Winters in the Netherlands are often grey, damp and dark. But every once in a while there’s a perfect crisp morning!

Fairy land
This place looks like it stepped out of a story book. The fall colors make it a truly magical place.
Early morning light
That magical moment when golden light touches the leaves but a chilly morning fog still lies in the distance…
Just before sunrise
This is often the most beautiful time for skies.
Happiness
A misty spring morning with fresh green treen and wild flowers. I’m so happy to live here!
Dawn at the waterhole
Winter is coming, they say. In Pilanesberg the mornings are becoming chilly, with mist that forms over bodies of water like this waterhole. The Egyptian geese are just waking up and arranging their feathers. It’s going to be a lovely day!
Happy new year!
May the light clarify your path, and may your feet find a firm hold. May there be love on the way, and strength… Wishing you all a very happy new year!
Rise and shine
This morning we waited for the sun to rise on a hill overlooking Pretoria. It didn’t happen. It’s still cold and grey outside. Luckily, this is a tradition, and three years ago we were here too, so I give you an old photo. Meanwhile we trust that the rising of the sun – even though it happened behind the clouds – marks a new day and new life. Happy Easter!
Hornbills at dawn
This must be one of the most magical moments I’ve experienced during a game drive: two Southern yellow-billed hornbills at dawn, bowing their heads synchronously toward the rising sun.
