The views in the Netherlands are certainly very different from those in
Switzerland. The flat landscape here accentuates the clouds and the
light, and so this is my theme this week. One day, while driving on the
motorway near my home, I saw  the approaching storm along the dike, and
I just had to capture the combination of dark clouds and sunshine:

Here is the view along the dike; I have posted more or less this same
image in B&W a few weeks ago, but the sky was much more dramatic this
time:

The second alternate has nothing to do with the other two. It shows an
object of my desires when I was a teenager in Denmark in the 70s. It is
a 50cc motorcycle, called Zündapp, German I suppose, which we all craved

because it could be made to go something like 100 km/h with relatively
little fiddling. And here I see one, thirty years later, right in
Almere:

All three pictures taken with Leica CL, 40mm Summicron, on Ektachrome
100G.

and comments/critique are as always welcome and appreciated.
