in de stad { around town }

this past week was peppered with visits to Den Haag, Amsterdam, Leiden...

stumbled upon this unexpected tumbling-book sculpture outside the museum meermanno

H and i went to the corpus museum ( FYI - good rainy afternoon activity for kids in NL, all about the human body) which was quite fascinating. the exterior walls were rocks-enclosed-in-wire and quite beautiful....as you can see H was quite intrigued.

there is a similiar one in marfa, TX. at the Capri events space at the thunderbird.

striking metal bridge signage : rotterdammerbrug & beulingsluis.

 bikes galore outside the amsterdam central station

top series of attached buildings: The Binnenhof, Den Haag, which houses the Dutch parliament, since 1446, and the centre of Dutch politics for many centuries.

bottom row leiden- loved the askew middle buildings.....can your OOG see?
