Appointment in Amsterdam and some time left . . .

An important appointment, in Amsterdam. Luckily some time left, visit the Rijksmuseum just for  the pictures of Ed van der Elsken bought and given by Jan de Bont. Of course seen the Rembrandts, Rubens and luckily a Cees van Dongen, one of my favourite painters and Ed van der Elsken is one of my favourite photographers. So, what a lucky day . . . .
On my way to the museum I took my camera out my bag
and this is what I saw . . . .


 although he thought and thought, he lost the game.

 Taken at the Albert Cuyp Market

 It was very crowdy.

 Those houses, the sign Keukenhof, for me that's typical Dutch.
 Frida Kahlo, a great painter
 The, very famous, Nachtwacht painted by Rembrandt
 The most strange Dutch music instruments I have ever seen
 Chess game seems to be very popular in Amsterdam.
 A very popular place in Amsterdam

 Enjoying the beauty of nature.
 The Dam, also very famous.

 The painting is made by Cees van Dongen, a genius in my opinion.

A lucky live is not for everyone.

The Carnaval is over

The carnival is over. . . And because we like it and are still in the Low Country, we celebrate it, so on to Maastricht. And how busy it was, much busier than expected because the weather was not good.  But Carnival in the rain remains, maybe a little wetter than planned Carnival. Stay healthy and optimistic, even when the Carnaval is over . . .

After the renovation

Image
  yes, we did our best, but now they are on the roof, our solar panels.  The bathroom has also been renovated in between, so it was time to get out for a while.  Not too far, just a walk in nature and then also shoot a heron. Not really, of course, so no gun was involved, but with a camera.  Oh yes, and we will also go to a sunny country this year when it winters here, but more about that later. Stay healthy and optimistic, you will feel a lot better doing so . . .

Gifts, gifts.

Image
  Apparently we are now in a period where we give a lot of presents. The period in which we received a lot of presents seems to be behind us.  Not that it's a bad thing, rather the opposite. So it turns out to be true, for us at least, that giving is better than taking.  The presents are for the little ones, the children. Wonderful to see how happy they can be, how intensely they enjoy unpacking and the surprise when the gift is unwrapped in front of them. The absolute highlight appears to be the permission to bring a present when it is time to go to sleep. Stay healthy and optimistic, the world can't do without it!
