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!

Great picture J.C.! It reminds me of Zeeland(in the Netherlands). That place lies at sea-level, as you know, and this plain at 1,5 km above it. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's series. Have a good day, J.C.!

Your description really conjures up the magic of this place. I would love to know how many hours it takes to do this hike, what time do you start and do you get special weather reports? I got stuck on a mountain in Bavaria many years ago, the weather suddenly turned nasty, the cable car had stopped running and we were luckily offered overnight shelter in the restaurant along with other people who were stranded!

Wonderful reflections in the water, looks very fresh like crystals!! The sounds of water can be good for relaxing, I know it from norway (with thousands of waterfalls...)

The digital form and photography was hostile to the sparkle. Fortunately the wave patterns on the muddy ice were less chaotic. "Do you realize," that historic preface now prempts "do you understand."
