While cruising around in the Berner Oberland, Switzerland, we were on the search for a parking spot to stretch the legs and take some photos... '1km to next P' ..

well.. uhm.. it was a parkingspot but somehow we did not stay that long :)

Love the eyes though - they always seem to be staring at you from no matter what angle you look at them :)

Some colour for them grey and rainy (well, at least here in NL) days

This little dude (girl?) was probably caught by our cat and brought inside 'to pleaze da humans' :)
The mouse did have other thoughts about it and hide itself inside the washingmachine .. how practical - took quite some time getting him (her?) out.
All at night, of course. Nothing as fun as waking them humans, ey cat!
A short stay in a plastic box and off it went into the park nearby.

Kinda like the 'hoovering' look :)

_As always, all shot with the Canon Powershot G12, handheld; all images in large format avail also at http://images.hani.nl_

The image(s) are just tooooo fun but the story behind is maybe even more fun:

"Visiting a national park in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, award-winning photographer Mr Slater left his camera unattended for a while.
It soon attracted the attention of an inquisitive female from a local group of crested black macaque monkeys, known for their intelligence and dexterity.
Fascinated by her reflection in the lens, she then somehow managed to start the camera. The upshot: A splendid self-portrait."

Until then, the bench will have to wait for company.

Frozen childhood

It was a bit chilly but sooo quiet ..
Taking a short break from a walk in the woods and just listening to the silence and watching the absence of people.

After the town expanded across the river, a special bridge for pedestrians and bikers was attached to the railway bridge. Somehow the old and new shapes do match rather well I think :)

'Kronenburger Tower", at the Kronenburgerpark Nijmegen, NL
The Kronenburgerpark in Nijmegen has an English landscape style. The thirty-meter high Gunpowder or Kronenburger Tower was built 1425 as a defense tower . Today, together with the round walltowers and parts of the old defensewall, it is merely a remnant of the demolished fortifications of Nijmegen.
(Nijmegen is the oldest city in the Netherlands: today it goes back 2007 years in history)

Monument voor Joris Ivens, beroemd filmmaker, in 1990 onthuld. Het metershoge monument van plaatstaal doet denken aan een flessenopener maar moet worden gezien als een gestileerde filmcamera. Het komt van de hand van B. Maters. Erop staat: "Dikwijls, ver weg, bleef Nijmegen, mijn jeugd, toch dicht bij mij."
--
In 1990 this monument for Joris Ivens, a famous cineast, was unveiled. The monument, made out of sheet steel and several metres high, brings to mind a bottle-opener but should be taken for a stylised film camera. It was designed by B. Maters. It carries the text: "Dikwijls, ver weg, bleef Nijmegen, mijn jeugd, toch dicht bij mij. Joris Ivens" (translation: Often, far away, Nijmegen, my youth, still remained close to me. Joris Ivens).

Well.. that was an unexpected sign while driving around the Swiss alpes..

It was a nice day to be outdoors today. Unfortunately the sky was grey but ah well. Just before we reached our car again it started raining so timing was goodie :)

All shot at the 'Hatertse Vennen' with the Canon Powershot G12.

Can you guess what it is?

its a cushioned view of a part of my harddisk as seen from the freeware app 'sequioaview' from the University of Technology, Eindhoven NL :)
Trying (needing) to free up some space but that may be difficult :(

cool app btw .. if you wonder what files consume most diskspace, its an app for you

RESHARE:
Now .. this is really cool!

make sure:
1) Use headphones
2) Left speaker is on the left side; right speaker on the right side (please do check: wearing them at the wrong sides will spoil da fun)
3) You can safely turn up the volume: there are no sudden screams or loud noises: I promise!
4) Sit back; start playback and close your eyes

and? quite cool indeed, isn't it?
