Ok so it’s actually the world’s oldest artificial rowing course in the word, but it is connected to the water various other canals that you’ve seen before. In fact, you’ve seen the Bosbaan (forest course) itself in another post under more dramatic lighting conditions. This was taken last weekend during this year’s edition of the grand old Holland Beker rowing competition Quite fun to watch all the teams race past, though this was taken during a quieter moment between heats.
These doors and their details are all from inside one of the palaces to which our ticket gave us entry. It’s the same on that houses the window of the defenestration. 🙂
Above: George Town & mainland Penang State as seen from top of the hill. Below: two views of the hill as seen from the 20th floor of one of those buildings near the water, above….
Last shots from my work-from-London week in mid-May: The Shard as seen from near the Tate Modern, and a lovely old school building near where I stayed.
Yep, I still live in the Netherland which has greatly abundant gardens & parks, both urban and rural 🙂 … which, in case you’re wondering, is why these trees aren’t yet fully in leaf: this photo was taken more than two months ago but I’ve only caught up with it now 🙂
(so much world, so little time....)
