Typical Dutch, Fons.

Nice rainy and dark effect, Jack.

Great view, Sten, and what a beautiful sunny weather you have.

A grey and rainy day again. Fine weather for a walk and get soaked.

Always very quiet at the nearby cemetery.

Especially Sports and Royalty-watching the Canon seems in the majority often paired with the 'standard' f/2.8 zooms. Carrying two camera's with f/1.4 primes is my usual approach giving a lot more 'optical' flexibility.

The sun came, and better weather and higher temperatures are expected.

The Crocus were a few weeks later than last year but also the Forsythia is very late this year.
