A day at Noordwijk aan Zee

A beautiful red roloplan kite of Toon Hannink

 A hand painted rokkaku (2,5 m high) by Kas Hoorn based on these traditional Japanese woodblocks.  The kite is already 20 years old but didn't loose any of its glamour.

A day at Noorwijk aan Zee

50+5

On my way home from a great birthday party, I saw this beautiful place near De Haan. The white colors of the refurbished farm (now a nice hotel: Kapelhoeve, De Haan) and the yellow colors of  the rapeseed was the perfect combination for a spring feeling. I took this picture with my Canon G12 lifted by my kite at a height of let say 30-40 meter.  For more info about the hotel
