An early Saturday at the skate park in the North-Holland village of Uitgeest, where to my delight, the two youths using the bumps and jumps of the park were girls, not the usual gangs of teenage boys one’s come to expect :-).

Urban Canals.135

Though this may look idyllically countryside-esque, I think we’re within the city limits of Amsterdam on the bike path along the Amstel; note the high-rise office buildings of (I believe) Bijlmer in the background behind the more-picturesque windmill.

From The Air.5

And now a bit of a sunset view of the coastal lakes & ponds of Abidjan as the same airplane lined up for a landing at Félix Houphouët Boigny International Airport, about an hour’s flight due west of that last airport-landing set I showed you from Cotonou.

Coasting.55

Some of Benin’s coastline, seen on the far side of what my map tells me is most likely Lake Nokoue, as our plane lined up for a mostly-cloudy dusk landing at Cotonou Cadjahoun International airport for a stopover during my flight from Brussels to Abidjan in late April.

Last use of the photos from this year’s lovely display of bluebells at my lovely local canal-side park. ‘Til next season, dear flowers.
