Cold day in Helsinki

We had -20 degrees Celcius today in Helsinki. It was cold, but beautiful. The sun was shining and the sky was nice blue. In the harbour I saw this ship, front was covered with a layer of ice. It really gives the feeling of this
"Artic" weather, brrr....

Blue door



Chefchaouen in Morocco is a small town in the Riff mountains. The blue colour which they use to paint the old houses is amazing. The light reflected from those walls is almost mysterious. It's not difficult to wonder around
for days and just watch all those small alley's and the nice painted doors

Wild apes in Morocco



Around the waterfalls of Ouzoud, Morocco, are living three groups of wild apes. Each group consist of about 70 animals. Luckily they are nowdays protected. About 10 years ago there were only some 40 monkeys left. We were lucky to see just a new born in one of the groups.

Seagulls on Plage Blanche

An early morning on Plage Blanche, Morocco. This is a beautiful beach with kilometers of pure clean sand. Some fishermen are living in huts on the beach, otherwise there is nobody living there. One morning the seagulls were all waiting for something, don't know what...The weather was very different from any other day, the wind was bringing very humid and salty air.

Happy Neighbours or neigbours from Hell?

Those "Happy Neighbours" we saw on Samos Island, Greece. One house nicely fixed and the other fallen apart. What a difference! When I made some pictures
an old man came to look what I was doing and told that the house, which is now
fallen apart, used to be a bar. He showed me the wall painting inside, must have been quite a while ago that the bar was in use...
