Well I think so :D I'm Ron from The Netherlands , notice Holland is not The Neherlands 8-) The country Holland doesn't exist even we've North and South - Holland these are provinces of The Netherlands . Nieuw-Holland is the old name of Austalia .

Amsterdam is our capital City , Nieuw (New)-Amsterdam was the name from a settlement in the 17th century in the province Nieuw (New)-Nederland now known as New York in the US.

I live in Apeldoorn about 50 miles east from Amsterdam , we've about 160.000 inhabitants in Apeldoorn. I'm 59 years atm and love thunderstorms :mrgreen: the photo below was taken in Belgium btw

Hi Nitrx

Wicked photograph, did you take it yourself? By the way there is a Photos section where you can post more pictures like this.

So, did you leave the shutter open to catch the lightning? Or were you filming and grabbed a still frame?

Well if we wound back the clock you'd have had a job shooting 600 35mm film frames :D So the digital camera has proved it's worth.

Dag Ron,

Welkom op dit forum. Je bent niet de eerste Nederlander hier hoor! Alleen ben ik van Amsterdam via een paar andere steden in Nederland naar Paramaribo verhuisd.

Groetjes,
Luc

Hello Ron,

Welcome to this forum. You are not the first Dutchman here! I moved from Amsterdam to Paramaribo via some other cities in the Netherlands.

Greetings,
Luc
