Early rides, quiet roads, first light, coffee stops and small adventures before the rest of the world wakes up.
Part two of this amazing morning when I got up way before sunrise to chase some astro photography and ended up switching to silhouettes. The stars were slowly disappearing, but the sky wasn’t done yet. For a few minutes there…
I couldn’t sleep last night. I was rolling around in bed like a sausage on a BBQ. Eventually I said enough and got up. Sometimes it’s like that. You just can’t sleep. Maybe this time it was the excitement of…
Maybe Some Of The Best Moments Are The Ones When There’s Absolutely Nothing Going Through Your Head Nothing really happened on this ride. I was just riding from one village to another, taking roads I hadn’t been down before. The…
I was up early. Normally I would have stayed in bed a bit longer, but for some reason that day I got up and looked out of the window. All I could see was fog rolling in. It happened fast.…
I’m starting to think bad weather makes some of the best photographs. Stadspark was soaked that morning. Water everywhere, mist hanging between the trees and reflections in places where there normally aren’t any. I’ve walked through this park countless times,…
On one of my morning escapes I stopped by Zuyderland. The light was getting interesting, so I switched to a wide-angle lens and took a few shots.
…and I’m starting to understand why I keep getting up so early. There’s something about the morning light, the freshness of the air, and the empty streets. Love it.
A few weeks ago I bought a new bike. The Fiido Titan Adventure Bike. And I had no idea how much it would change my mornings. Over the last three weeks I’ve found myself waking up before five, excited like…
This morning started with no destination. Just a full battery on the bike. A camera clicked onto my camera bag… And enough coffee to convince myself I knew where I was going. I didn’t. About an hour later I found…
While riding from Kollenberg to Parkbos Millen and on toward Germany, the sun came up in full glory. A beautiful sunrise. I stopped, took a moment, and grabbed a few photos. Here’s one of them.
I tried a vertical panorama this time. Stacked 6 images vertically, and this is what came out of it. You won’t see all the details here because I had to resize the image, but on a big screen it really…
Sunrise on the Kollenberg.
Great morning mountain bike ride around the Maas river. And perfect Sunday morning. Paradise for taking photos… the fog difused the light perfectly. Everything looked like I was in a movie.
Early morning just outside of Limbricht. I took this photo to remember how good the morning felt. One of those you know you’ll want to come back to later. I rode my mountain bike into the nearby woods, set up…
Frozen, fresh, beautiful and peaceful is exactly what I need right now. Shot from Kollenberg, Sittard
