Lake Living.73

And yes, however lovely the gardens, water lilies and architecture are wherever work or pleasure travel have recently taken me, I breathe a sigh of relief when I get home to my lovely lake views and my own bed & kitchen again :-). I’d been saving this May morning moon-set shot for either sky lights, or city lights, but I like how it pairs with the shot above.

All from a weekend morning’s walk in Bangkok, where I spent a few days before heading down to Malaysia.

Urban Garden.232

Turns out I skipped Urban Garden on the last cycle: such things happen when I try to keep up with daily posts while traveling. Or maybe I knew that once I got home I’d have lovely shots like this, from Kuala Lumpur’s remarkable Botanic Garden, which I visited Saturday morning before flying home that night. These are all taken from or of the lovely and fun “Bamboo Playhouse” – which is not a theater but a house for kids (of all ages, if you count me) to play in – as you see from the sign below :-).

Approaching Vlieland for the first time, back in May. Fond memories, already :-).

Signs of the City.123

July 5, 2025 in Minden, Germany. A train re-routing due to track problems allowed me half an hour to walk around this mid-sized city en route between Berlin and Amsterdam, thus having the chance to appreciate how many more cultural and free-time activities might be available in such a city than when, say, I myself first spent time in Germany back in 1980. A further joy that day: my arrival in Amsterdam was still on time; nay, one minute early.

Signs of the City.122

Two last “city” signs from the arctic circle winter in Norway to cool the thoughts of us in hot climates currently 🙂

Skylights.12

This was May 21st as the rising sun headed further north. I missed its pass through this building last week on its way back south :-(, because I’ve been out of town for a bit.

Village Views.112

This is whatever village we docked at for 15 minutes at 2am on the morning of the 25th of January, somewhere between Tromsø and Honningsvåg.
