House


House, originally uploaded by XPeria2Day.

Finally I took a picture of this house. For years I sometimes see it in the morning when I'm driving to work. The house then begs to be photographed. This was not one of those moments but now was the first time I walked by. And I did take the opportunity to finally photograph it.

Since two months now I haven't been to Winschoot at this time of day. The green tower in the morninglight.

In the Veenkoloniaal Museum in Veendam this is part of an exhibition on natural gas mining. It is rather pink.

Cream in Minehead


Cream in Minehead, originally uploaded by XPeria2Day.

Historically, Taunton is part of Minehead already. It was the only thing on my mind when I wandered through Minehead, enjoying the seaview on a quiet, wintery day. And then we were cold and wanted a warm drink. Cream is where we found it.


Soon a grandfather, grandmother (presumably) and their granddaughter sat on this table. The grandfather read the girl from the Three Little Piggies: "So he huffed, and he puffed, and he puffed, and he huffed, and at last he blew the house down, and he ate up the little pig."


And the little girl was so totally into the story that I couldn't refrain from watching them. It was very touching and beautiful.


This place was the best find during our holiday in the neighbourhood of Minehead. I had the best hot chocolate in ages with a delicious piece of cake. Cream!


This is the info I got off the net about them:

From the Ebbingebrug looking at Nieuwe Ebbingestraat


E, originally uploaded by XPeria2Day.

I crossed the red light from Oude Ebbingestraat to the Ebbingebrug on my bicycle. Then the traffic started on the Diepenring so I waited a bit. When the pedestrians got their green light I started bicycling again. Like a regular city-person I wasn't going to wait for a useless traffic-light. Duh.

Weem in Westeremden


Weem, originally uploaded by XPeria2Day.

The house of painter Henk Helmantel whom we met after we visited his 20th yearly exhibition. This was our first time and I thoroughly enjoyed the tone of light of his paintings. As we left he just came out of the door and we exchanged a few words about the beautiful weather.

Parking under the Ossenmarkt


Park, originally uploaded by XPeria2Day.

Under the Ossenmarkt, the light is blue now. It changes colour slowly. This is the best parking in town with an inwardbound and outwardbound spiral and every parking-space is left or right tangential to the spiral. Easiest parking possible.

Morninglight on the tower of the townhall


Morn, originally uploaded by XPeria2Day.

Apparently the last beautiful, sunshiny day of the late summer. It gets light later these days, and it is not as warm as it used to be. Even when it's very sunny.

Morning building

In the fresh morning light everything looks prettier. Even green towers in Winschoten.
