Urban Canals.204

I have an embarrassment of riches in terms of Amsterdam canal photos waiting to be shared, including above and several below from a lovely canal cruise Sam & I decided to do between the matinee and evening concerts on the last day of the Mahler Festival back in May, and a few taken during Barbara’s visit just before Sam arrived…then a few more from just my usual wanders by foot or bike around this lovely city where the days are becoming painfully, noticeably, shorter as we’re now within three weeks of the next equinox 😦

Many lovely small things seen during my walks on Penang Hill the last weekend in July, and in KL Botanical Gardens the first weekend in August.

City Views.264

With apologies, I’m throwing another big post at you – all the remaining shots from a short visit I managed to squeeze in to Chiang Mai during a short workshop-related visit to Bangkok back in March. It was such a pleasure to finally see some of the historical temples and other parts of this city I’d often heard of but never been to :-). This partially destroyed older temple shown a few times below was the original location of the Emerald Buddha, prior to his relocation to Bangkok around the time of the earthquake that partially destroyed this temple – if I recall correctly….

Bridges.34

You’ve seen windows from the inside of that hunting “lodge” (term used in the sign about the bridge, below) yesterday, and will see more of it from outside in future posts :-).

Windows.24

The Kröller-Müller Museum stemmed from the collection of an early 20th century art collector (and manufacturing heiress) and her husband, who built themselves a lovey house on a lake north of where the current museum sits. Above is a main set of windows from their house, and below are some shots from the museum itself with various sculptures and windows plus another window from the house and shots from the house tour looking out. I’m back at work but for now still sticking with shots from the recent action-packed vacation even as work reabsorbs any extra energy I have :-).

Signs of the City.124

I took this photo less than 24 hours ago at the lookout point called The Posbank, at the dizzying height of 90 meters above sea level in the Veluwe Zoom, oldest of NL’s national parks. I’d biked through the park from north to south Friday, en route to Velp where I spent Friday and Saturday nights. Quite amazing, really, that the fairly large city of Arnhem (capital of Gelderland in which I spent all my vacation) is only 10 kilometers away from this gorgeous spot which felt really rather remote, though yesterday morning quite full of walkers, bikers, and those who’d driven their cars up to enjoy the views and the well-positioned restaurant behind this photo.

Passed this lovely view en route both from Otterlo to Bussloo (Wednesday) and then yesterday from Bussloo down to Velp, final overnight location of this little jaunt.
