A segment of straight-line rainbow. Standing on the heights at Eagle Rock in the Donner Tahoe region a sudden incoming thunderstorm creates this scenic image. Low sunshine lights part of the valley.

Westland & Piet Nieuwenhuysen - lines

A painting of a 93 years old Piet Nieuwenhuysen, painted in the comparitvely short period in which he was highly productive, between 1960 and 1980. Leading a solitary life in an old farm the heart of the Westland, he painted his surroundings: greenhouses, chimneys, greenhouses. The intersecting lines of the still low built greenhouses, the lines of a single window, an empty befroom. The verticals of the then still functional brick chimneys and windscreen walls. Still alive, no longer painting a modest exhibition was recently held at the Westland Museum. Modest but captivating by its intensity.  image: "in between greenhouses".

Frozen lines

After 12 years the miracle has happened again: Hundreds of thousands of ice-skaters have left their marks in frozen lines

The only thing that really unites the millions of individual, presumptuous clayfooted Netherlanders is ICE and SKATING

Only then we are one people, one stupid happy family, with nothing showing on our faces but dumb grins and nothing but niceties , everyone helpful to everyone, sharing blisters, peasoup, sauages, chocolate milk and knowing one thing : only when it is deep frozen we master the waters of our wetlands, the eternally threatening SWAMP.

Hail to master FROST!
