Another lovely concert today by @dariavdb@mastodon.art in a nice little salon in the country house Boekesteyn in ‘s Graveland. Wat een prachtig gebied!
Grasses by a slough, with overhanging branches and a field in the background. A really cool looking tower off away across a field with overhanging branches in the foreground and trees on the horizon before the tower. The tower appears to be concrete, maybe deco, with many metal terraces around it which might be antennas, and a huge mast on top with lots of antennas. Another view of a field of low grasses in bloom horizontally across the image, with marsh plants in front and behind it, trees behind that to the horizon, and overhanging branches from the tree along the avenue. There’s a bit of fence visible to the lower right, and a tower can be seen through the overhanging branches toward the upper left. A telephoto view down a long unpaved avenue, with beautiful tall trees in a perfect line down both sides, in full leaf. Two white-painted farm gates can be seen in the foreground, and some sky is visible on the left.

Red poppies and various other flowers amongst the grasses along the banks of Stadsbuitengracht (the canal on the west side of the binnenstad that used to be a stroad).

#Utrecht #Domtoren #Lace
Utrecht Domtoren lit up brilliantly against a cloudy dusk sky. You can see sky through the tower because the upper dome is so open. Lace made from stone.

At dusk, the old city street can be seen in the foreground warmly lit by lanterns. Across the old cityscape, silhouetted against the sky, we see the tower of Museum Catherijneconvent. The sky itself has a layer of fluffy clouds below, some clear sky with light clouds interspersed, and then a darker layer of clouds above.

Utrecht Domtoren (Cathedral spire) against layered clouds colored by sunset. Rooftops and trees in the foreground.

A fat church steeple is seen against the twilight skyline with the foliage of trees obscuring the main building, so that it looks like it's growing up out of some sort of mound covered with vegetation. No detail is visible in the foreground because of the darkness. Several other steeples and a hirise building are also visible against the sky. There are scattered small clouds.

Pretty cloud formations over the canal at Vredenburg, Utrecht. Lots of bikes crossing the next bridge to the north. Clouds are reflected on the canal. Greenery along the left bank, and trees in a line above the greenery.

Following up on the Dutch fireworks thing, it’s perhaps worth noting that this year Utrecht declared fireworks illegal. So we can assume that the fireworks this year were much less than last year. What you see in the attached video (shot well after the peak) should be taken as sort of a lower bound.

Utrecht Domtoren at midnight, with the cathedral to the right. Shot on an iPhone 16 pro max, handheld, through a closed window. I didn’t expect it to turn out.
The Utrecht Domtoren is lit up at night and stands out starkly bright against the night sky. The cathedral is visible to the right, lit up inside. Various roofs can be seen in the foreground.

View has improved.
Oudegracht roofs in the foreground, with some bare trees to the left, a church steeple in the near distance to the left, and the Domtoren a bit farther along on the right. A bank of clouds flows across the sky with a patch of blue to the left framing the steeple.

Obviously at some point this view has to get boring, but I’ll take it for now.
Moonrise over Utrecht binnenstad rooftops. Bank of fog to the left, glowing wisps of cloud above. Onion dome topped tower and square tower on the near horizon.

We have landed in our latest temporary apartment. Not going to complain about the views…

Looking down from above, a duck is making pretty patterns in the water of the canal.
