Welcome to NoarderljochtNoarderljocht (Northern Lights) presents a selecion of my latest photographs. Although my trusty Nikon F3P has been a travel mate for many many years, the photographs on this site are all product of the digital era. Inevitably the mighty 'F' has become a 'D' , a D3 of course.
The two Nikon D3s are never far away and are always within reach on journeys through Scotland and New Zealand. These two exceptional countries, together with my own Fryslân, are a true photographer's paradise. Noarderljocht features subjects, ranging from historic aeroplanes to vulcanoes. The latest photo reports are from Heligoland where we met the gannets nesting high on the red sandstone cliffs. New Zealand photos, include Whakaari (The White Island) and the snow covered volcanoes of the Tongariro. Have a look at the amazing glass art of Dale Chihuly in the Groningen Museum. Further on the 'polar theme': The Spitsbergen (Svalbard) expedition in August 2017. The summer of 2018 brought us back to Scotland: Kintyre, Mull, Iona and Staffa. Recent additions are our photos of Sutton Hoo and the Neolithic flint stone mines at Grime's Graves. On the other side of the North Sea: Viking settlement Haithabu and not to forget our latest photo's from Aotearoa/New Zealand. Enjoy Noarderljocht .......!
