Friars Crag, Derwentwater Theo lives in Rotterdam where he works as a mathematics teacher. He visited the Lake District for the first time in '81. In the 90's he visited more regularly, approximately once a year. At first only in summer, but in recent years he's discovered the beauty of the Lakes in autumn and winter - inspired by several photography books of the Lakes. Theo says "Personally I much prefer these seasons: light and colours are much more beautiful than in summer". |

Derwentwater & Castle Crag He now divides his U.K. trips between Scotland and the Lakes. Scotland, he admits, has even more 'grandeur', but, travelling without a car, the Lakes have the great advantage that most parts are easily accessible by bus. One of Theo's trips coincided with the outbreak of F&M disease 2 years ago and made all fell-walking impossible, despite this he still had a very nice holiday because of the good weather and snow; "we were, so it seemed, the only tourists in the Lakes district, which added to the tranquil atmosphere". |

Stable Hills near Keswick His most recent trip was in early January 2003. "I had some splendid days, particularly the day on Skiddaw was great". Theo uses a Minolta Dynax 7xi, preferring slides, because he feels they much better preserve the sense of scale. |
