Red Heads

Woerden is a place with a lot of 'red heads', currently there is an exposition of various red heads who posed for a local photographer. I know some of the people on the pictures :)

Old Rhine

Aah summer has arrived, it has become lovely sunny weather.. I can stop complaining. This is a shot of the 'Old Rhine' a small branch of the Rhine, which flows from Utrecht to Woerden, Alphen, Leiden and into the North Sea at Katwijk. 

Flea market

Last weekend there was a flea market. I encountered a clock which I might have bought. 

The one on the left (plain looking). However a goal for the rest of my life is not to react on impulse anymore. 

So I didn't bought it, but went to marktplaats.nl and bought the same but for one fourth of the prize :)  

Fish shop

Recently Woerden has gotten a fish shop in the center. Fish used to be the dish for poor people but now fish is a costly delicacy. I see 6 people working in this shop, which means they must make a good profit.

Arie Blok

This weekend I did a small research. This building is part of the skyline of Woerden. It's a factory, I never looked up what they actually do. It's a factory for animal food based on grains. Different types of animals, cows, sheep, cats and dogs..

The quadrangle logo contains an A from Arie and B from Blok. Blok is in English a block/ quadrangle .

I like this building, Arie Blok could have chosen to build an ugly factory tower instead he added some design to it.. : )

Summer rainbow

When I looked outside this morning to complain about another summer day with rain, clouds and darkness. I spotted the rainbow! 

Private balcony

I noticed a balcony I have hardly seen before, though I pass it by every day. It is on the first floor but hidden by a tree. This is somebody's public private space. 

Sunshine

When the sun shines everything looks better, also my street! 

Sunny...

It's getting sunny after all!

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?

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..

Harbor Street

I pass by this street where I live..

The Sun!

I have to do it, this picture is nothing particular, but one thing, the sun is back!
Hurray, it is as if spring is starting, it has been dark and grey for so long that the coming of the sun is reason for wistheling :)

Theatre in Woerden

Plenty to do in Woerden... :)

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 :)

Shot of the teahouse

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

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 :)

Attic

A shot from my attic, I don't think the colors are due to the sun storm..
