#pinnedpost Nice to meet you all! My name is Dacapo, and I will be your purveyor of landscape, architecture, and animal photography mixed with random sillyness.

If you follow me, here's roughly what you may expect. :-)

The church of saint Peter in Gilze, the Netherlands. Picture taken during a bikeride some time ago. I did not make it home dry that day.

Walking around the town of Gorinchem on a day where the weather decided to show where all those old Dutch master painters got their inspiration from.

Have a lonely, rainy, foggy marshland for #scape day. Photographed a few years ago in the former clay pits near my home village.

A row of houses from the Heuvel neighbourhood of Breda, the Netherlands. One of the first post-WWII expansions of the old city and notable for its houses in traditionalist Bossche School and Delftse School architectural styles.

Another quick snapshot from a recent train journey. Amersfoort Central giving us a 1970 AD vision of what 2000 AD would look like. :-)

A group of elderly people hiking along the road to Lage Zwaluwe, the Netherlands, one summer day. It was about 35 degrees Celcius.

And there I was thinking I was pretty insane for going on a bikeride in that weather.

Signed up for a Soverin mail account plus domain. Let's see how I like it. At least it's nice to have less Google in my life and have more of my data stored in a more stable place.

Next up changing from Flickr to Ipernity (still hosted on Amazon, but at leas no American big-tech business practices.
Does anyone have any experience with Soverin mail? I'm looking for (European) alternatives to my ancient personal Gmail address.
