Cycling at summer temperatures can be quite exhausting

This is less of a problem for the boat enthusiasts. One for Our World Tuesday here.

Sexyland 2

 

The side of the building I showed last wednesday. One for Sami's Colorful World here.

We could use this today.

New appearance

After months of absence, I notice that some buildings have been given a totally different appearance. One for Weekend Relections here .

On the ferry wednesday

Your blogger left and two fellow passengers in the new normal in Amsterdam.

At last

New hipshots again

But the facination of youth for tattoos eludes me a bit although it produces beautiful pictures.

After 3 months back in Amsterdam

The signs looks clear enough. Sexyland is a conceptual club with every day an other owner.

One for signs2 here.

Seen in Almere

Behind this sign (called dyeing plants field) there are plants that provide colours for dyeing fabrics.

Luckily there are also signs that indicate the colour of each plant. (not here)

In front of it there is a row of poles with the colours that the plants behind them produce but the wool sheaths at the top have lost their colour since the 2 years they've been in wind and weather. One for Our World Tuesday here.

Mosaic facade

Came across this little building yesterday in Almere city. A kind of temporary shelter for the scouting left and the Sufi movement right. What's in the middle, no idea. This mural is for Sami's Colourful World here.

Sometimes you just don't know

Just a hipshot from the day before yesterday in Almere.

Architecture experiment in Almere 2

Here housing in the movie area about 7 km from the post of yesterday.

These houses were commissioned by a housing association and contained both owner-occupied and rented houses.

Architecture experiments in Almere

There is a lot experimented with architecture as here in the rainbow area of almere. Every part has its own color and the architects has also studied the former "siedlungen" of germany from the twenties like "Onkel Toms Hutte " and Bruno Taut's "Huffeisen siedlung". Must say that the area has indeed that atmosphere. On the background some dutch mountains. One for Skywatch Friday here.

A welcoming front yard

I would love to come home here. How about you?

Pick your sign

One for signs 2 here.

It's a buzzard year

It's striking how many are flying around above Almere. Read somewhere that it had to do with the large numbers of mice currently present. One for Our World Tuesday here.

Speaking of colourful

The decoration of the market hall in Rotterdam. One for Sami's Colourful World here.

Hipshot Vondelpark 2014

It's time for this kind of pictures again, but it's not there yet.

It's still fun

I've posted photos of the tax office in Almere before but since Amsterdam still seems to stay out of the picture for new photos I have to make do with it. One for Weekend Reflections here.

Grab the light.

The sky in Almere City after rain. One for Skywatch Friday here.

Bike city Amsterdam

Difficult to use that bike.
