Snow Capped Roofs

Who doesn't like snow capped roofs? Really, is there a more serene sight? Smoke pouring out of chimneys, snow laying softly on the rooftops, everything is peaceful and quite. Ahh, I love winter.

A Sucker

I am always a sucker for a beautiful sunset. The colors, the clouds, this one caught my eye as I was running out the door. A relatively cloudy day in The Hague ended with this. I would say that's a pretty nice end to a day in south holland.

The Entry Way

This is the entry way to my apartment building. Not very exciting. I actually thought the colors were left over from the 60's, but no they just repainted them fresh the other week, wow. This is one of those hallways that is out of the matrix, sterile and bleak. I thought I would take a picture, because in a way it is also contemplative. The hallway analogy, where are we going, what is around the corner. A lot of times this is all we see in front of us, boring life, sterile, but we don't know what is around the corner. Anything?

Simplicity

I love simplicity, I strive for it. I don't think life is complicated, but I think we make it complicated, because we want to feel like things are hard because they are complicated, rather than the simple reality of "Life is just hard." This picture captures my love of simplicity. The color is bright and vibrant, the pegs are decretive, again simple yet add to the overall ascetic of the wood. I look at this an appreciate the beauty in its simplicity.

Make up

ok, since I missed the last couple days, I am making it up with photo's I took on those days, Friday was the hotel, saturday is this museum and Sunday will be another photo. This museum is the Groningen Museum, very modern, very abstract and very weird, I was not a fan of the architecture, although I can appreciate the style it was done in, but I am not a fan of that style. It was a fun building though and brought some spark to a otherwise dreary day.

Hampshire Hotel

This was our hotel in Groningen. It was a very nice hotel for only 30 euros per night, amazing. We had a great time here, in Groningen the north of the Netherlands. It was freezing cold, but there was snow and a lot of fog. It was a fun relaxing time visiting a nice city.

Broken Leather man

Here is what a Leather man looks like after it fell apart when you were trying to fix your bike yesterday and all of a sudden your leather man drops 5 different amazing tools all over the dark hallway that you are working on your bike in. I don't know what happened, obviously the bolt that held everything together fell out, but I don't know when or where. So there you go.
