Tulips

Tulips in da house....

Desklight

The classic desklight for boys :) spotted at IKEA!

Theatre in Woerden

Plenty to do in Woerden... :)

Cheese warehouse

One of old the empty cheese stores of Woerden. There are a lot of them in town. Woerden is part of the Gouda cheese zone. Now adays there are stored in huge storages. I would love to buy it and turn it into a home. But I don't have the money nor the skills. So it is just a pleasant day dream...

Science is the new Religion

Interesting artwork at the museum Meermanno displaying the achievements of the Gods of Science.

Coffee

I had a great coffee this weekend, I figure that coffee always looks good on a picture.. :)

Trees in the centre

During a late night walk in the centre of Woerden I was struck by the trees. They look strong, dark, scary and evil. But that was just my perception of the moment. In summer they look much different :)

Cat

Someone's cat gazing out of the window. I love cats, I like their independency and arrogance, yet, they still need you if they like :)

Exhibition 'Scary Things'

An exhibition on the ‘affected body’, I haven’t been to the exhibit but it might be interesting. The exhibit shows pictures of the affected body by deceases and it’s social effect on the person by pictures of the nineteenth and twentieth century. Hand colored pictures of hands with skin deceases from 1868, the horrors of the first WW. The affection, the vulnerable fascinates..

This weekend is the last weekend so I might just hop on the train and have a look this Saturday.

Icy fountain

The fountain in the monastery garden of the Dom church in Utrecht...

Frost

This is the frost on my car window this morning when I went to work. It's freezing cold these days, sometimes - 10 degrees. The shapes of the frost is one of these small wonders of nature which captured my attention, amazingly beautiful shapes…

Buddha in the snow

The Buddha of the local interior decoration shop in the snow. I think it's a rare site. Buddha reminds me of sun overloaded countries.

Ice cold

This morning it was ice cold, -14 degrees when I got into the car. I was struck by the splendor of the mill as it was lit warmly by the sun in such a cold surrounding.

Ice skating

It's time for ice skating. This shot is of the first skaters at the Singel in Woerden.
It is a quick shot while I was making my way to my car. Hope to have some better ones soon.

Saint Catherine

Winter and medieval shot.. Wat you see are the buildings of the formar Catherine monastery which has been closed somewhere around 1580. Amazing that the medieval atmosphere has survived the past 500 years!

Shot of the teahouse

And there it came.. fresh, white, crispy snow!

Fascinating

I noticed this interesting gate a few days ago. It looks like a new gate, well kept, but.... in front of the entrance is a big old tree, it would even not be possible to open the gate.. Fascinating, I wonder what the story is of this gate. The tree must be a 150 years old so the gate must have been deliberately situated in front of the tree...

Freezing

Ah Thursday morning and it is freezing! I am working from home so I don't need to go and join the traffic jams. Soon we will be able to ice skate at the canal, that will create some awesome pictures :)
