November 18th, 2009 | Posted in Airliners, Extreme Experiences, Publications, Travel

Landing on a tiny mountain lake with a floatplane is a fantastic experience wherever you are. But in this weather and in one of the most stunning places on earth: Tofino, Vancouver Island, it was simply and totally unforgettable. More on this trip for ANWB REIZEN Magazine very soon.

Many thanks go out to Tofino Air for making this one hour flight possible.

The plazas of Barcelona, full gallery.

July 17th, 2009 | Posted in Publications, Travel

Just a lot of photo’s to enjoy from the “Plazas of Barcelona” article for ANWB Reizen magazine. Full gallery here or start the slideshow.

Placa Catalunya, the massive square in downtown Barcelona. Filled with shoppers, people on their way from and to work and zillions of pigeons and touristst feeding them.

This has got to be my favorite square in the town: St. Maria del Mar. The church is amazing but the square is empty and boring… that is: until a wedding starts and usually one doesn’t have to wait long for that to happen.

The market of Santa Catarina is built on the old ruins of a monastery of XIII century and is a great place for photo’s like this couple having lunch.

The Parade del Gigantes also starts and finishes at this amazing Placa de St. Maria del Mar, famous for it’s Church and plentyful weddings.

Placa Virreine is a good place to chill and get some coffee as these elder people show.

The ten best squares of Barcelona

June 28th, 2009 | Posted in Publications, Travel

In the June issue of ANWB REIZEN (Travel) a ten-page article on the best squares of Barcelona with some nice blow-up images. The opening spread is one of my favorite images from last year, one thet I really had to crawl into the crowd to get: the wedding ceremony with all the rice. Next week I hope to find some time to upload all the images from this shoot, one of my favorite ones by far as I really tried to get up close and personal with my subjects.

Cycling from Prague to Dresden in ANWB REIZEN Magazine.

May 5th, 2009 | Posted in Publications, Travel

Cycling from Prague to Dresden, along the Elbe, was on my mind last summer. Together with travel journalist Kees Lucassen we put on short pants, packed our cycling bags and headed out for a six-day cycling bonanza along the Czech Republic and (East) German countryside. A fantastic trip that had us enjoy two great cities, tons of sunlight, one massive downpour and one of the most stunning places I have ever been to: Rathen. Soon to be found on my site as an entry into my “favorite vies of the world”.

The article is in Dutch and was published in May 2009 in the largest travel publication in the Netherlands: ANWB REIZEN.

Turkey under water [sorry, in Dutch only]

May 27th, 2008 | Posted in Scuba, Travel

Vanuit het heldere water zwemmen we een tunnel in. Een mysterieus licht schittert ons tegemoet. We komen terecht in water omgeven door rotswanden. Langzaam stijgen we op. Eenmaal boven voelen we de zonnestralen in ons gezicht. Ze vallen door een spleet in het plafond van de grot naar binnen. Dit is puur genieten.

Ver weg? Welnee! We zitten in Turkije en om precies te zijn aan de groene zuidwestkust. Een weekje duiken en relaxen aan boord van de Emma Rosa, een echte Turkse gulet. Het schip maakt wekelijks duikcruises langs de baaien rond Fethiye. Een week lang duiken en relaxen, niet alleen voor ervaren duikers, maar juist ook voor mensen die voor het eerst kennis willen maken met de wereld onder de waterspiegel.

Bulgaria’s Black Sea Coast

May 21st, 2008 | Posted in Publications, Travel

For the largest Dutch travel monthly: ANWB REIZEN Magazine, May 2008 issue, I did a full report on the Black Sea coast at the end of the summer of 2007. Focus of the article was the “Betonpolitie” or “Concrete Police”: a series of articles that asks the question if there is too much building going on at certain destinations that were renowned for their untouched beauty. In this case the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. As it turns out, a lot of the coastal line has been heavily overdeveloped but I still managed to find a few relatively untouched places along the way. Not an easy article to make as I was travelling alone and I manage to do about 1600 kilometres in one week to find all the good bits.
