It was just before 9 pm; I had delivered the shopping on VallyP's barge and hurried back to the quayside to take the pictures.
The barge with the red rim around the bum is my Luxor. Val's barge, Vereeniging is hidden behind the Luxor.
Here is our neighbour Nico's sailing clipper (paintwork in progress).
Now it is just after 10 pm the same evening.
Long live digital photography, the internet and Apple computers.
Soon to be published: an article about my 12-string Eko guitar.

Ho ho glad to see I get a mention too! Shame you can't see me, but a rare and beautiful sight there, Skipper!
Hi Koos,
Been faring at the same moment with my girlfriend Katinka on our small canal tourboat (De Opwaarts)at the same time.
We brought a bottle of wine. Less sun over here though compared to Rotterdam. But it remains nice to be on the water.

A small canal tourboat, a bottle of wine, a quiet evening around an old fortified place, all this shared with a classy Dutch woman, what more can a man want?
Gefeliciteerd Erik-Jan en Katinka.
What lovely pictures, Koos. I can't wait to see the barges for real.
Have a lovely weekend.

Very nice pics indeed and praise to digital photography :-)
I love that first shot Koos! Absolutley stunning!
Barry was busy again today as well. He's gone and bought a new filter for our baby... nice results!
Dear Koos
Oh, how I love the late evening sun!
I also love the old buildings shaping your horizon!
There are no historic, so to speak, buildings around here. I do miss that aspect of Montreal, where massive stone walls & green copper roofing go hand in hand.
You have a certain magic with the shutter, Koos!
Love
Dale
Oh & by the way, if Val is unable to lend me her bilge pump, may I borrow yours?
Our basement requires a wee bit of bailing out...
Hi Dale
As a result of bad logistics I have a bilge pump to spare. Your Canadian 60Hz won't be a problem, the 110 Volt may pose a complication, mine was designed for 220. Changing the connectors is a minor issue...
Oh how serious.
Thanks for your comment on the light. That nifty little camera has a hungry eye. I only need to follow - well, sort of.
Koos,
Check out Pete's blog. It's back on!

What a nice time of year where you are. Beautiful light. Interesting bridge.
Always enjoying your photos, Elizabeth
Hey, Koosje, I was up till the wee hours finishing another chapter. I'm afraid Anne Marie has beaten you to it, but as always, your opinion is my guide....waiting...
Every time I see these photos, I catch my breath - even tho it's my world too!
