The same book store in a church in Maastricht. The book is opened on the page with Rembrandt’s famous ‘Night Watch’. Not to be confused with the organisation with the same name from Game of Thrones. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
A rainy afternoon in Maastricht, the Netherlands, spent in a church-turned-bookstore. Three levels of books and a coffee bar area. Brilliant. This photograph is taken again with the Meyer Trioplan ‘soap bubble bokeh’ lens. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
It should be clear by now that I like rusty old metal, weathered wood and chipping paint. More than enough to be found in the old warehouses near the Liverpool docks. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
The strong lines and the bright orange ring at the vanishing point of the railings appealed to me. A spontaneous study in composition. Picture was taken al Albert dock. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
Still continuing a bit with the house fronts. Nice colourful composition with the bike and doors. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
Just a bit of fun. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
This photograph is shot twice, so to speak. I miss shooting with my old Rolleiflex medium format camera. The best thing was looking down onto the large matte glass viewfinder. The shiny thing in the lower side is a fold-out magnifying glass. Nice but very unpractical in the days of digital. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
Seagulls in Liverpool are big! This fellow was sitting atop a stone wall and let me chase him around a bit before deciding he’d had enough. This photograph was taken with the Meyer Optik Primagon 35 mm lens, an oldie. For a shot like this, you’d normally select a tele lens. Good thing the animal was not all that impressed by me creeping up really close. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
Both look a bit alike, all square and spiky. I liked them side by side. As mentioned in the previous post, the cathedral towers over the roofs of Liverpool. &post; 2016 Fred S. Wouters
After the last two pictures of the catholic cathedral in Liverpool, I’ll compensate with the other – church of England – cathedral. Here as seen from Pilgrim Street. Slightly gloomy atmosphere was enhanced intensionally by a little bit of color desaturation. With these two buildings, you’re never lost as you can see at least one of them from almost everywhere. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
