Going to church on #stunday: The church of saint Peter in Utrecht, the Netherlands. One of five Romanesque churches built in the city in the early 11th century, and the best preserved.

Still a bit bummed that the last time I was in Bussum, this place had gone out of business. It was a beautiful bit of all-out studio Ghibli in an otherwise unremarkable Dutch town.

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.

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.

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

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.

And that one is a beauty as well. Although this one's only been a cathedral for 17 years in the 16th century.

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.

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.
