This young lady was on stilts.
Thought her make-up was very photogenic. Catchy. Very well done.
And I also just love the way she’s looking into my lens.
Many thanks to her!

Chess


Jong geleerd, oud gedaan …

IMG_5757-schaken-vW


According to my dictionary the translation for the Dutch saying I’m using as title is:
"Who learns young, forgets not when he is old."


That title is my husbands brainwave.
He was watching me uploading this image, saying he still had a lot to learn about
all of this photo blogging stuff but before I ended thinking
"What title shall I give this image" he came up with this one
making me look up to him in amazement.
Just so you know, he’s good at this type of split second sharpness.
Yes, if he ever starts posting I’ll let you know.
But for now, "Thank you very much for the title, Honey!"


This is a simultaneous chess play in a department store in Assen.
I’ve learnt it was part of the programme for the Open Drents Youth Championship.
The young man was playing against +- seven players.
Who ever wanted could sit down and test his or hers chess play against his.
One of these players told me he is thirteen years old and quit a talent.


My special thanks goes to the gentlemen you are looking at for giving me permission to
post this image I made of him during his play against this young talent.
"I thank you very much mister Tinus S. "

I enjoyed the most.
At it’s very end, like a surprise, as

Authentic … colorful … beautiful dancing …
beautiful faces … my photographic passion
has been contented.

Thialf

Looking-up-70 quality


Looking up at the roof of Thialf ice skating rink.
Shot during midday pause at the ‘Follow the Christ’, District Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses,
that took place last weekend in Thialf, Heerenveen. (Dutch province of Friesland)

Frisian TV broadcasted about this Convention:
(interesting side note is you’re about to hear how ‘Fries’
- the local language of Friesland province – sounds.
Interviewed Herman Maijer and Eljada Mets-Dekker are the ones talking Dutch.)

Omrop Fryslan


A local newspaper also wrote a very nice article about this convention of ours.
It’s of course written in Dutch, but maybe Babel Fish could help you understand it a little bit:
Friesch Dagblad

This same convention will also be held at
the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht from 27-29 July (also in English)
and there again from 3-5 August.
From 10-12 August at the Expo Center in Hengelo.

If you would like to know how ‘Following the Christ’ can help you
improve your family life, deal with life’s difficult problems,
draw closer to God and even greater, gain everlasting life(!) do feel free
to come and attend to this Convention.
You’re very welcome!
Admission is always free and there won’t be no collections taken.
Programme starts at 9.20 am.

Of course you might be living in another country.
This same Convention is still also to be held in many countries all over the world.
So look out for the invitation campaign of your local Jehovah’s Witnesses or
just pull on their sleeves and ask if it’s still to be hold in your country.

Omhoog kijkend naar het dak van Thialf.

Deze foto is genomen tijdens de middagpauze van het
‘Volg de Christus’ Districtscongres van Jehovah’s Getuigen,
dat afgelopen weekend werd gehouden in Thialf, Heerenveen.

De Friese tv zender heeft een korte uitzending aan dit Congres besteed:
Omrop Fryslan


Ook was er een leuk artikel in het Friesch Dagblad:
Friesch Dagblad

Ditzelfde Congres zal ook plaats vinden in de Jaarbeurs
te Utrecht van 27-29 juli (ook in het Engels) en van 3-5 augustus.
In het Expo Center in Hengelo zal het zijn van 10-12 augustus.


Als je zou willen weten hoe je gezinsleven te verbeteren,
om te gaan met de problemen van het leven,
een hechtere band met God te krijgen en eeuwig leven te krijgen (!)
voel je dan vrij om een van deze Congressen bij te wonen.
Je bent van harte welkom!

Entree is altijd gratis en er zijn geen collectes.
Het programma begint s’morgens om 9:20 uur.

Het kan natuurlijk zo zijn dat je in het buitenland woont.
Ditzelfde Congres zal nog steeds in verschillende landen worden gehouden.
Kijk daarom uit naar de uitnodiging van de locale Jehovah’s Getuigen of
trek gewoon even aan hun mouw en vraag ernaar.

I invite You …

Invitation


In case my brothers and sisters haven’t been able to give you one of these invitations yet – in your own language,
of course – please accept this one as my personal invitation to you:

Commemorate with us the death of the greatest human of all time, Jesus Christ, on the evening of April 2, 2007 and learn who he is and why we should commemorate his death.
This commemoration will take place, world-wide, at every Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

For more specific details on time and place … just pull the sleeve of a local Witness as soon as you see one and ask.
If it is difficult for you to find them, you could also contact the Office branch of your country.


~~#~~


Ingeval jij deze uitnodiging niet hebt ontvangen …
Hierbij nodig ik je van harte uit om de dood van de grootste mens aller tijden samen met ons te herdenken op 2 april 2007. Deze herdenking en de uitleg wie Jezus is en waarom wij zijn dood moeten herdenken, zal op die avond in elke Koninkrijkzaal van Jehovah’s Getuigen worden gehouden.

Voor specifieke tijden en plaats kijk uit naar boven afgebeelde uitnodiging, trek even aan de mouw van één van de Getuigen, kijk of er een contact adres is in jouw plaatselijk telefoonboek of stuur mij een berichtje en ik zal kijken of ik het dichtstbijzijnde adres voor je kan achterhalen.

Congreshal/ Assembly Hall

Kringhal

Vandaag waren wij hier.
De congreshal van Jehovah’s Getuigen te Swifterbant.
Deze keer voor een ééndagsvergadering.
Vooral vanwege de tuin van deze hal neem ik iedere keer het fototoestel mee.
Deze foto’s zijn bij een vorige vergadering gemaakt.
Boven zie je de lichtstraat gezien vanaf de entreehal. Links is de gehoorzaal. En zo ziet het er vanaf de buitenkant uit.
Morgen zal ik enkele foto’s van de tuin laten zien.

Today we were here.

This time for a one day meeting.
Tomorrow I’ll show you some pictures of it’s garden. The primary reason why I take the camera allong.
The picture above is of the main entrance.

Moon eclipse

Moon


On the night of March 3 to 4, there was a eclipse of the moon.
I tried making pictures of it and got completly desapointed of the results.
Told everybody I failled …
Today I finally uploaded these pictures to the computer, and discovered that one thing I did do right …
I saved them as RAW!
So, with Photoshop Elements I was able to rescue this one.
:mrgreen:


~~ # ~~


Mijn poging om foto’s te maken van de maansverduistering aan het begin van deze maand was compleet mislukt!
Dat dacht ik en dat vertelde ik ook aan iedereen die het horen wilde.
Vandaag heb ik deze ‘mislukkelingen’ eindelijk naar de computer geupload, en wat bleek?
Één ding had ik toen toch nog goed gedaan … Ze opnemen als RAW bestand.
Op die manier heb ik met Photoshop Elements toch nog één foto van de maansversduitering tevoorschijn weten te toveren.
