Two early-morning views from my new place (just moved, middle of the week past) – above, looking north from my bedroom and below looking west from my living room. We’ve shown you Sloterplas, the lake below, in this previous post as well as a few others. You’ll be seeing more of this, and much less of my last neighborhood park going forward 🙂
Last photo taken on the boat back from Borkum to Emden above, and first photo taken on the boat from Emden to Borkum below – both lookin at the wind farm on the NL side of the river. So many things one can do with coastlines, eh?
The past several entries all came from the island of Borkum itself (as we caught up with the sequence on this particular series). This shot shows the coast of Groningen province, on the west side of the Ems estuary, as our ferry approached the German down of Emden which is on the east side of the same estuary. Plenty ‘o such windmills all over the coastlines and off shore on both sides of this international border.
Staying with the theme of “confusing churches,” the star-design window on this one confuses both me and many other visitors with whom I’ve walked this way before. This entrance has been just a few doors down from my own building for nearly my entire two years here, but from August I’ll be living in another part of the city, so this my be its farewell appearance.
Long summer days, nice weather, and (long-) weekend travels recently have allowed me to see many more intriguing entrances, so we’ll devote the next eleven posts to exploring them in all their ranges and styles. Hope you’ll enjoy the journey.
(so much world, so little time....)
