Nederhorst Castle, the Netherlands. Medieval in origin, it was damaged by French troops in 1672 AD. Afterward, it was sold and rebuilt as a luxurious mansion. The towers and moat are there to show the ancient origin of the building, but had no defensive role. #photography #architecture

The theme of this weeks #blueskyartshow is #abandoned. This made me recall the time I and a good friend visited the remains of a once bustling factory in the town of Magdeburg, Germany. #photography #urbex

Attentie! Buurtpreventie. U wordt in de gaten gehouden.

Thanks for the quick posting and nice extra's, @machinefabriek.bsky.social . That's my #CDFriday all sorted! :-)

Zeeburgerbrug, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. July 28th, 2013.

Some views of the Blaaktoren in Rotterdam. A.k.a. The Pencil. #photography #architecture #rotterdam

Putting something glitchy, pinghy, ploppy, and blippy, yet soothing on the turntable tonight. ^_^

A windy and gloomy day on the island of Terschelling, the Netherlands. #photography

Some pics taken last Thursday, waiting 19 minutes at Maastricht railway station, in order to catch a 3 minute train ride. Perhaps walking would have been faster, but I didn't want to run the risk of losing my way. ^_^ #photography #architecture #Maastricht

Friday Morning in Rotterdam. #monochrome #photography #nederland

#Monochrome is the theme of this Saturday's #BlueSkyArtShow. So here's a view of Kinderdijk, taken on an already pretty monochrome day late last year. #photography #nederland

Working on the pictures I took on a walk through Rotterdam yesterday. While I normally prefer the nostalgia of brick gables, bendy streets, and little canals, sometimes it's fun to expose my camera to the optimism of naked concrete. #architecture #modernism #wederopbouw #photography

Enjoying #CDFriday enjoying some classics. ^_^

A simple yet tasty Valentine's day dinner. ^_^ It's Spaghetti all'Assassina, so I'm not sure about what message it actually sends, but it was quite tasty nonetheless. :-)

A few old pics of Wijchen castle, the Netherlands. An early 17th century renaissance palace, built on the remains of a medieval fortress. It's been in use as a town hall since the 1930's, and currently houses a museum. #photography #architecture #castle

Enjoying some classic Dutch literature in the train today. ^_^

Café Bustelo my beloved, that sweet nectar of bountiful energy. #art #coffee

Something nice on the turntable while preparing dinner. ^_^
