Garden |
The
pictures of my garden are from different seasons. Winter, spring, summer
and autumn
and have their own charm. In
"spring 2007" and “summer flowers” I describe many plants.
Also I have mentioned my house plants and euphorbia. On the page
"garden" you can see pictures of the front- and back garden.
Animals |
In 2007, I have
started to describe the animals in the garden. Many insects have
their
own page now. (butterflies, damsel-dragonflies,
flies,beetles, bugs, hoverflies
1 and 2, wasps and bees, spiders).
And several subpages.
My holidays |
I
also have made some pages about different holidays. I describe the
landscape as much as possible. Of course I have made a choice. The first pictures of
France are from a long time ago. But also the pictures of Ireland,
Scotland and
Czechia I had to scan.
The dunes |
In January 2009 I have made a start with a page
about the dunes around here.
The first photos are taken with an hp photosmart 735, from 2007 with a hp photosmart R818, from 2008 a Fujifilm FinePix S9600, from May 2010 a Sony digital camera DSLR-A450 and from May 2018 a Sony Alpha SLT A68. Macro photos I mostly make with the Tamron SP AF90mm F/2.8 lens.
Sometimes with a macro conversion lens. For the other photos a Sigma 17-70mm F/2.8-4.0 DC
I wish you much joy!
Take also a look at my favourite links.
Some
photos I've taken on Flickr.
My photos on Stocksites.
| Alamy.
An English stock photo website. The lowest earning stock site for me. Few sales, but for a good price.
|
| Adobe
Stock. An American company that has a stock
website in addition to computer software. Unfortunately, many editorial photos will
not be accepted. |
| Shutterstock.
Stock website, which sells a lot. Companies, that buy a lot of photos, pay low prices. Until
June 2020, we got $ 0.25 for
these photos, and if you sold a lot, even 0.36. Now that has been reduced to 0.10.
Some have stopped for that reason. |
MoMoLab
Company for which Dirk Jan works. Consists of a team of designers, animators, programmers and artists.
Specializes in interactive experiences that combine physical spaces with digital content. For exhibitions, serious games and programs. Tailor-made for museums, exhibitions, visitor centers and showrooms. |
My Guestbook. After 21 years, the guestbook service on MyGB.nl has stopped in 2024 and messages can no longer be sent. Too bad. The old messages can still be read. If you want to know something, you can of course email me (email address at the top of the page).

The removal of our sick horse chestnut.
When we came back from our holiday to Australia ( on June 1) one of our chestnuts already lost
all its leaves. There was no sap under the bark.
I have made on August 2, 2012
a
report of the removal of the tree .
Photo 5 June 2012: You can see the difference with the left chestnut and the chestnuts on the front of the house.
Unfortunately, in 2023, the second chestnut also fell ill and had to be cut down. I have added a second report to the first.
