city in the Netherlands (Almere) to one of the oldest (Kampen). A few snapshots I took last Sunday morning:


Kampen [1] by Art Rock (Hennie), on Flickr


Kampen [2] by Art Rock (Hennie), on Flickr


Kampen [3] by Art Rock (Hennie), on Flickr

Our house/shop is on the main street, on the left side a bit right from the centre in the third shot. We will be using the shop as gallery to display my wife's art.

What did you do with all the people? The streets are empty!

It does look like a pretty town. Are you going to start framing some of your photos and selling those, as well? Bambi's not the only artist in the family, eh?

Those are pictures of just his property. That's why there's no one around.

Looks like a zombie movie.
Where are all the people?

It must be around 7:15 am for the last one. On a Sunday morning, I can see not many people being around.

I love Early Nederlandish/Flemish painting (van Eyck, van der Weyden, Brueghel et al) and, frankly, with the exception of the cars and roadsigns, most of those photos could come straight out of some of their pictures painted seven hundred years ago!

I've made the observation before, DP, that it seems that you live in a more beautiful world than I do. Of course, I do understand that it is true because you are better at seeing the beauty that surrounds you (and photographing it for the rest of us, which I totally appreciate). However, in these photos, I see that it is literally true, as well. There's nothing in my world like that architecture.

Just curious, have you ever considered doing HDR?

I've been playing around with it, nature scenes, not much architecture near me. I've taken a liking to it, but do some people think it too, I don't know, "manipulated"? But isn't everything? To me, it's closer to how things look to the eye. Anyway, I think some of those scenes would look great in HDR.

HDR when done right is excellent but takes a lot of effort. Most HDR shots that I see on Flickr are hideous,
