Zandvoort. On the right Badhuisplein square, with apartments that will be demolished soon, to make space for new building.
A spur of the moment decision to take a day off from work, get on the train and spend the day at a beach resort. A bit of an odd choice I admit. I like the beach and have a weak spot for sea side architecture, but only in winter, in a quiet, off season atmosphere. Nothing of the sort, as expected, on a sunny day in March, in the midst of spring vacation. It was nice even so, taking a long walk along the boulevard, reading the papers while having tea and a sandwich at a beach pavilion, a bit of sun on my face.
I doubt if I will ever feel comfortable photographing on summer days, it’s not just a technicial thing of course. Or not at all, really. The discomfort with summer and bright weather goes way back and stems from long before I ever held a camera.
