Magic hour
Leidsebosje, Amsterdam, 8 pm.
‘What, another tree pic?’ You might wonder. Yes, another tree pic because I like trees. Can’t help it, always have. Yesterday I walked home after a long day at work. The sun was going down, and the remaining beams gave a magic glow to everything. In film jargon we call it ‘magic hour’ for that reason. The light made the trees at the Leidsebosje stand out, it gave me a peaceful feeling while standing in the busy, crowded city.

Reaching for the sky
Sometimes it’s nice just to look up, and not only to check if there isn’t a pigeon trying to take a shit on your head. Looking up one often sees the tower of churches. Although churches sometimes are remarkable architectural art forms, I am not very fond of the concept of organised religion. No, let me rephrase that: I totally detest organised religion in any form. Those churches took a lot of money and time to build: money the bastards ripped from regular Joe’s. Religion is the pest of the world and as far as I am concerned, should be banned. But hey, that’s just me. So I’d rather look at the crown of a tree. I find that more relaxing. Delft has a lot of churches. Seems to me that it is or was a very religious town. Sunday morning, plenty of church bells were chase away the silence.

Beautiful tree
Botanical garden, Delft 1:15 pm
In the botanical garden run by the TU Delft, we saw this interestingly shaped tree, which I think is a beautiful tree as I’ve ever seen one. It would suit a decor of a Tim Burton movie just nicely.

Spooky trees
Vondelpark, 10:00 pm
Some trees in The Vondelpark are still covered with caterpillar goo. It’s looks kind of spooky. Although, it also looks as if the trees are wearing stockings.
