Zandvoort again

After not having travelled anywhere outside Amsterdam for over a month, I was restless. It was at 2 PM, on a lazy saturday, I decided that I had to do get out and do something. But given that it gets dark by 4.30 PM during winters, I was left with one choice of place – Zandvoort beach, which was only an hour away by public transportation and I had absolutely no complaints about it, for I can spend days just watching the waves.

I reached just in time to be able to capture some amazing beach-scapes, self portraits and few long exposures.

Texel Island

After a failed attempt to take off to Giethoorn, me and a friend took off on an impromptu bike trip at the Texel Islands in the North of Holland. We reached the island after an hour on the train to Den Halder followed by a Boat ride to the island, not before accidentally trespassing into the adjacent military docks and eventually getting kicked out by the security personal who showed up out of nowhere figured we were harmless tourists who couldn’t read dutch.

We only managed to bike half of the island, along the incredible dutch country side, which in itself turned out to be a 35kms round trip. It being a sunday, we had to turn back, to be just in time for the last ferry.
