It's that time again

 

Seen in the northeast Flevoland polder.

Monday

 The week begins again with the necessary obstacles.

Happy moments.

 We must cherish those moments. Father and daughter from friends. (Header Oudezijds-kolk Amsterdam)

Conversation

 And not a mobile in sight. One for James Weekend Street/Reflections here.

Our more common sky

 Just around the corner for Skywatch Friday here.

Ballet pose

And now to put the cladding against it.

 

Signs

Sometimes there are a little too many. 

View in Oosterwold

Was Sunday again looking at the newest district of Almere Oosterwold where you can build houses without government interference but with fixed rules about eco friendliness (such as no gas use) and that you must use at least 1/3 of your land for vegetable garden. You also have to take care of your own sewerage etc.  It turns out that a lot of people have trouble with that and have underestimated the cost of their own energy supply, which makes the architecture of some houses look more like a glorified shed. Still, there are some gems among them.

Magnolia

Our neighbor's magnolia seems to have something to offer. Blooms very early this year, by the way. 

Painted facades

In the town of Tralee in the southwest of Ireland, this is truly elevated to an art. So nice to see. Some photos from a holiday in 2014. (Header Dam square in the evening)

Stern look

 Yes they can do that well those bald eagles. One for Saturday Critters here.

Evening Red

 But taken off the couch again. One for Skywatch Friday here.

Better ask permission

 Boss sheds the garden fence and I join in.

Art

 Thorsten Brinkmann trousers, shoes and plastic legs in the artist's laundry basket  . Seen in the Muncipal museum from The Hague.

Nice little terrace

 Whether their stuff is tasty I do not know but it is a typical Amsterdam location here on the Grimburgwal.

Hurray it is Monday again

 Heard on the radio this morning that we would run out of our natural supply today if everyone in the world lived on the same footing as we do in the Netherlands. Would say keep it up. It doesn't look like behavioral change is really possible. An annoying but real message.

New life

 

The neighbors will have their hands full with that next time.

A little atmosphere

 On the bridge at the Westerdok. One for James Weekend Street/Reflections here.

Another frayed edge gone.

Six months ago, it was still there. Now it's gone. Once a famous cafe restaurant Weesperzijde 250.

Village Streets

 From the archives. Small village street on Urk. Old fishing village once on an island in the "Zuiderzee". Now part of the N.O polder.
