View over Kraków on a fresh January day
Taking photos ever since my uncle and aunt inspired me to buy my first DSL at the age of 16. I was born in Holland, moved to the eastern part of the Netherlands, immigrated to Sweden. Here I wrote a travel guide book as thick as a brick about my new home country, was a correspondent for Belgian and Dutch media and I helped youngsters through Swedish elementary and secondary education. 15 years after settling in the land of the Vikings, I popped over to the southern side of the Baltic Sea, and found my third home in Kraków, Poland. The third time's the charm.
From Kraków, I roam through Poland and beyond - capturing moments and writing stories about places close by or far away. I hope they inspire you to indulge yourself in all that beauty that Europe has to offer.
Some of the most mysterious places, for me, are the borders between countries. Crossing a border feels like something special, even if - especially in Europe - nothing much seem to happen. One normally drives on without being stopped. But borders are under pressure many parts of the world, including in Europe. Do visit my newest photo album of two border towns that were one until 1945: Zgorzelec in Poland and Görlitz in Germany.
