#85 Geleenbeek Munstergeleen

A shot from my morning walk in Munstergeleen overlooking Geleenbeek. One second, everything was gray and lifeless. The next, it looked like a scene ripped straight out of a film. Beautiful!

A while back, I cycled 100km to Monschau. Minimal gear. Just the essentials strapped to my bike. I knew where I was gonna sleep. No tent, just a tarp, a half-sized mattress and a bivy bag. Nothing fancy. The forecast said…

He once told me, “I want to take pictures just like you.” And I swear, those words hit harder than anything I’ve ever heard. Because in that moment, I realized something few people ever do… Kids don’t follow advice. They…

Cold. Quiet. You could feel the stillness in the air. A majestic atmosphere. The whole scene backlit by golden light. No deadlines. No noise. A bunch of horses around. Me? I was right there. Free. Watching the light. Watching those…

My favorite silhouette of St. Peter’s Church in Sittard. No doubt about it. The sky was on fire… the sun slicing through. The reds were so vivid I couldn’t take my eyes off it. You could see every shade of…

A train tears through the fog like a beast set loose from hell. Steel screaming. Air splitting… and above it all… a single bird, cool as ice, perched on the wire. Didn’t even twitch. Just watched while chaos thundered beneath…

I can feel winter knocking. Not here yet, but close enough to smell it in the air. The mornings are colder. The fog rolls in heavier. And when the sun finally breaks through… it hits the landscape like fire through…

A few days ago, I was playing around with some Lightroom presets and came up with this dark, desaturated, industrial, orange look I really liked. You know that moment when you look at a photo and think, “Damn… this looks…

This shot already tells half the story with that glow of the burner. But let me take you behind it. It was my first time hiking through the forest in the dark. I wanted to go early… way before the…

Found this old sequence of seven shots sitting on my hard drive. Stitched them together… and damn, it hit me again. This was autumn full of crazy deep reds. We shot this about a minute from home. I told my…

I took this shot while mountain biking along the stream years ago. Autumn was showing off. The air smelled like wet leaves, the ground was a muddy mess, and every corner looked like a potential for a snapping a quick…

Snapped this while my friend was washing his car at a self-service wash in Karviná, Czech Republic…

I took this shot in Beskydy Mountains in the Czech Republic. Was trying to capture the Milky Way but the light polution, even in the mountains, is too strong.

It’s pure magic! It doesn’t stay like this for long. Perhaps another 2-3 weeks. So if you can, get outside. Mornings are the best… Let’s go! Let the sunshine slap you awake.
