#159 I Didn’t Plan To Stop Here…
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…

#158 St. Peter’s Church and the Basilica of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart At Sunrise

#154 Another Perfect MTB Ride
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.
#153 Sunrise in Born
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…

#150 A silhouette of a man walking on a trail at sunrise
I don’t really remember where I took this photo. All I remember is the silhouette… and that soft, orange morning glow. Sometimes that’s all that sticks. Not the place. Not the details. Just the feeling.
#149 Foggy Morning Sunrise

#143 Zuyderland Medical Center Sittard-Geleen At Sunrise
The sky is on fire, but everything else is still. Empty paths. Light reflecting off the windows. People already at work. Already deep into their 9–5s. And I’m here… Grateful for this moment. Grateful that I’m able to stand here,…
#142 The Sun
Am I really seeing what’s in front of me? I ask myself that a lot when I’m out with the camera.Not just looking — actually seeing. Photography slows me down. Forces me to stop and notice what’s right there. This…
#141 Kollenberg Chasing Light
“Light is the key. Orson Welles said it. Light is the key.”— James Nachtwey And there you have it. From the master himself. Light really is the key to any photograph… but not all light is equal. I just love…
#140 Kasteel Limbricht
I know nothing is ever perfect. There’s always something that could be better. But this morning was an exception. I just loved the light. Cold, crisp air filled with soft golden tones, creating beautiful reflections on the frozen pond around…
