Yes, these are both a bit of a stretch, so we’ll rest this series ’til I’m around more legit art in nature again. Above left, nature outside at the far end of one of the galleries from the Kröller-Müller in Hoge Veluwe, and right an artistic spider web and spider in a window at the fort in Pannerden. The sign says “warning, might bite,” but of course it’s an arts & crafts project very possibly made by a kid – it’s a very kid-friendly fort with lots of activities going on.
While in California I had several occasions to see the ol’ source in its vapor form, also known as mist, including the above as taken on a lovely walk w/Gary on the last day of his and Rick’s visit, and below that same morning.
Then I got home to Amsterdam two weekends ago and found more snow and ice than usual here, yet still those early daffodils poking up through the remaining snow and ice…QED on the whole ‘source o’ life’ idea, eh? And do, please, note the shopping cart stuck in the ice by my nearest train station, literally on my first walk home after landing early on the 11th…we all know lots of trash and bikes and even cars end up in the canals each year, but rarely do we get to see them suspended in the ice like this!
With this one image showing the source of life visible in its fully liquid, snow and ice forms (plus a wee bit of vapor up in the sky), I figured I can restart this series & see how we go.
Two last 2025 A’dam sunrises, in November (left) and June (right). And once the sun moves farther north again, you’ll be able to start seeing how far along that construction across the street has come.
(so much world, so little time....)
