Every night we get a different kind of sunset. Not that my XPeria manages to capture it to it's full extent but I am still amazed daily.

Late evening sun breaks through

It was still warm this evening as we dined al fresco in Niehove at Eisseshof. It was somewhat cloudy but not chilly. And then the sun broke through. Maybe it was because of the wedding in the church where the flock was singing psalms.

On the occasion of my last day at work, a picture of the wonderful atrium in Scheemda. I will definitely remember the sound of rain on the glass roof. As this was impressive, giving the feeling of being in a big storm.

This is, more precise: a misty picture of some houses on one side of the harbour.

I always thought hay was packed in block-like packages, not in cylinders. Don't they roll off the carriage?

I guess this is where the farmers were cruising. Once upon a time. As the plaque says.

Beautiful area where the appearance of a boat suddenly brings in noise and smell of a combustion engine.

How many sunsets can one photograph? Yet, they are all different. I keep being amazed at the beauty of this phenomenon.

The conditions are such in this time of year that there are loads of balloons. I understand it is very expensive but also very exciting to make a balloon flight. Maybe next year for us?

Good icecream from Australian. My favourite flavor: chocolatechip. Here with
banana and whipped cream. Not bad. And a good desert after a good meal with
fish.

On the other side of the house there was another big balloon. The first balloon had traveled fast and is there too on the right.

Some days it is obviously good weather for ballooning and you see them a lot.

This has nothing to do with Holger Czukay's masterpiece. He only made masterpieces. Maybe still makes them.
This is the morningland, opposite of the eveningland. The morning holds promises. Where are we going today? I like mornings.

This is the end of the Dutch part of the North Sea Coastpath, a trail that leads from Portugal to Poland. The part in Groningen is called Wad- en Wierdenpad.

Where once the mighty farmers ruled and so established an underclass that took to communism.

I had to have the lights on this morning because it was so dark. I hope it's
not the season yet. Just that it's so grey and wet.

Not sixteen means everything, every age that is not sixteen. That could be
105, but also 13.

Beautiful spot where the Groninger Landschap foundation realised a holiday
home in a former farm. Sort of like the Landmark Trust in the UK.

Bicycling through the Koningslaagte it is impossible to understand that the
government is planning a road here.
