Latest News, February 2026

  • In February 2026, we visited the Hoenderdaell Zoo at Anna Paulowna (in North Holland province) and saw the Canadian Eagle Owl - picture below. This is not one of our usual pics in-the-wild, but for such a beautiful bird we make an exception.

  • In October 2025, the Schagen Photoclub visted the province of Friesland, with its many picturesque villages and the old "Woudagemaal", a steam-driven pumping station that was built in 1920 and is still active (if needed). It is now also a Unesco world heritage site and open for guided tours when not in action. It is an ideal site for some 360 panos; the Boilerhouse, the Main Hall and the Outside (backside). Below a picture from the main hall.

  • In August 2025, the Schagen photoclub visited 2 old windmills: "De Onderneming" in Hippolytushoef and "De Hoop" " in Den Oever. Pano's can be seen HERE (Mill De Onderneming) and HERE (Mill De Hoop, ground floor), HERE (De Hoop, first floor), HERE (De Hoop, second floor) and HERE (De Hoop, third floor). Some other pics HERE.

  • Late June 2025 we went to Jaca, Spain with Henkjan Kievit, to photograph butterfies and various insects.
    We were not disappointed. All in all, our group saw more than 80 species of butterflies. There is now a Jaca page under "Photo Gallery". Below (2nd pic) a picture of a praying mantis we saw. They don't look too friendly, but they do make for nice pictures.

  • Early June 2025We spent a couple of days in the Eifel region of Germany, looking for butterflies, insects and the picturesque town of Monschau. A 360 pano of the town can be seen HERE and some pics from the trip HERE.
    One of the pics can be seen below (3rd pic).


 

A Little Planet (for Social Distancing)

What's the plan?

Later this year we intend to visit the Baltic states (birds, landscape) and Italy (butterflies).
