Coble stones

Such a familiar site, coble stone roads instead of asfalt. I realized lately that this isn't the case for many people in the world. I guess it is a European thing to keep roads paved with coble stones. Accept for highways of course.

Know what you see

The add says 'to know what you see'. I know that I see Mona Lisa, but Mona Lisa doesn't know that she is seeing me. I say the quote makes Mona Lisa not so intelligent.

Red

A look in the kitchen of  a restaurant, it was impecable and very red..

Church windows

Church windows of the Saint Nicholas of IJsselstein.

Mill of IJsselstein

Great shot of the windmill of IJsselstein. It looks like a winter scene, but it is really the twilight setting in.

50's ?

Ladies cloth shop, the fashion looks very 50's lately..

Cat in stone

A cat in one of the gravestones of a church where I recently have been. I don't know which one anymore. It must have some kind of meaning.

Sandra

Sandra van der Meer will perform soon. I have no idea who she is and what she does, but I like the advert.

Tower of St. Nicholas

The tower of the Reformed church of Nijmegen again, it has a different top. The base is from 1530. The top from the last century. Due to a lightning struck they had to redo the top of the tower. The effect is a real interesting composition.

Painting

I was impressed when I saw this painting, it is really mystic and dreamy..

Lunch

Happy lunchtime..

Mystic

In the corner of my eye this grabed my attention:

• Is it the new against the old? 
• The horizontal with the vertical? 
• A prayer shot to heaven? 
• The first migration shuttle leaving earth to a new planet to inhabet somewhere in the universe? 
• Wite agains earth colors... 

Zebra

The Nachtwacht

So Dutch, The Nachtwacht, but wait is it?

Page

A historic page from a historic book from long ago, at the Catherine Museum of Utrecht.
Last month there was an exposition on the Camino to Santiago de Compostela.

Irritation

In the centre of Woerden a new set of houses have been build. Not that bad actually but I am irritated with the poor skills of the architect, in case of  the 'decoration' above the doors. Could he not think of anything more exciting that the number 2B and 2A above the doors?

Tower

Impressive tower of the Reformed church of IJsselstein.

Saint Peter

A friend of mine has a big statue of Saint Peter in his house of extrordinary quality. 

I have to share it :) 

Hidden house in Woerden centre

There are a few 'great' historic mantions in Woerden. Build around 1860 somewhere. All but one are visible for the public eye. This one is in the middle of centre hidden behind large trees and greenery. Only in winter you can have a glimpse of the house. A pitty because it would brighten up the centre if it was visible. The owners are very private people..

Le Vespa

The Vespa is really a great gift from Italy, not that I would want to haven one though. Maybe a nice gift idea for my nice. 

House for Sale

Great mansion for sale in Woerden. It is not so old, for Dutch standards a lot of space and garden... so if you are looking for a nice spot to hang out...

Too much for me

Maybe any childs dream, but for me this stuff is too sweet! 

All about the beer

I took this shot while these two guys were filmed for some kind of event news. They were talking about the quality of their beers. 

Arty

Art simply is Art, or is Art that what we call Art...

At the movies

I made this shot in the cinema. Anybody an idea which movie it was?

Fan shop

A fan shop, I wonder if they make a reasonable profit...

Spring

Spring is in the air...

Three angels

Three angels and six wings... :)
