Two Mills
The Slinge near yesterday’s barn. The two houses here used to be watermills: a grain-mill and (the one on the right) an oil-mill. In the wall of the pink house you can still see the stump of the huge...
View ArticleThrough the Window
A view from a window of the white house of yesterday’s photo looking in the other direction. So this is the ‘Slinge’ after passing the two mills.
View ArticleNew Year
A bit belated of course, this view of some firecrackers at Wichmond in the small hours of the first day of the new year, but, methought, nice enough. Irmgard shot the photo.
View ArticleLlamas in The Dutch Mountains
Very unexpected: a small herd of llamas in an ordinary Dutch pasture. Apparently they did not mind the cold, but I suppose the Andes can be nippy as well. This is near Winterswijk.
View ArticleSnow!
This is a shot by Kees taken some years ago at one of the few occasions that there was actual snow in Holland. I am ‘kidnapping’ this view because I like it a lot, and there is a bit of nostalgia...
View ArticleJust Before the Shower
A threatening sky above Zutphen, and, indeed just after the photo it started to rain heavily. Because of a high wind blowing it stopped soon, fortunately. I really like the shoe-sign on the left.
View ArticleThe IJssel under a Dark Sky
Again a dark threatening sky, but no rain followed. Here is an almost classical look across the river with the ‘New Bridge’ in the distance.
View ArticleTracks near the River
A look from the ‘New Bridge’ that could be seen in the distance on yesterday’s photo. The pattern of the tracks caught my eye. This land near the river is flooded once or twice every winter after a...

Evening at Zutphen: a beautifully restored house and a cloud above it lit by the low sun, after a fine clear day.Time flies: this is photo number 50 already (and did not miss a day yet).
View ArticleSudden Rain
Holland is the country of the sudden showers. I took this from the Post Office while a group of children passes after school. It is funny that the vague reflections of the glass are adding to the feel...

There was some hoarfrost during the night last week. These hedges became interesting all of a sudden because of their sugared tops.They are on the edge of the Berkel, in front of the old ‘watergate’...
View ArticleThe Old Bridge
This is the same bridge as in: http://www.wimvandermeij.nl/index.php?dailypic=168 . It is the old bridge across the IJssel and it was one of the first in the nineteenth century. Around 1860 the first...
View ArticleWindmill on the IJssel
There was a fine iron windmill on the edge of the river, although I was never able to guess the use of it, it was beautiful to look at, and to see time taking its toll: ever more pieces of the vanes...
View ArticleAmaryllis
The amaryllis is very popular in Dutch houses. And they are quite beautiful and a miracle the way they grow from a big seemingly lifeless bulb. I saw this one looking across one of the Amsterdam...

The IJssel to the north framed by a part of the iron railway bridge. This is sitting next to the ‘old bridge’ of three days ago (on that photo it is on the right side).

On the IJsseldyke is this fine old building which used to be a laundry. Now someone is living there, but it is slowly falling apart all the same.It still is beautiful though and the dimensions of the...

Yesterday’s laundry: here you see an example of its falling apart. However, I think, because of that, it surely deserves a photo.
