Hideaway

Sometimes I just want to stay in bed and escape the rat race... 

Certain elements in our bedroom prevent this from happening (smile)

Have a nice weekend!

Olives or Plums

Due to the incredible long and hot summer we have plum look-a-like olives

Autumn Walk

Camera Japan Festival

Last Saturday we visited the Camera Japan Festival.

The reason we travelled all the way to Amsterdam (smile)

We really wanted to see the short animated film,

designed for the Camera Japan Festival, on a extra large screen!

To my humble opinion this film is a very succesful cooperation

between some HKU students (graphics) and the kenderman (music)

here a couple of stills...

You can watch the short film here...

In preparation for Camera Japan we enjoyed some delicious Japanese food at Tempura.

And then we headed for Kriterion.

Where we saw the animated film on a big screen (big smile)
Followed by a beautiful Japanese film Flower and Sword.
We really enjoyed it so we'll be back for a later edition!

The Hortus

We wanted to check out the ferns in the Hortus of Amsterdam.

A happy kenderman... surrounded by treeferns (smile)

Dicksonia antarctica

Polypodium

we saw a pretty nice insect hotel

and a napping cat

We'll go back one day but it was time to leave for the main goal of the day...

  Yesterday we visited Amsterdam again.
You can see some earlier visits here.

On our way to the Hortus we passed Waterlooplein.

Around 25 years ago I was a regular visitor of this market (smile).
