Everywhere people with camera's find their way in this world to make their shots. I like the art of taking realistic pictures, because it provides a way to show how I experience this world. It is a way for other people to look through my eyes.Nature ... exists primarily for her face, her look, her appeals to the heart and the imaginationGeorge MacDonaldJan-Carel Vierbergen

Since my childhood I'm used to walk with father, brothers, cousins, etc., and take pictures (Minolta X-700 with 28-70 mm and 100-300 mm zoom) of what I see. I grew up in Ede (The Netherlands), studied Electrical Engineering in Eindhoven and I am working now as Coordinator e-learning at the Christelijke Hogeschool Ede (http://www.che.nl) where I implement digital assessments for students and assist students in DTP and creating websites.
Since I know little about photographing as well as computer science it was not difficult to find ways for putting images on the web. The only thing to look for now is to find ways for showing the slides in a convenient way. I tried already something at http://www.che.nl/users/jcv (Dutch only, click at Dia's van de natuur in Nederland en de Alpen), but this platform provides good means to share my pictures with others.
I hope you enjoy this!

That clipper has an almost ghostly quality about it! Quite incredible to have been able to capture it at such an obviously far distance - not an easy thing to have done.

It could be Captain Cook who discovered Hawaii? It does appear to be a ghostly ship. Excellent shot. Aloha

A wonderful nostalgic impression!!!

I thought for a moment it was returning from Trafalgar but then a clipper is a round the Horn ship and unusual in the Bay of Biscay or the North Sea. Nice fantasy of the Flying Cloud playing the role of Lost Dutchman.

I love to watch ships in the distance. It's one of my favorite things to do at the beach. It's lovely!
