We are sailing

This past week I went down to visit my brother and his family again, and to celebrate my second niece’s birthday. On Wednesday and Thursday we went out on the big lake Sommen in a sailing boat. The idea was to sail, but long story short we only did a little bit of sailing and a lot of engine running.

Since we were going to be out on the sea I decided to bring my old Nikon D700 instead of the new camera. I put my 35 mm lens on it, since on the boat there would be less space, and I thought a wider view might help. Here are some of my favourite photos from the week.

The little one has a knack for cleaning up the environment, here she has found a piece of metal lying around in the harbour.

Olav put his head in the doorway and gave me this opportunity to capture how it was for him.

Sandra was working so could not join us for our mini cruise. At home there are more presents waiting for the middle one.

Enjoying food and music. Here I was shooting from a low angle so I could put the sun behind Jonathan’s trumpet.

The middle one had carried out all the pillows and blankets to build her own little nest in the hammock.

On the last day we had a little bit of time for middle one’s new kite.
