UPC Mirror Magic at Utrecht

Dear all,

Saturday February 25 I had another meeting with the Urban Photo Collective in Utrecht. This times theme was Mirror Magic and the location was around the Rabo Building in the centre of Utrecht. A building with lots of glass walls and as the weather was sunny lots of mirror magic was expected. 
My results are on my website: Iamnotsimple

If you would also like to see what other photografers made of this theme please go to Flickr.com and do a search on UPC0212
All photos of the Urban Photo Collective members of February will be shown.

Have fun,
Arjan

Ortisei, February 10, 2012

Hi all,

I have finished skiing for this year. Though a bit early, but temperatures dropped till minus 18C on the mountain and with a strong wind it became just to cold in the lifts.
Well, a little bit of metrics then:
During the last 6 days I used 108 different lifts, the total height difference  was 28.661 meters and the total slopes length was 163 km.
This was wintersport for this year, tomorrow I will drive back to Almere which is a total distance of 1.088 km.

CU,
Arjan

Ortisei, February 2012

Hi all,

As the 11 City Skating tour fever in Holland slowly gets to its climax ( will it go on or not!), I am enjoying my yearly wintersport vacation in the beautiful area of Val Gerdena. The start of the week was freezingly cold with daily temparatures of -15C, but now (Wednesday 8 Feb) the temperature in the mountains dropped to only -7 and it is sunny all day. Although the cold we were almost all the week able to have our lunch on the mountain in the outside, just keep out of the wind and in the sunshine!
Tomorrow is Seela Ronda time. A ski tour of about 65 km around the Sella Massive. Mostly it is done clockwise, but this time we go the other way around.


On the picture both routes of the Ronda are signed. Red and Green. We will start in the left upper corner of the picture and go counterclockwise around the Sella Massive (following the green line).
Saturday will be the day of my trip back to Holland.

CU soon,
Arjan
