A night of fishing

Posted on by Posted in Photography, Special event Leave a comment

Friday/Saturday night I went out for a night of fishing with Ad (my brother in law) and another friend of him.
Allthought we didnt catch much it was a perfect evening/night/morning to spend outsite and cook, drink and make photos.
It was great to sleep outside under just my tarp again, thats been a while since I did that, and Ad his cooking skills on the woodfire created a great late-night dinner!

I did no geotagging on the photos to keep his fishingspot (only reachable by boat) a bit hidden, a few of the photos are in the album below.
Two of them I like very much and you see the usual frame around it.

Thanks Ad and Maurits for a very enjoyable outdoor moment.

Stuck on A12 highway due storm taking down trees

Posted on by Posted in Special event Leave a comment

Ok im in the car now on the A12 highway at exit nieuwerbrug. Some huge thunderstorm took down trees as thick as a mans head. Its a total chaos and 500m in front of me the firemen seem to be sawing people out of cars being smashed by trees. No clue how long this will take but im happy my car only got hit by small branches.

UPDATE 23:23

Ok im home again. After being stuck about 90 minutes the road was cleared again and I could continue. Looking back I have been pretty lucky and with me many people there !
It rained so much you couldnt see anything. I heard things banging against my car .. when the rain was gone everything was changed, parts of trees (upto a men head thick)  were everywhere, trough car windshields even.
That was a pretty scary moment, was happy I had a sturdy car there and no BIG parts of trees hit me.
One nice thing is that after the storm many guys got out of their cars afterwards and started trowing trees over the siderails. Excelent teamwork between total strangers. Some part of the trees were so big it took several men to lift it !

Some phone photos/videos below to give you and idea .. but im happy to be home again ! Gonna check my car tomorrow in daylight to see if/how many scratches and dents I got :)
