#pinnedpost Nice to meet you all! My name is Dacapo, and I will be your purveyor of landscape, architecture, and animal photography mixed with random sillyness.
If you follow me, here's roughly what you may expect. :-)

Summertime in Dordrecht, the Netherlands.
Walking along the canal that was once the outer moat of the city defences. The road behind the house sits on a dike, hence the front door is on the first floor.

Some people have a spirit animal. Today I discovered I may have a spirit word. ^_^
Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

It's time for Zipper's 80's Extravaganza.
Everyone knows Eye of the Tiger, but several years later, Survivor dropped one of the best AOR albums of the decade, followed by one featuring one of the most 80's album covers ever.

Friday #scape day: Cycling somewhere in Brabant. I don't recall exactly where. But I think it's somewhere near Alphen, Chaam, or Baarle.

A nice Art Nouveau ensemble squeezed into a much older gable, fronting a house that probably even older.

Some of the rather expressive Protestant churches by architect Wouter Ingwersen, apparently inspired by Le Corbusier's Notre Dame du Haut chapel.

Several of the buildings designed by architect Pieter Dijkema, and built on and around the university campus in Nijmegen, the Netherlands during the 1950's and 60's.

You know, whenever I hear the name Smashing Pumpkins, I don't think loud, emotional alternative rock.
I think of pumpkins in waistcoats, top hats, and monocles, saying things like "Jolly weather, dear chap. Whut whut?"
Surely that's not just me?

The combination of red bricks against a blue sky is always special. In this case featuring a little villa in Bussum, the Netherlands, built in the expressionist Amsterdamse School style. Note the sculptures around the chimney.

Going to church on #stunday: The Saint Servais basilica in Maastricht. It was constructed from c. 1000 AD onward. And although it was significantly altered through the centuries, it remains the biggest and best preserved Romanesque church of the Netherlands.

Planning to replace my kitchen's exhaust hood puts me in mind of days past, to a household with multiple chain smokers, a frying pan in the kitchen, and no exhaust hood.
You didn't need a nail to hang a picture on the wall. It would just stick by itself...

Always nice to find something by Die Welttraumforscher out in the wild.
Tales from an imaginary universe told by an imaginary band living in the mind of an enigmatic Swiss man. Alternately whimsical, melancholic, tender, dark, and dreamlike.
