Last Sunday evening it finally worked out. I had a fun workshop night photography with Rutger Bus. At earlier attempts, including one in the US, the weather did not cooperate, but now it was fairly clear. With a small group of people we went to the Aekingerzand near Appelscha, one …
Last week we went to Wonderwereld in Ter Apel for an afternoon. In this small recreational park you will find amazingly imaginative caves with trolls and other magical creatures, as well as a small mini zoo. They have owls and other birds of prey, some monkeys and a serval. The …
