Bird on the Lookout

This recent bird photo from California did not make it into JB's Big World, so I wanted to post it here, as I liked it a lot. Perhaps he did not want to be JB's friend?

One Flower, Finally

I finally got one flower on my hardy Hibiscus plant, after moving it from sun to shade and back again; and giving more and then less water a few times.....

The quaint setting from my balcony of this Inn in Westlake Village, California, made last week at a sales meeting much more bearable!

Reflections of Bruges, Belgium

Bell Tower in Bruges, Belgium

jbsbigworld@gmail.com (JB's Big World) — Mon, 26 May 2008 23:59:00 +0000

The Bell Tower was built in the main square of Bruges Belgium in 1240, rebuilt after a fire in 1280. The octaganol top was added in 1483 - 1487. Bruges is a wonderful medieval town with amazing historical architecture!

The view from the top after climbing 366 steps is gorgous! The recent film, "In Bruges", was filmed in Bruges and in this tower and various sites around the town.

A little humor......by this time in my trip, we had spent so much money, all we could afford were some Pomme Frites (belgian French fries) from a stand in front of the Bell Tower!

The Boat Locks of Muiden

jbsbigworld@gmail.com (JB's Big World) — Thu, 22 May 2008 14:17:00 +0000

Holland, of course, has lots of water. Here I watched a boat come through the locks at Muiden, which was very interesting if you have never seen this.

The road was moved sideways in readiness for the boat coming through.

Almost there!

Going through!

People were waiting patiently to cross the road bridge.

You can see the boats passing through.

Coming out on the side of the sea. A little tight squeeze!

Muiderslot Castle

jbsbigworld@gmail.com (JB's Big World) — Sun, 18 May 2008 23:46:00 +0000

The Muiderslot castle in Muiden in North Holland was built in 1280 and rebuilt in 1370. It has been featured in many TV shows set in the middle ages. This is a very beautiful castle setting!

This is the view from the top of the castle towards the Ijsselmeer sea.

When driving away, I took this shot, as the castle looked so grand in the distance!

Westerkerk in Amsterdam

This is one of the oldest Protestant churches in the Netherlands, and was opened in 1631. Rembrandt, the famous painter, was buried in the church in 1669.

St. Bavo Catholic Cathedral in Haarlem, Holland

jbsbigworld@gmail.com (JB's Big World) — Mon, 12 May 2008 13:47:00 +0000

There is so much beautiful historical architecture in Holland. This was late in the day and not great light, but still amazing to see nevertheless!
