We have to go deeper, to see what lies beneath.

CWWC: The way to the top

Posted on January 6, 2024January 6, 2024 by Marion Driessen

This week’s CWWC-challenge is: Which ways with snow or the color white. Since snow hasn’t shown its face yet in the Netherlands, I chose a photo I made in Montreuil-sur-Mer last August, with white bricks and clouds.

Where does your road take you today?

FOTD: garlic of society

Posted on January 1, 2024 by Marion Driessen

At Malta, I spotted these tiny pink flowers. A Google search told me it is called ‘Society Garlic.’ The plants have a milder flavor than traditional garlic. The leaves can be chopped and used in a variety of dishes, and the flowers may serve as a garnish.

Childhood dream castle still stands tall

Posted on December 31, 2023 by Marion Driessen

Whenever I’m in my hometown, the beautiful castle of Hoensbroek keeps calling out until I stretch my legs and take a walk… and a photo, time and again. It is what we see when we open the curtains of my parents’ house.

There are lots of birds in the water and on the green pastures around the castle: majestic white swans, gray herons, ducks and moorhens. We even had a nesting pair of storks, which resulted in three adorable chicks last year!
