wandelgraaf's photostream  

wenn i looked at the photographs i took aftherwards on the computer you always see things that you don't see when you actually takes the photograph, i did not saw when a group of greater wite-fronted geese flew above a group of the black and white Barnacle geese, it makes an unusual look

i spotted these Wild Boar close to Berg and Bos in Apeldoorn and to my surprise i saw six newly born piglets, wich seems to be only a few days old they where very active so the mother became tired and the little one saw an excellent oppertunity to use her as a sofa, to be safe and warm, and it is still februari, the previous early must been the end of march, i have seen the first lamb this season in a field near Kootwijkerbroek aswell, and that only two weeks afther a very cold winter

This Konikhorse in the Oostvaardersplassen in the Netherlands was very uneasy and totally on it's self and made a lot of noise and snorting, at the time the day was coming to an end

one out of the old shoebox again

This is a picture out of the old shoebox, it was a very hard photo to take because of the depth of the branches and leaves, wich made it hard to get him focused, and he wasn't sitting still for a second, so afther making a few pictures of him, i was pleased with this version of him catching the berry, wich i not saw when it was happening, but only on a larger screen, a redwing is a bird wich you not see everyday in, and is a migrating bird wich are only seen in the autumn and late winter in Holland mostly for a few days when they migrate in large numbers from africa to russia and scandinavia vice versa, some of them are also residing, but that is a very low number

This is the historic town of Sloten in the provence of Friesland is one of the city of what is called the Elfsteden on the day that what is in the Netherlands of mythological proportian's De Elfstedentocht a skating tour of over 200km, and the last time it was held it was 1997, it can only kept during very hard winters, and everything looked it would happen this time, The Rayonhoofden wich is a group of people which every single one is responsible for his own sector were meeting, it has the same effect here as when in Rome there is white smoke, or when the first alien arives from space on earth, we would go on this special day to Friesland Tour or no Tour, the winter looked beautiful today, and calling of the tour, i understand, because in this corner of Friesland there where the most problems, and with a few on the ice here it was okay, but a little back there was a bridge wich is in the route, and it was impossible to pass it with 16.000 participants and hundreds of thousands of fans near or on the ice, The Elfstedentocht is also for the cyclists in the late spring, i cycled it once i believed in 1988, so a long time a go and reasonable to do,
