Three days at the river delta
I went to the river delta with a pocket camera and no particular plan. Halfway through I switched to black and white, which suited the grey but generous weather much better.

Long shadows and small boats
A friend suggested a lighthouse at the end of the spit months ago, and this week I finally went. The café near a lighthouse at the end of the spit still serves the same cinnamon buns; I had two and pretended it was research.

What snow tracks taught me
A friend suggested a village bakery months ago, and this week I finally went. Shooting with a pocket camera meant I had to get closer than I am used to, which was uncomfortable at first.

A morning at an empty beach in November
I went to an empty beach in November with a cheap zoom from a flea market and no particular plan. The light was still, and bicycles kept pulling my attention away from anything I had planned to photograph.

Slow afternoon at a birch grove after rain
The alarm went off before dawn, and by six I was already at a birch grove after rain. Halfway through I switched to black and white, which suited the soft weather much better.

A short walk: a quiet monastery
Some places are better in the off-season, and a quiet monastery is one of them. On the way home the train was nearly empty, so I reviewed the day's notes and planned the next trip.

A morning at the salt marshes
Some places are better in the off-season, and the salt marshes is one of them. I tried a few long exposures, but the wind had other ideas. The handheld shots turned out better anyway.

Notes from the canal district
It has been a while since my last trip to the canal district. Locals barely noticed me. A man feeding gulls told me the place looks completely different in spring.

Three days at a hillside vineyard
The forecast promised rain, so naturally I headed to a hillside vineyard. I tried a few long exposures, but the wind had other ideas. The handheld shots turned out better anyway.

Three days at a quiet monastery
It has been a while since my last trip to a quiet monastery. The path was muddy and longer than the map suggested, but the view at the end made up for it.

Notes from a mountain hut above the treeline
I went to a mountain hut above the treeline with a 28mm lens and no particular plan. There is something calming about returning to the same spot and noticing small changes since the last visit.

Learning to see early light
A friend suggested a village bakery months ago, and this week I finally went. On the way home the train was nearly empty, so I reviewed the day's notes and planned the next trip.
