Grateful!

My colleagues/mates have organised a fantastic good-bye for me today.
We had a fantastic day in the city of Delft! First we have sailed in a little boat on the town canals. After a great picnic lunch we met a real photographer!
He taught us very much in 3 hours walking about.
I've learned a lot about my camera, light, contrasts and many other things.
I took this rain-pipe from different views and this result was the most beautiful, a nice black-white contrast.

That's a bit symbolic for the day: Sunshine and Shadow!
It's sad I'll leave my dear colleagues. For 15 years I have worked with them through thick and thin.

At the end of the day we had a fantastic Italian diner with a lot of tears, smiles and joy.

Thank you very much:
S,P,M,J,M,B,J,R,M and M!!
