Hoofddorp by night

Old Pink Roses

Don't know whether this sounds funny in English. The roses are not old at all, but I am referring to the colour. In Dutch we have a name for a classical pink colour, 'oud roze' (= old pink). This is the colour that describes these roses best. They are really beautiful, don't you agree?

These pics are all taken in and around Hoofddorp, Haarlemmermeer - the place where I live with my family, near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. The panorama pics in the former entry are all taken during our holidays in France. Just let me know what you think!

Panorama Pics

Some pics I made during our holidays in France - using the panorama function of my digital camera Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS. The camera stitches 3 pictures together. I did not use a tripod. More pics to follow. Click to enlarge!

Wasted Beauty

Gladiolus

I bought these flowers last Saturday. This morning they stood in a vase on our table - shimmering in the early sunlight. I've captured this moment for you, pure and unprocessed!
The name “gladiolus” is a loan word from the Latin term “gladius” which means sword. The Gladiolus flowers with its sharp leaves represent the “roman gladiators”. Source

Deux chevaux

As promised in an earlier entry... here is another pic of one of my favourite classic cars!

Autumn left-over

Just a naked leaf that is trying to survive summer. I've helped it a little bit by taking this pic and saving this image.

Vases on a Shelf
