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!

Very unusual...Budding lichen....Don't think I have seen that before! :0)

The colours are so subtle. You can use various lichens as a dye for wool. I think lichens give off shades of yellow.

What a superb Lichen And a truely wonderful place this must be to have so many.. It is one of my complaints here in the UK that they do not let nature take its course in modern forestry to the detriment of such plants and wildlife

my Sunday is coming to a close, but these lichens will live on! The Agfa is a nice choice, and seems to solve your magenta/blue dominance.
