11 o’clock seagulls

When at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Set out to prove my Lumiere point ones again and no luck. First minute is the best.
Missing the sound a bit because the bell in the small tower was telling it’s listeners it’s 11 o’clock.

Uphill flowers

This little hill within a park was covered with wild flowers. Absolutely beautiful. In our little country we have the tendency decide what nature should look like. We are slowly letting go, and the results are amazing.

Celebrating the early morning rain from my save warm and dry home. This post is inspired on the blandlands of Aaron Valdez

Rain

We have been waiting for rain for a long time. It’s finally here and still it’s not going on for days and days as I can remember when I was a child. Rain is a good thing. This post is inspired on the blandlands of Aaron Valdez

ode to spring

erikvisser — Thu, 10 May 2007 22:02:26 +0000

I wanted to make this movie more than a month ago. Telling you that spring came a month earlier that last year. It now is an ode to spring, the celebration of life on the Josef Israelskade in Amsterdam.
I ride though this street, on my bike with my two boys, almost daily for 3 years now and at the beginning of spring I become very very happy and drive as slow as possible.

The music is from cbk at ccmixter.com.

The movie is a 180 MB and 5m20s celebration of sun, flowers, water, people and birds.
For those who are gifted with time and patience. Enjoy.
Could use some guidance with video compression, anyone?

my neighbor the little bird

The seventh in the series called “my neighbors” (more to come). I’m always fascinated with the life I share this planet / biosphere with. An ode to them. They have my respect and love. We are one.

Bathing Elephants

erikvisser — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 21:59:58 +0000

I have never seen these Elephants in Artis Zoo (Amsterdam) this happy. I filmed them after they were hosed down by their keepers.
Artis is an historical Zoo and they are very slow in modernizing the way they keep animals. They say because of lack of space and money but I think they should learn to prioritize. It’s a crime that the Elephants have as much space as the Pelicans.

Every time I go there I’m embarrassed. I shouldn’t support it. But my kids make me ignore my principles on some issues (and more aware on others).
