Urban Garden.257

Amsterdam’s “Hortus” botanical garden underwent a major renovation over the past couple years, with the greenhouse you see above as one of the lovely outcomes. A few days after I took the above photo (just a shot snapped on my bike ride home), we had the chance during an ‘away day’ workshop inside one of the Hortus buildings to do a lovely guided tour, from which came the circle gallery (if you’re in full-view) of photos below. Having been founded only in 1638, A’dam’s Hortus isn’t even the oldest botanical garden in NL (Leiden’s is), although it probably does rank amongst the 20 oldest in the world.

City Views.287

I’m about to spend another short weekend with Howard (and maybe Gene), so I figured I should post these last photos from our early-July Düsseldorf & Bonn outing – which I initially thought I might use for “Art / Nature” – before my next chance to photograph Howard imitating art :-).

County Views.187

Look closely at the photo above and it’ll tell you what county we’re in :-). And yes, it’s the original, where I happened to have some meetings last week, first time I’d managed to get back there since, quite literally, 2000…

Coasting.157

The Coxs Bazaar beach in Bangladesh proudly claims to be the world’s longest sandy beach. So, back on the first day of 2019, I launched the first numbered series with “The Longest Beach” as a way to encourage myself up and out the door on weekend mornings to enjoy it.
As we know, I’ve since added many themed series to help get myself out the door and focused on what I see around me in three dimensions, wherever I happen to find myself in our beautiful, unruly world. So I rarely use Cox beach photos for other series, but I rather love how this set shows so many of the ways people enjoy the beach, especially on weekends: you’ll see folks playing cricket and soccer (football), herders with their cows, a youth riding a pony (tourist pony rides are also a thing), and also of course folks just walking, talking, wading and enjoying the sense of freedom these wide vistas offer.
