Almost full moon

Was just closing the outside door at 0:05 a.m. when I saw the bright light of the moon and went back inside to grab a camera. Its 1/2 a second out of hand so not really sharp . (Camera Sony Nex 7 from 2012 just grabbed to see if it still works after a year of inactivity) but I like the result.

This mural must have been on display above the market in Almere for about 20 years, but it was a real coincidence that I saw it. One for Sami's Colourful World here.

Forest walk

 

We walked quietly along this path this week

when I saw something moving along the edge

We had never seen this colorful exote before. Soon searched at home. Turned out to be a Lady Amherst pheasant. Must have escaped somewhere because they certainly don't live here in the wild.

Painters light

Now that we're even more at home than usual, we take a walk through the area every day.

And then you can see where all those painters got their inspiration from. It's a bit of a walk between the showers. This post is for Our World Tuesday here.

Lockdown

Since yesterday evening 10 pm all cafes, restaurants, theaters and cinemas are closed for at least 4 weeks and if you don't have to go somewhere for an urgent reason travel is also not recommended. The problem is that the hospitals simply cannot handle the influx of covid patients.Don't get bored with all the other measures, but pictures like the terrace of cafe De Jaren are not possible anymore.

Directions

Sometimes I wonder if we don't exaggerate a bit. One for Signs2 here.

 

Weather or no weather.

Despite covid, we must keep moving. Especially if you are 70+ . One for Our World Tuesday here.
