Ah, Royalty.85

Sam and I both agreed that this grand entrance to Casteel Middachten (Middachten Castle) looks rather royal indeed. As part of our Veluwe-Zoom and Central-Gelderland exploration, we spent a lovely few hours exploring its glorious gardens, without going inside the building itself.

Lake Living.95

…and then, of course, there were the 10 days Steve and I spent on and around the shores of Lake Ohrid, from which a couple photos or more might still be shared…

Lake Living.94

Since I do live just next to a lovely large lake, I tend to amass photos of it. Using most of those from this year in this post 🙂

Windows.44

This is your orientation photo. All shots in the gallery (in full view – otherwise series of top to bottom photos without design) below are from inside Arnhem’s Eusebius Church, especially within its spire which was destroyed in late 1944 and early 1945. Look closely about the midpoint of the thinner part of the spire above, and you will see a glass box extruding from the tower. There’s another on the opposite side, which you can’t see here – and all the photos below show those as seen from inside looking out.

Sam and I spent a few days last week exploring the Veluwe Zoom & surroundings, and I finally got him over to see this church and several other historically-significant and lovely parts of Arnhem, many of which I’ve shown you in past posts from 2022 visit. We both agree Arnhem’s a great city.

Sky Lights.34

The darker photos are both from February 2nd this year – so slightly more than six months ago. The sunrise photo below is from just now – took it out my living room window to show not only the lovely morning-cloud sky lights, but how big all those new buildings have grown this year! My last Urban Canals showed you the Pontsteiger Hotel as seen along one of our canals; above, if you enlarge and look to the right of the big crane, you’ll see it as I used to see it out my windows here 😦

Photos of the lovely rolling and mountainous paths around the village of Trpejca, where Steve and I spent such a lovely 10 days already three months ago, yikes how times flies…

Urban Canals.224

Above, the Pontsteiger building (which is a hotel, btw) as seen from one of our canals – now that I can no longer look out my window to see it, I figured I’d show it from other perspectives. Below, a few photos showing the ongoing work to stabilize and strengthen some of the older canals in the heart of the city.
