If you follow me, here's roughly what you may expect. :-)

The town of Breda's most and vibrant inhabitant.
This building is the former courthouse and this niche once contained a statue of Lady Justitia. The niche stood empty after the court moved to another building. In 1996 the current, rather flamboyant, tenant moved in.

It's always a good mawning with a good awning. :D
Anyway, here's the backside of the city theater of Utrecht, the Netherlands. Designed by Willem Dudok and built in 1937.

The vibrant primary colours of De Stijl. Shown here in Café De Unie in Rotterdam (1925 but later rebuilt) and a bakery in Tilburg (1932).

The iconic Leiden Centraal railway station. Built in 1996, it's perhaps not the prettiest, but certainly one of the most recognizable station buildings in Holland. It's (then) futuristic design symbolic for the optimistic mood in Western Europe in the 90's.

What was your #childhoodcinema
Mine was the filthy box known as the Euro Cinema in Hilversum. It was almost demolished when underneath the outer shell, an old Jugendstil garage building was discovered. It is now restored and a foodhall and brewery.

#CDFriday Or: How I made my acquaintance with the mighty Motorpsycho back in the day. I recall the cashier of the CD shop where I got Phanerothyme being equal parts surprised that they carried this and delighted that someone finally bought something descent. (It was a Free Record Shop in Amsterdam)

A very cozy Major Arcana reveal today! This is the Hermit from the upcoming Whimsy Woods Tarot I am creating w/ @deborahblakeauthor.bsky.social, to be published by Llewellyn Worldwide in 2027. Looks like a perfect snowy evening to me! ❄📚
Every card is created with ink, watercolor, + acryla gouache.

I dislike working from home. But at least it has the perk of being able to have a nice place for an after-work amble. ^_^

Going to church on #stunday: The church of saint John in Oisterwijk, the Netherlands. Built in 1927-28 in an Expressionist style after a design by H.W. Valk. The tower, designed by the same man in a more traditionalist style, was added in 1952-53.

And today I also learned why the shower tap was leaking for the last few days. Turns out rubber rings are supposed to be able to bend, rather than break in half and then crumble to dust between your fingers.
