I have a long commute to work, about 120 km, so most days I stop on the 
way, either to buy gas, take a leak, buy a drink, or just to explore the 
scenery along the way, particularly if the light looks interesting. Last 
  week's PAWs are a product of such stops, near the river Waal between 
Utrecht and Den Bosch. Especially at this time of year, in the morning 
you often have a combination of fog and the rising sun that can make for 
interesting images, and both in the morning you have clouds and rain--no 
shortage of that here in the Netherlands!

The first two were taken right by the river in the morning. For those 
familiar with Dutch geography, the location is off exit 17 on the A2 
motorway:

The next two were taken not far from there, but in late afternoon, on my 
way home. A shepherd tends to his flock:

and a bit later, a rainbow touches down on a farm:

Enough for this pastoral stuff. The final two images are a portrait and 
a funny image (I hope). First, the portrait, of the sons of one of my 
friends in Belgium (incidentally, taken at close distance with the 50mm 
Summilux R):

And then the funny one. Many Oriental restaurants have a fishbowl; and 
most Japanese restaurants have a sushi chart on the wall. But I have 
never seen such a juxtaposition of these two items, as spotted here in a 
Japanese restaurant in Hilversum. I wonder what the fish think...
