Preparing sails

Another example of a volunteer depicting an old profession in the Enkhuizen Zuiderzee Museum, in this case the making of sails. Very appropriate for the museum/s subject.

Outside the classroom

One of many highlights of the Zuiderzee Museum Enkhuizen is the old village school. Outside the classroom was space for the children to leave their wooden shoes. A lovely sight.

Making barrels

One of many special displays in the Enkhuizen Zuiderzee Museum, depicting professions of a century ago. They are manned by expert volunteers rather than mannequins.

Nets

Not surprisingly, fishing and all its attributes play an important role in the Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen. I like the abstract feeling of this shot of fishing nets, with its contrasts of circular and linear shapes.

Zuiderzee chains

Of course, a setting like the Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen offers plenty of opportunities for chains shots - that I continue to require for my art blog.

Canvas abstraction

A zoom in on a canvas sail of a boat moored in a canal in the Zuiderzee Museum Enkhuizen. I liked the combination of curves and colours.

Three smoky eyes

Last week we visited the Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen. The first thing you see when you come off the boat is this collection of calciantion ovens. I went for black and white to create a vintage effect.
