The Cyclist. This picture was taken during the Dutch Championships in a little village called Echteld (nearby Tiel). One by one starting for a race against the clock. Walking on the new-made dykes, in february '95 there was almost a disaster in this area, I decided not to take an action-photo. Looking for a 'dreaming-photo' I took the grass and wild flowers almost as the main subject. By using a 300mm tele- photo lens the cyclist in the background is making the photo to a perfect combination of sport and art.
