The nice thing of flea markets

In addition to occasional unusual finds, there are many birds of paradise walking around. Always a pleasure to see.

View in Oosterwold

Was Sunday again looking at the newest district of Almere Oosterwold where you can build houses without government interference but with fixed rules about eco friendliness (such as no gas use) and that you must use at least 1/3 of your land for vegetable garden. You also have to take care of your own sewerage etc.  It turns out that a lot of people have trouble with that and have underestimated the cost of their own energy supply, which makes the architecture of some houses look more like a glorified shed. Still, there are some gems among them.

Magnolia

Our neighbor's magnolia seems to have something to offer. Blooms very early this year, by the way. 

Painted facades

In the town of Tralee in the southwest of Ireland, this is truly elevated to an art. So nice to see. Some photos from a holiday in 2014. (Header Dam square in the evening)

Stern look

 Yes they can do that well those bald eagles. One for Saturday Critters here.

Evening Red

 But taken off the couch again. One for Skywatch Friday here.
