Sunrise Shots
#62 Church In Nieuwstadt At Sunrise
7:13 a.m. — Love shooting at this hour, just before the sun comes up. It’s peaceful, it’s beautiful out there!
#60 The Ride That Stopped Me in My Tracks
Fog. Silence. Light. Nothing else needed!
Sometimes the world looks so perfect it feels staged.
But it’s not.
It’s just nature doing what it does when you decide to show up early enough.
#59 Watersley Sittard At Autumn
I rode past Watersley that morning and the colors stopped me cold. The trees were on fire, the air crisp… one of those moments you know won’t last long.
The view was too big for one frame, so I shot it in pieces… five, maybe six. Then I stitched it all together in Lightroom, brought out that deep, golden tone, and let the photo breathe.
Sometimes you don’t plan the shot… it just happens.
#58 Bird Watcher, Kollenberg Sittard
A photograph of a bird watcher who came to Kollenberg in Sittard to watch the sunrise… Just like me, he was there to take in that magnificent morning light.
#56 Yoga Pose In Port Zélande
Most people sleep through the best part of the day.
That quiet moment before the world wakes up… when the air bites a little, and the sun slowly starts painting everything gold.
We got up before dawn. Walked down to the beach in Port Zélande. No crowds. No noise.
Just the sound of water. I asked her to pose for me. She balanced perfectly against the sunrise.
There’s something special about mornings like this. They remind you that life doesn’t need more things… just more moments that make you feel alive.
#55 Autumn on Kollenberg, Sittard.
Snapped this at sunrise on Kollenberg in Sittard.
While most people were hitting snooze, the sky decided to show off. Glad I didn’t miss the show.
#54 Silhouette Of Hunters Hut Kollenberg Sittard
I found this old hunter’s hut by accident.
Just sitting there below Kollenberg… like it had a story to tell.
The light wasn’t right that day, but I could feel it — if I came back early enough, the sunrise would set it on fire.
So I did.
Next morning, I was there before the birds. The air was cold. I sat there, waiting.
And when the sun finally broke through… the whole scene lit up like someone had poured gasoline on the horizon and started the fire.
#52 Lost In Corsican Mountains
“Getting lost is not a waste of time. Staying where nothing moves you is.”
Woke up on a winding road somewhere in the Corsican mountains.
Didn’t know exactly where I was. Didn’t care.
The view was ridiculous… the kind that makes you forget time. Made myself a cup of super strong coffee, watched the sun crawl over the peaks, and thought…
…this right here… this is what most people trade away for comfort.
Fuck comfort!
#50 Sittard From Bergstraat
“I view photography the way I view life: magical and full of possibility.”
Photograph taken from Bergstraat, Sittard just before sunrise.
#49 Can’t Sit Still
I can’t sit still.
Somewhere out there, the sun’s rising without me… and that kills me a little.
#45 Fortuna Sittard – A morning ride to Kollenberg
Photograph from my early morning MTB ride. Headed out to Kollenberg for some flowy trails.
