220. This photograph was taken almost straight down from a cliff, it causes an alienating effect.

219. "Trees nr. 35"
Five minutes before I took this photograph it was not interesting at all. All of a sudden there was this beautiful skimming light. Five minutes later the light was gone again and the tree on the right was hardly visible anymore. (copyright: Henk Bakker)

E.g.
All the books by Josie Dew.

215. During this holiday at last, we saw some puffins close-up. In 1999 we searched for days in Iceland and in 2000 in Norway, both times without results. It is a fairly tame bird. This picture was taken in the same area as 213 and 214.

214. In the neighbourhood of Durness. This is a small town in the northwest of Scotland. Beautiful dunes overgrown with marram (beach grass) See also picture nr. 213.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Read a lot of books during the holidays.
For instance:
THE WOMAN IN WHITE by Wilkie Collins. Published in 1860.
This book is sometimes called the first detective and in my opinion one of the best ones. It was the third time that I read it, but it's still as gripping as the first time.
THE PALE HORSE by Agatha Christie.
I thought I read all the books by Christie, but this one I found in a secondhand bookshop in Scotland.
DEAD FAMOUS by Ben Elton.
Ben Elton is my favourite stand-up comedian. I didn't know he wrote books too. He wrote for Blackadder, The Young Ones and The Thin Blue Line. This is also a detective, but very funny at the same time and it works for 100%. It's about a British "Big Brother" house. A murder is committed under the eyes of millions of television viewers, but nobody could see who actually did it. A razor-sharp satire on the tv-world and so called famous people. I bought all the books by Elton and they are all fabulous.

On August 3 Henri Cartier- Bresson died, in my opinion the greatest photographer of all times:

212. In the coming weeks photographs taken on our summertrip to Scotland, the Lakedistrict and Yorkshire. We took our own camper on the ferry IJmuiden- Newcastle. The weather was reasonable. Not always suitable for good photography. But once in a while dramatic skies when the sun came out for a minute.
