Tidy
This was the nicest part of my cleaning frenzy today. I suppose it's a bit like a stone mandala or zen garden in the way that it calms me when i clean and arrange them.

Nuts and Bolts
The neighborhood behind my atelier is beautiful. This building has been derelict for years and if i had the funds I would restore it and move in immediately.
A short walk across the small gracht and you are in the center with interesting streets. This is one thing that attracted me to holland, I suppose.
Enjoy!
While shopping for vitamins I nipped into this arts and crafts store for a drawing pad. In the window was a small village and all the villagers were made of felt. creepy
This fine block of metal sculpture is held together by nuts and bolts, or is it? It may be a bit difficult to see with the reflections on the window and the whole time space continuum thing.

Catch up
It was a busy few days before Christmas. Shopping started in Haarlem on the 23rd. I really love the side streets in Haarlem. Nic this is the same street we had lunch in spring a few times and sat outside.
Since Vance's birdie episode I have been haunted. The Vishal is a Gallery in Haarlem. I usually like to duck in and see what is going on. I had to stop in to see the exhibit this time, due to it's content. Birds.
The 24th found me in Amsterdam. I am a New Yorker, I actually like the hustle and bustle and it still isn't as manic as America. I only stopped to look in the window at Pompadour. I was on a mission.
Negen straatjes. Pecorino was on the list. I thought the window looked somewhat festive. If you stare long enough at this photo you get dizzy. well, I do.
Someone's bright idea.
A quick stop at L'Occitane. I was informed that they will start another store in Haarlem in March.
Dat was het weer, tot het volgende keer!
Zen was on holiday, as was Esquinja. Good for them, beat for me.
This is proudly displayed on the Heinekenplein tram stop sign.
Merry Christmas!!

Happy Winter Solstice
Ducks are having some difficulty.
If it were not for the trunks of the trees, it would be endless.
A blurry photo of the grote tree in the grote markt.
The steeple behind belongs to a church where Mozart once played.
Haarlem is proud to say they use only energy efficient bulbs.
From another angle and much steadier, the same tree.
Lit up behind is the Gemente building.

Frosted flakes
a very frosty crispy sunday morning in the Amsterdamse bos
jack waiting patiently to run to the lake? He won't run out of my sight but when water is involved he can get a bit impatient.
a pond somewhat frozen over
jack and banjer playing tug of war
the light in Holland is beautiful, Joan Collins couldn't ask for better filtered light.

a certain kind of christmas market
Jesus is coming (look busy)
doesn't the architecture look familiar?
Jesus did eventually make an appearance
gemagic goes couture
Paper or plastic?
apparently it's not just a question asked in the supermarket anymore.
