"Little Pleij." Westervoort, Holland.

Nothing is more relaxing than a afternoon practice in the field

although it's still quite grey, it getting lighter and lighter.

They even forecast a little summer this week, that will be something!!

A pleij is a floodplain btw. it is not so common anymore the call it

'uiterwaarden' now a days. Pleij you could pronounce it like play.

Yesterdays effort, a little view of the train track towards our

it has to cross a river, the IJssel.

Anyway with these kinds of summers everything is soo green, but also so gray.

"Flat light." Westervoort, Holland.

This is no summer, this is a ongoing continuation of

grey rain and rainy greys, ...

Richard Schmid can say it's perfect to paint outdoor under these

light but there is no sparkle what so ever. This ones done in a nearby

park, and Richard is right about the light, it never changes, ...
