Cool hood ornament...

When we visited Canada we ran into these sleeping beauties, next to the road. The chrome was still good on this cool Pontiac hood ornament.

Cool hotel...

Holland is world famous for it's; tulips, wind mills, wooden shoes, Gouda cheese, Van Gogh, Rembrand, Johan Cruijff and so on. At a little village called Zaanse Schans you get an impression of how the houses looked like in that area way back in time.
A couple of years ago some architect decided to use the houses as an inspiration for a new to build hotel in Zaandam. In my opinion they did a really great job in building this hotel. Stacking them!!

Cool recycling...

In France, on our way home from a holiday, we stayed the night in a hotel after riding 500 kilometers that day. The lobby of that hotel was filled with 'recycle-art'. Oil drums transferred into seats, bicycle double folded and sprayed silver as a side table (in thhe back of this pica). Here you see the re-use of the oil drums and some traffic signs, build into a table on wheels.

Very special ring, found again...

I thought this beautifull ring was lost, the last time burglars visited my mums house... Thank God we found it ourselfs hidden somewhere in her home. After she decided she wanted to go on her last journey in Januari, we had it cleaned and polished. We had a jewelry photoshoot to make a beautifull picture of it to spread amongst family members.

This ring is so special to us because our dad gave this ring to our mum when she turned 40, 43 years ago. Just look at the design, the curves, the shape and the stone and you'll understand why I love this ring so much.

We used this ring as the cover of the acknowledgment after mum's funeral.

Statues...

On both side of the building, in a local shopping street, are these beautifull statues... The building itself is from the 17th century. Beautifull lines and if you look closely, she is not wearing a top... So my guess is that this is a woman from colonial time, the time the Dutch were overseas... Beautifully carved!

Morning colours

One morning on my (yes!) bicycle, on my way to the office... Morning mist, horse trailer, sun rise... A fine combination for a beautifull scene...

Short walk trough natures beauty...

It took only a 15 minute walk trough a local landed property, to collect a big amount of beautifull mushroom images. The were letterly everywhere. Look at thisone with his nice, bright and shiny hood...
