Snow and Berries in Den Haag

Here is a nice shot from the light snow we got the other day. I know it felt light spring almost earlier in the week, but by the end it was clear winter was back. This was on my way to church on Sunday. I got off tram 6 at the carel rienerskade (spelling??) stop and then walk the 500 meters to church. The whole way to church was like a little winter wonder land. All the tree and the grass were covered in a light dusting of snow. As the temp was not so cold, the snow kind of melted on to the branch give that white background to everything. It was a beautiful morning.

Abstract is bac..

Ok, here is a good shot of things I really like doing. I was sitting at my desk and looked at the radiator of all things. It was night time so the light was hitting it in a different light. I liked how the shadows gave it a unique definition and made it look like something other than a radiator. What it looked like I am not sure, I guess that's up to you to decide. I didn't put it in black and white although I did consider it. I shot it with a flash and if gave it that grey effect. Well, there you go. Graag Gadaan.

Peace Disturbed

Here is a picture of the Helicopter that disturbed my peaceful study this morning. It was floating quite low over the Grote Markt here in the Centrum and was making a lot of noise. At first I thought it was some sort of construction equipment, but then it flew over my flat. By the way, what a beautiful day here in Den Haag, the sun is out and the sky is blue. I guess with all that a Helicopter disturbing my study isn't the worst thing that could have happened this morning. I mean the phone could have rang instead...

Bricks of Holland

Everywhere you go in Holland you will see bricks. Bricks on the ground, brick in the walls, even sometimes bricks in the air, that if someone is really mad. The inlaid brick streets and sidewalks add a nice old world charm to the country and also keep a lot of people employed. I have to say I do like the brick, although I know its not the most efficient use of material its still nice and pretty.

The Famous Geese of Holland

Yes, come one, come all to see the famous Geese of Holland. They are white and orange and white...yes. They are massive and keep the rat population to a minimum. Dutch Geese come to The Hague and see the famous Geese. Don't miss this one kids, Geese.

So Cool

This statue has now changed my route to work. Not only because of the statue, but because going by it is shorter, but it is so cool. I have only seen it at a glance before today. Today though I decided to go find it and take a picture, I mean you only live once right. The detail in this sculpture is what caught my eye, and it is so surreal. Enjoy.

The Path Ahead

Here is a picture of part of my path to my Dutch lesson. The park is called the Maliveld. To was a mysterious day in The Hague, fog and low clouds have covered the city most of the day. This scene struck me today because of the path ahead of me. There are some hard things on the horizon, big decisions, tough times, work. Sometime its seems as though I am alone, but I am not. Sometimes it seems like no one has done this before, but they have. Sometimes I want to just turn around, but I don't. I keep going, one day at a time down the path ahead.
