Booklet Dickninge by Ubo Pakes
Now that I am 60, I am approaching life a little differently. With this milestone, and after losing most of my belongings from Holland in last year's floods, I've been reflecting more than usual. Thankfully, my love for walking and the outdoors remains strong, and so does my passion for photography.
In light of this, I've created a small e-booklet featuring photos and thoughts from ten years of early morning walks around my hometown in Holland.
I hope you enjoy it!
