Mills Working Late

I grabbed this just before sunset in the Netherlands. I like the blues in the homes on the nearside.

Some Holland HDRs

It’s been a while since I posted some pictures of Holland, so here is a cool church and um… some cool squnched up old building.

Saint Bevo

Here is Saint Bevo in Haarlem. I’m not super happy with this picture because it doesn’t look as enormous as it really is. Below, I put a picture of the inside, with which I am happy.

Kinetic Energy

I found this little girl concentrating hard on a chess match. She was embroiled in a match with about 25 other people all playing against a single Dutch champion that would run from table to table and play them all simultaneously.

Gift Shoppe of Mystery

This is a very strange picture because of that strange art that is embedded on the left side of the picture. It was even more strange to stare at in person. I actually felt strange walking up to it and peering around to figure out what was going on.

Golden Rays

This is the shiny interior of a famous church in the Netherlands. The tiles are all ceramic, which make all the light and colors much more vibrant. You can see the afternoon sun streaming in from the right side.

This is Ulaf

Ulaf’s dream is to build engines for a top Formula One team.

Ulaf is currently operating a windmill in Haarlem. He takes his time when showing me how it works, telling me in great detail how the oak cogs were carved. He doesn’t get many visitors and he is excited that I want to know about all the machinery.

(this comes from my Portraits series)

Quaint Netherlands

Here are two interesting shots from Holland. I don’t really have much to say about them, other than they are two of my favorites.
