Now, Off to Holland and Germany…
(Via gardenauthor)
Canal-side in Holland
(I do like the structure and formality, softened by the wise
use of color and texture, as well as by the canal's
mirror image.)
Amsterdam - miniature paving stones
form an intricate and pleasing pattern.
Window on Amsterdam (complete with butterfly lace curtain)
More crafty stonework graces this Amsterdam walkway
An Amsterdam Yew
More Amsterdam pavers
Chestnuts in a window... Edam, Holland
(Click here, on the San Francisco Chronicle website,
to learn the fate of Anne Frank's chestnut tree in Amsterdam)
Lastly, we find ourselves in Hamburg, Germany...
gazing up at an amazing spiral chimney,
cleverly designed and vented to prevent
a smoke-filled atmosphere, within the building.
Special thanks, again to S.R. Calef for the ©2007 photos from his European cruise. Disclaimer: The above photos are not mine, although I am grateful for such photos and the opportunity to share them, through this blog. I am not a world traveler. Not even close. On three separate occasions, did I travel great distances from my New England home. Are you ready? Mapleton, Maine - Mystic, Connecticut - Desmoines, Iowa - "that's all folks!" Seriously. So, I guess I'm living vicariously through the travels of others. Who knows, maybe someday I'll get me one o' them new-fangled digital cameras. Mustn't rush these things. Perhaps I'm still in mourning for my poor little dead Advantix camera... at some point, I shall move on.
