Hi!
My name is Annelies ♀ ♈
For me, photography is something that completely relaxes me and takes my mind off the most troublesome thoughts and worries!
I love to walk around, exploring with my camera...
I love nature; my husband likes art and I like taking photos of art. :-)
Photography is the perfect outlet for my feelings.

My most important gear:
* my body and my soul
**my eyes

I cherish the friendships I have made with people around the world in this amazing community of photographers.
A heartfelt thank you goes to all my Flickr friends from the past and the present: for your support, confidence, enthusiasm ,encouragement and inspiration!
Thanks to all those wonderful friends below in the testimonials section! They spent their precious time writing a testimonal about me.

If we are Flickr friends, please don't expect me to comment on each photo of yours...Of course I will comment, but...
I'm also used to take long Flickr breaks, especially during Summer time. I want to celebrate life! There's a life beyond Flickr as well.

"Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field."
- Peter Adams -

“I believe in photography as one means of achieving an ultimate happiness and faith.
The quality of place, the reaction to immediate contact with earth and growing things that have a fugal relationship with mountains and sky, is essential to the integrity of our existence on this planet.”
- Ansel Adams -

Today I painted my dream...


"Simply look with perceptive eyes at the world around you,
and trust to your own reactions and convictions.
Ask yourself:
"Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream?
Can I visualize a print - my own personal statement
of what I feel and want to convey - from the subject before me? "
- Ansel Adams -

And unless you photograph what you love, you're not gonna make good art."

    "Annelies photography gives a great sense of warmth and compassion. Through her eyes, she gives a feeling of "being there" with her. When she takes a walk and we walk with her through the forest or countryside. My favorite photos were taken in the Netherlands. It's a beautiful world through her eyes.

    Thank you for your continued friendship, Annelies! You have a heart of gold, dear friend. May we always keep in touch across the ocean.

    "I started following Annelies's stream some two years ago. Since then I have found so much beauty, not only in her pictures, but also in the quotes she adds to them. To me it shows that Annelies is a highly sensitive woman, taking pictures not only for the pictures, but to express her feelings and mood.
    Thanks Annelies for being here and for being a friend."

    "A great soul. That’s a term I reserve for people that I admire deeply. To me, there’s no other way of defining Annelies; she is a great soul. Whether you meet her in her photostream, her comments or her role as admin of so many groups, she touches you. Her talent, insightfulness and social awareness are amazing and stretch out far beyond the boundaries of this flickr community. Some people have the ability to make a better world, just by being present in it and by being what they are; a good and kind hearted person. Annelies is such a person in my opinion, I can testify to that."

I always enjoy your upbeat comments and I feel so comfortable being silly on your page. I think you've also brodened my interest in art. Often here in America the only art you see all day is on your glass from McDonalds, or on someone's T-shirt. So I thank you for that."

    "Her name "Annelies Nature" already explains it well. A Dutch lady who loves
    spent her free time in Nature. Of course she never forgets her camera with a great range of zoom and superb macro! She adds a poem with every photo she uploads. She’s an inspiration and good friend. At Flickr she’s a very busy group administrator and always spends her time to visits her contacts too. Annelies, thank you for your hard work. …While you’re here please visit her amazing photo stream and get inspired too, by words and images :)"

    "I am Horrified to know that I have not given Annelies a testimonial yet beacaue for me her images for the nature of this earth as she sees it are filled with love and compassion, Annelies cares deeply about her world and that shows through in her superb images, from her stunning sunrise and sunsets, her amazing flower shots and of course to Annelies awesome wildlife images, it has been a real honour and privilege to have Annelies as a contact but even more so as a friend, I am so glad she has made me one of her contacts.

Her continuous words of encouragement and friendship are two important things I will treasure for a long time. I'm so glad we've met through Flickr, Annelies.

    She really lets us have a look at the beauty of her country. Every time again she succeeds in taking absolutely amazing shots. Most of them are from nature and art.
    They're so nice too look at and always great with the explanation she put together with her photographs.
    I hope we all may see more of these fantastic shots in the future!"

    "Visitar el portafolio de Annelies es descubrir cada día agradables sorpresas; su lente refleja alegría y la óptica de un espíritu inquieto y libre reflejado en la naturaleza, paisajes y arte. A través de su photostream se observa una constante superación técnica, con diferentes enfoques conceptuales sin que por ello disminuya su autenticidad."
