Iglesia del Carmen, Coyoacán México



Del Carmen Church at Coyoacan Mexico is one of the most common places to visit at the south of the city. People enjoy to walk around and then go inside the church and see the way deep faith lives.

I visited in one of that moments when not much people was around and capture the feeling this place gives when is just alone and ready to receive its parishioners.

Eastern White-bearded Wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus albojubatus)



In our four wheel drive safari vehicle we were blocking the route of these wildebeest, wildebeests or wildebai inside the Ngorongoro crater (Tanzania - East Africa).

Some Wildebeest facts:
- their name originates from the Dutch langue and means "wild beast"
- also known as gnus because of their call sound
- a herd of gnu possesses what is known as a "swarm intelligence" (they systematically explore and overcome a obstacle as one)
- is a hooved mammal (antelope)
- live in more densely packed herds than any other large mammal, except for humans :-)

Dedicated to My Beloved Mom



This photo was truly inspired by my Mom's love for me. I went to the public market to buy a new fresh small white flowers and then i started to experiment and explore new different ideas on Photography. The only thing that came into my mind into that day when i captured it is my Mom. You know what day is it when I took this picture? It's my Mom's birthday.. Through this photo I will be able to show to the world that I greatly and proudly loved my Mom. Before I still have the time to let her feel how I truly love her then I will do it again and again. Doing all these little things would never be enough and I know I can't repay all the warmth she gave me. One thing is just for sure, even if I will be given another life I would still her to be my one and only Mom. I would like to leave these questions to everyone: HAVE YOU EVER SHOWED YOUR LOVE TO YOUR MOM? DID YOU EVEN SAY THANK YOU? (Do it  before it's too late than living in a regretful life..)

sunset over the Amalfi coast



sunset over the Amalfi coast, originally uploaded by jjamv.

" I have never seen more gracious places. The first you find is Maiori.... The solitary streets and tranquil trails enter into the mountain, from which clear and fresh waters spring. So much romantic solitude restores one's soul and gives birth to the desire to live there in peace, or at least spend a summer." Ferdinand Gregorovius, 1861

I am of Dutch origin, grew up in Amsterdam and lived most of my life in England. Other countries I lived in were Spain, France and Germany .I'm 63, retired 10 years ago and my wife is Italian.

eiffel tower... cliché



The photo is obviously of the Eiffel tower in France in late December of 2006. It was my first and only visit to Paris and the tower seemed very overwhelming. I think the clouds made the photo especially interesting.

Just use my website as a link to my photography:
