Three Swims to the Sea
My recommended activity if you have one day in Amsterdam
A day out from Amstel station to the North Sea, cooling off along the way in a city lake, a recreation pool and finally the surf at Bloemendaal and Zandvoort, with lunch in Haarlem’s old town.
Bolzano to Venice
Eight days by bike, about 330 km, September 2026
From the Alps to the lagoon: down the Adige valley from Bolzano to Trento, along Lake Garda, through Verona and on to Venice.
Nature photography
When I am not working I am usually outside, trail running or hiking, and stopping every few minutes to photograph whatever is flowering, flying or crawling. My observations go to iNaturalist, where other naturalists confirm the identifications and the records feed biodiversity research. These are the ones the community has confirmed.
