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!

Never seen the Matterhorn from that angle. This photo gives a real sense of the enormity of the mountains.

Excellent capture of these mountains. The Matterhorn almost frames the scene on the right side. Anxious to see another pic from a greater elevaion. Suspect then Matterhorn will become even more prominent. I've never seen that mountain from this angle -- Dick

What a beautiful mountains Jan-Carel ! I've never seen this one before, but the Matterhorn is really amazing with a superb form and I love this little cloud near to it... Gorgious and always magic to see the moutains. You're climbing very often ! Lucky guy ;o)))) Have a wonderful day my friend. Hugs. V

Please stop with these shots...every time I see them they push me for another holiday (and I'm running out of days!!)...lol. Was there maybe fifteen years ago, but don't remember seeing the Matterhorn, maybe because of the brilliant sight into the other direction (Aletschgletscher, Eiger, Trugberg). Great shot Jan-Carel, keep them coming (gonna ask my boss for another few days...)

Lovely scenery! I like the rock jutting out in the mountain range! It gives it more majesty. Excellent perspective!

You know...i get exhausted just by looking at your shots. Youre like Forest Gump or something, but instead of running you go hiking. Much amazed by your determination and love for the outdoors. Excellent work....now keep walking...youre only half there, lol. Enjoy your weekend. #:O)
