CAPITAL

As I said before: ‘I love Amsterdam’. Nowadays you cannot travel to that marvelous city because of Covid-19. That’s a pity but understandable.

Anyway my love for that city is not affected. It is a matter of adjusting. Like I did before.

Walking around a found a canal with the reflection of the old and nice canal houses.

ENJOY!

INSPIRATION

During my visit at museum ‘De Lakenhal’ in Leiden, a city in The Netherlands, I saw some work of Jan Wolkers.

Some work in glass, some paintings and some poetry. He inspired me enormously and from that day on my life went different. More decisions had to be made.

I bought a book about his work called: “Marszwart & Titianwit”. Its about painting with black and white, but for me its about inspiration.

I made a picture of one of his works with a view on Leiden. The city and museum he visited as a child.

ENJOY!

DAY 100 – 100 DAY JOURNAL – POPPY

DAY 100

First I like to thank everybody looking at my attempts day by day. It’s was my pleasure and I enjoyed it. Spring is a beautiful time to be outside. Thanks too to the people following me through Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Today I made my own Flower Day. I met several ones, being alone or together. I like the game these ladies play with the shadows around them. And especially the vulnerability and tenderness of the little ladies touches me every year. So I am a happy shooter and I really hope to meet you again on my blog.

This morning nature pampered me with a nice sunrise at 05.31.10 am. Surprised – I usual wake up a little bit later – I made some shots through my window.

As you understand my windows are clear indeed.

DAY 097 – 100 DAY JOURNAL – TOURIST INFO

TOURIST INFO

Today I spent most of my time in Amsterdam. It was quite relaxing. I visited the North region of Amsterdam, known as the former NDSM shipyard. The Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM) (Netherlands Dock and Shipbuilding Company), was a shipbuilding and repair company based in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, existing from 1946 to 1979. Over there you can take the free ferry to the Amsterdam Central Railwaystation. Lots of hotels in the neighborhood too. Maybe you are looking for it.

Walking around I met some interesting wellknown stuff at the harbourside with its new buildings.

ENJOY LIFE

especially when you visit Amsterdam

DAY 095 – 100 DAY JOURNAL – BEACH

BEACH

No matter where on te beach I am, I still love it. It’s about the sound of the waves. You walk alongside the beach or you sleep alongside the beach. No matter. The sound supplies a never ending rhythm; a true story to human beings. As long as I know kids are playing at the beach. Fathers building huge sand castles. Everybody, young and elder, loves the beach.

DAY 094 – 100 DAY JOURNAL – THE LAUGHING THINKER

THE LAUGHING THINKER

Today I met my grandson. Always ready for a joke – as long as I know him. And especially today he insist on being part of my 100 day journal. So I suggest him to act like The Thinker by Rodin. Once installed he could not stop laughing. So we decided to make him the laughing thinker. I think it’s a good result of our cooperation during this hot day.

ENJOY LIFE

DAY 093 -100 DAY JOURNAL – TIME FLIES

TIME FLIES

There’s a huge difference between clock time and the so called inner time. Today I spent a lot of time in the city of Utrecht in Holland. Buildings all around me in the center. Noise of traffic everywhere – even in the air -, lots of queues and  congestion. The parking garage being on the 14th floor. How to care about my inner time? I decided to take my interval in a coffee house nearby with my companion: a latte macchiato. An ever lasting couple with nobody there and lots of inner time.

ENJOY LIFE
