I was treated to homemade apple pie.

Thanks Mummy.

I received a parcel with three pairs of funky socks in it! I really can't complain, I've had three parcels in the post in the past 10 days. My, are my people nice!

Zeeland

The province of Zeeland is in fact a large river delta situated at the mouth of several major rivers. Most of the province lies below sea level and was reclaimed from the sea by inhabitants over time. What used to be a muddy landscape, flooding at high tide and reappearing at low tide, became a series of small man-made hills that stayed dry at all times. The people of the province would later connect the hills by creating dikes, which led to a chain of dry land that later grew into bigger islands and gave the province its current shape. The shape of the islands has changed over time at the hands of both man and nature. The North Sea flood of 1953 inundated vast amounts of land that were only partially reclaimed. The subsequent construction of the Delta Works also changed the face of the province. The infrastructure, although very distinct by the amount of bridges, tunnels and dams, has not shaped the geography of the province so much as the geography of the province has shaped its infrastructure. The dams, tunnels and bridges that are currently a vital part of the province's road system were constructed over the span of decades and came to replace old ferry lines. The final touch to this process came in 2003 when the Westerschelde tunnel was opened. It was the first solid connection between both banks of the Westerschelde and ended the era of water separating the islands and peninsulas of Zeeland.

Yesterday, while cooking myself lunch, I looked out the window and saw...

...this.

And this is nothing compared to what the colours of the leaves look like without a web quality optimisation of the jpgs.

There it was, waiting for me around the corner, smiling.

Como si tal cosa.

Y el abuelo venga a echar monedas!

Unexpected visitor.

...and so they thought, "Why not place a billboard of our cows on this building?"

I like the unexpeted way you find art around the corner here.

Unhealthy beauty.

When I ride past these chimneys I sometimes get a sour taste when I breathe in. But I still think the smoke coming out looks unhealthily beautiful.

Feeling the music!

I love to see how naturally children feel and enjoy music. I wonder why this isn't taken more into account at schools. There could be so much more to music lesson than just singing kid's songs and playing the flute.

It's definitely Autumn.
