On a row

Four ketles on a row for an impovised game of curling. We had a lot of fun!

Waiters waiting

Waiters waiting for customers. I gave them some work to do; fetching a coffee :)

At church

A shot of church during a Christmas concert at the Jacobi church.

Merry X-mas!

Mill looks good

It's the day before Christmas and I should be posting a Christmas tree. But the mill looks good this morning. Another thing is that I don't see so many Xmas deco, I guess everybody takes it light this year.

Christmas Tree 3

This tree I spotted at the Bijenkorf shopping mall. It's a rainbow tree with animal decoration.

Christmas tree 2

Pink upside down tree with white deco at Utrecht central station.

Christmas tree 1

Number 1 in a serie of christmas trees. This is the tree in front of the central station of Amsterdam.

House of colors

An apropriate name for this establishment.

Warm and cosy

Outside it's cold, wet and dark, but inside it's.....

Food art-ish

Yesterday I just happen to pass a studio where there was some kind of arty exposition on food. This is a shot of a girl crowling on the floor munching rice papers. First she stayed on her square meter, but later on she was crawling over the floor of the whole studio. It felt arty, as I was chatting away, at each glans away from the conversation she was crowling somewhere else.

Autumn tree

Chair for a hobgoblin

I spotted a perfect toadstool, not a hobgoblin, they tend not to show themselves to people who don't believe in them...

Lamp at All you can eat Suchi

The lamp at the All you can eat suchi restaurant in Utrecht. The first time I ever enjoyed suchi and I did enjoy it!

Painting of train

I spotted this painting at a bookstore. I am looking for something new on the wall but find it hard to make a decission.

O' clock

And the time is...

Just for the fun of it

After visiting a customer I drove back via a small road in the country. While driving I noticed a funny looking building. I stopped to take a closer look. It could be a teahouse or a casket for a saint image or so. It appeared to be too small for a tea house and to be honest a casket for a saint satue is very unlikely. There was nothing inside and probably never have been, judging by the cleanness of it. So I figured the owner just made it for the fun of it.

Window with boat

Somebody showing his hobby to for everybody to enjoy.

Winter will come soon

This afternoon I took a walk with some friends on the grounds of a former estate. It was a big park with fields and a lot of forest. As you can see on the picture it will not take long before the winter is coming..

La Madonna Santisima

This wasn't at the cartoon section, but the art section. A man was selling all kinds of beautiful religious art. Of which one a statue of the Madonna. Very good quality. Only for 80 Euro's. It has always been at a church in France, that's why it was in perfect state and fine work. But I resisted the temptation again. It doesn't really fit in my house...

Kermit

Not such a good photo but this was a real temptation! Kermit the Frog... I passed by a few time, if the saleswoman had addressed me I would have bought it, but I resisted... :(

Toys for the boys

Real nostalgia, I used to have them too, which seems so long ago!


Cars, cars, cars.. These are within my budget thought..

Star Wars Lego

I didn't knew; Lego has a Star Wars series! They were all there, Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Obi Wan Kenobi, Vadar, R2D2 and as you seen yesterday Yoda!

I say Yoda!

Collectors fair

I have been with a friend to the collectors fair in Utrecht. I was amazed of what things are collected. The coming days an impression of the stuff I thought interesting enhough to photograph. My interest does is cartoons so plenty of pics of those.


An unbelievable amount of stuff which can be collected...


The Beatles merchandising!

From a narrow angle

Shot of the Utrecht dome, taken from a narrow street on it's side. Shot a few weeks ago though because the tree is still with all it's leaves..

Early in the morning

The mill early in the morning..

Beetle

Cool Beetle on the road, that is a sight you don't see that often anymore. I actually saw two that day.

Painting

I saw this painting in a art shop last week. I like the painting. A very simple painting technique, but a great result. The woman has a real expression.

Wooden shoe sale

Pick your wooden shoe of your liking :)

Electricity box

I thought this is soo cool, a box for electicity gets a new look.

Water

Water, water, water, shot taken from the pond between Schoonhoven and the other side. I don't know why but they never build a bridge...

Evening Fair

Last week there was an evening fair in town.. I was surprized that I could make a such a good picture with my iPhone. For the rest it was not interesting to stay, it would have been fun if I was 16 years of age. That was the age of the average visitor.

Couple in the park

The couple was so much in love, I had to make a shot..

Trendy Bar

Shot of a trendy bar in Amsterdam. I felt honored just to be there... ;)

Petrus church

Just a shot of the tower of the Petrus church in the centre of Woerden. We have a lot of sun this autumn.

The yearly cow market

The yearly, so called cow market, has been last wednesday. The centre of town is then one big market. Lot's of food.. Here some shots to have an impression of the market stands.


The first stand is one with sausages. It's the time of the year for the sausage we eat traditionally in the winter seizon, called rookworst or smoked sausage. This stand owner has traditional made sausages.


Lot's of fish too, but that is not really my pick..


Cheese is traditionally round, but that doesn't needs to be like that.


Even more sausages, homemade...



And finaly, strawberries, actually too red for my iPhone camera..

Italian film evening

Shot made in the cinema, they are organising an Italian movie evening. I need to send this information through to a friend who is made about anything coming from Italy.

Apples and Pears

It's the time of the year that we have fresh apples and pears again. This year has been a good year for these fruits, they are very juicy and tasty. The summer we had was perfect for them and there are many! On the country side you see the trees full with big tempting apples. But eating apples is a virtue I guess.


Note that the farm building is dating from late middle ages. You can see this from the type of stones.



Not ready yet..

Love...

I can live with that... :)

At the Mac D

Secret shot of a couple having a burger at Mc Donalds.
