#135 Views From Kollenberg

I’ve found riding MTB to be one of the best wake-me-up exercises there is. I hate going to the gym. Never liked the atmosphere. Always felt like I was missing something big… and yeah — fresh air. You just can’t…

Out mountain biking in Geleen. Perfect time to hit the trails. I’ve been neglecting it for a while, so it felt good to finally grab the bike and go for a ride.

A photograph of the basilica in Sittard at sunrise.

Sunrise shot from Sittard Schwienswei. Was a great walk.

A cold early morning walk reminded me why it’s worth putting my boots on and going out.

Cold on the Kollenberg. But the good kind of cold. The kind that wakes you up properly. I forgot my gloves, and my fingers were screaming “give us a break” the whole time. Lesson learned… again. Still worth it though.…

I took this photo while cycling to work. It’s a nice spot where you can walk or hike around the pond. The water was frozen — not enough to walk on the ice yet, but getting there. What stood out…

A photo of the church on Bloemenmarkt in Geleen at sunrise. I don’t have much to say about this one, other than it’s a stacked panorama — 7 vertical shots stitched together to create a single image. Hope you like…

Beautiful morning light over the stream, the sun slowly poking through, and a layer of fog sitting right above the water. It made everything look cinematic… almost unreal. Perfect start to the day.

Sometimes all it takes to recharge is a quick walk. This time it was on the Kollenberg in Sittard. Beautiful morning, with the sun lighting up the trees…just a perfect moment to wander around and clear the head.

I think this might be my favourite shot of St. Peter’s Church in Sittard. Took it completely randomly on my way home… nothing planned… just found out about this little side street, saw the moment, raised the camera, and pressed…
