The last two things that kept me busy last winter in Holland were Instagram and Paper53.
A bit over half a year ago, I became active as Curly Traveller on Instagram.
Although the original thought of Instagram is to post pics, taken with your smartphone, I post pictures, taken with my photo camera. Main reason for that is, that until recently I had the oldest type iPhone which took terrible pictures.
Now that I have a new iPhone5 I may change my strategy and post more pics taken with my phone;-).
Anyhow, I post one picture a day, often coming from my archive with travel pictures. I crop them to the Instagram square format and I usually also do some editing. Using apps like Snapseed and PS Express.
Here are some pics that I posted, just to give you an impression. It is fun to do, the community is nice and I met some cool people through Instagram!
Like Vera and her chihuahua Bertje, see my post: Holland: making new friends.
