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.
And another set of images from a single garden, behind a building which has an interesting history documented in the middle photo of the three-photo gallery just below. (Note: if you don’t see all these images on your small-screen, try again with larger screen or a different browser.)
All of these photos come from the same pair of private-home or private-office gardens that I visited on my “Open Garden Days” tour to which I introduced you in a series that began with this post.
Last of our current ten-post special series from Amsterdam’s Open Garden Days, so we’ll get back to our regularly-scheduled, numbered entries from multiple series now :-). Hope you’ve enjoyed all these glimpses of gardens in Amsterdam. There are still about twenty photos left in this folder, from five gardens which I haven’t yet even shown you. So plenty more to come. Perhaps yet another special sequence after I work through another cycle of the various other series. Hmmmmmm….
Same garden as the last two posts. I spent a lovely bit of time sitting on a shaded bench, watching others come and go, and considering angles from which to take all these photos I’ve been sharing with you. The house itself was fascinating and in undergoing some renovation. There was an interior doorway of which I also simply had to take a photo. We’ll see if I remember to tell you that it came from here, whenever its turn pops up in the Urban Entrances series 🙂
These are from the same garden as our last lovely solo-photo post. Mirror selfie in both images below, though perhaps impossible for you to see it in the right-hand one.
(so much world, so little time....)
