ROTTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS
and nearby areas
even Rotterdam has beautiful sunsets,
a view from our window.
tulips, tulips, tulips
These tulips are carved wood.
we are staying just two blocks from Station Centraal,
we seem to start and end our travels from here every day.

Peace Palace The Hague

Home the International Court of Justice

M. C. Escher
exhibit covering his life of
graphic arts, painting, pen and ink drawings. He was hired by many corporations ands retail companies to design their logos.
Escher's art is in the former winter palace of Queen Emma of The Netherlands, 19th C.
Using some of his graphic designs, the floors were covered with cut pieces of carpet tile.
A man after Ron's own heart - Ah carpet!
More pen & ink,
woodcuts, linotypes and painting
with intricate detail was Escher's style.

Oops! Missed the "t"
Just another lovely canal.
and there's Ron on the bridge looking for that
perfect photo to capture.
This looks sorta like some of Ron's photos,
but this is really tippy on its own
and definitely not his quality of work

Another little travel poem to share:
my years are like my old shoes
that fit just right
when we started walking together
it was a learning curve
they were new tight unscuffed
now I don’t want them to get
any more worn
some folks say
I take good care of my shoes
and look good for my age
but I can see the wear
I know where they have been
how many miles they have covered
through storms on sandy beaches
over miles of rocky roads and heartaches
still somewhat in fashion
certainly ready
for an update

Except my current travel shoes are starting
to lean outwards, ready for an update.
