Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm Dick Bos, from the Netherlands. I'm a retired teacher of economics.

Before 2009 I used to work here under a different name, together with Wilma as WJV&DB.

The very first image we uploaded to Commons in 2005 was a picture by Wilma of a little elephant girl in Amersfoort Zoo, Indra.

I believe this was the first picture I uploaded on my own account (2007, with the camera of Wilma?).

The rock garden in the Botanic Garden of Utrecht University.
