Blue Monday

OK, just one more. For the time being the last in the CoolArt series, shooting reflections of my wife's colourful paintings in an aluminium cool bag (or a crumpled foil).

Anger

This abstract is a detail of a weathered door used for a fitting room in an Elburg fashion store. Always good to have something to do while my wife is fitting clothes.

Elburg - as in olden days

A rather severe cold - still not fully gone - made me uninterested to take photographs for the past two weeks until yesterday. When we visited the nearby Hanseatic city of Elburg, I shot a few. This one was given a sepia treatment to mimic old images.

First sign of spring

A few years ago I tried the Flickr 365 challenge - shoot and post a picture every day. To overcome bad weather days, I invented what I called "CoolArt": shooting reflections of my wife's colourful paintings in an aluminium cool bag (or a crumpled foil). I tried my hand on this once more this weekend, and I liked the result.

Another shot from Ootmarsum. Nothing special as a photograph, but this sculpture is nice and I could not resist the title I gave it.
