Donnie & his dogs
Friendly Donnie was amused to learn about my hobby and immediately happy to pose for me, walking his tiny dogs in the park. Proudly mentioning his daughter in a working-visit at the nearby police station, she freshly graduated and will soon be up for political elections of the provincial government in March. Good luck to…

Godelieve
Maastricht 3 dec 2022 After getting a ¨no, thanks¨ from some pedestrians if they were ok for me to make a portrait, local Godelieve kindly agreed to pose for me. ¨No one´s ever asked me that¨she confided. Just coming back from Snow-world in Landgraaf with her children, she was out for a quick grocery run…

Danique and Masakazu
Maastricht, 3-12-2022 (sorry if I’m misspelling your names) She’s from Eindhoven, he’s from Japan. He’s here for two weeks, and they were so adorably in love. At first I was too shy to even ask them, and didn’t want to run after them as they passed me by. When they returned a bit later to…

Sunrise, sunrise
The stalks lost their leaves, mostly. Caught the sunrise: the sun broke out from behind the clouds. Warmly dressed, I woke up, too.

Colmar
Wolfberger has a very cosy courtyard, even in the winter, the vines are impressive: Inbound to Colmar it looks a bit desolate. But once inside the city centre, it’s really lively with old buildings and young people and quirky x-mas decorations. Love the details, like the tiny hairs on the plants, or the shape of…

Eguisheim
Our favourite go-to place for great value-for-money wines, is Eguisheim. A pittoresque small village very typical to the Alsace. You get winer makers in every other building, and usually people walking in the streets with boxes of wine they’d just tasted and purchased. We found a very lively city, even more than we’d expected, due…

Thank you
It’s an impressive local custom to adopt a grave of one of the 9,000 soldiers buried or in the memorial wall at the entrance. There’s a long waiting list, but neither the graves, nor I myself were in a hurry. After a wait, I was humbled to be elected. The American war cemetery is always…

At the tattoo parlour
Bless Alan and Lyn – such kind folks. Alan’s really talented and can be found at South Side Tattoo in Valkenburg, a pittoresk place (perhaps too much so) in the South of the Netherlands, close to Maastricht. Find Alan on Facebook here.
