Latest News, April 2026

  • In April 2026 we made a boattrip with Martijn de Jonge, in the IJsseldelta, looking for eagles, ospreys, harriers and whatever else would come our way. Below, a picture of a crow harrassing an eagle.

  • In March 2026 we waited for the moon to rise behind the Leonide mill at the town of Anna Paulowna. It was a clear evening, with little wind.

  • 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. Renee won first prize with this pic at our local Schagen Photoclub. Peter won 2nd prize with the picture of kids at the edge of a swimmingpool - upside down.

  • 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).

  • 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.

What's the plan?
