Winter Collection 2012 Netherlands

Better late than never they say. When almost all of us thought no more snows or no more negative temperatures, the snow and cold came! It's not bad though, more fast calories burning, refreshed feeling, cleaned grounds, etcetera, etcetera! For me, taking photos on this rare weather condition is always a pleasure!

Basketball Alone (No Teammates)...Sad!

Today, it was a very congenial weather in Zuid Holland. I was able to do basketball in the park and had time also to practise with my new inline skates. I have bettercontrol now than last week. I moved to a bigger wheeled one and a faster better inline skates but I have topractise before I can get used to it...And I do love it! Much! This post is for the basketball part, though. :=) Riminisching..

Exploring the Neigborhood and my Lucky Day

One weekend, Amò and I decided to walk around the neighborhood and just wander around. We ended at this little park where there's no one and it's quite not maintained. It's a pity why this is the state of this little park but it's not as bad as it is assumed to be I think. There are still ducks floating in thepond/pool but the cleanliness is not up to standard. Maybe it's the size? Or maybe the positon that the sun really does not she its rays over there? No idea. See some photos....

A Few Vienna, Austria Experience: City, Colleagues, Food, Delicacies

I was in Vienna for 2 days, the end of March and the first of April, and it was a pity I could not really give much to look around and to enjoy as tourist. Little as I could, I tried my best. Generally, the city center was amazing. The buildings were so much different from other cities I have seen. I mean, the uniqueness, the solid structures and looks of the building all over the center and the nearby areas were really something that struck me.

About the food, nothingmuch to say. I don't know what's the traditional Wien food so no comment here. But mylunch wasnot good enough... the lunch from the Botschaft in the photo.

The delicacy, the choco-filled-layered mozartskugeln (mozart's bullets)is really yummy. Below are some of the personalphotos with colleagues and the city.

Rijswijk Christmas Nature in Netherlands 2010

We had our guests a couple and 3 kids during the Christmas holiday. They're from another country... in a city where Mercedez Benz was born (guessing time). During Christmas, we had to show them around, especially the kids because they are here with us only for a few days. As we were walking to get the tram to someplace around, we passed by this park near where we live... but along the way, there were fun sighting too. See them below.

It was Christmas Day and the snow was thick but the sun was shining.
It was a lovely day. This is a close shot of the nest seen at the top
of the tree in the next photo.

See the nest up there?

We had also fun watching at this resting (or sleeping?) bird at the top of the street light!

Lucky ducks, they have a portion of the little lake left not frozen where they can swim and dive and look for their food...

Here's Rudolf being fed... he was tired from last night's service...:)

More food for Rudolf...

Foodfoodfood.... and it was later we realized it's not allowed to feed them!
