Rainy days

Rotterdam (Netherlands)

While we are making a home in Banyoles (Catalonia) and I unearth my camera and start taking pictures here, I will post some photos of Dutch scenes that I made before our move. This one reminds me of the rain and storm that will be very rare here.

Television report

Recently I was in Rotterdam and happened to pass the rear entrace of the court of justice where a television crew was getting ready to cover the arrival of a police van with a couple of men accused of terrorism.

The left man is looking out for the van, while the right man in which I recognized the reporter Jan Willem Hofs, is fiddling with his microphone transmitter. Later that day I watched the whole coverage on the eight o’ clock news.

Cinema reflections

As I love going to the movies, I am often found in an industrial and office area of Rotterdam that in itself is not especially interesting for street photographers.

Yet for me this is a strong incentive to take my camera and try and capture some pictures with people in these for me not very attractive surroundings.

This girl was waiting for the cinema to open and apparently looking for something in her purse. The glass façade reflecting the parked bicycles and the buildings at the other side of the street persuaded me to take this photo.
