Cabo Espichel, Portugal

Cabo Espichel, a wonderful place for photography because of the colours and the buildings that are deserted. Cabo Espichel, PortugalCabo Espichel, Portugal
Today I was going to write a blog about my son, I promised my niece( martadeamsterdam.blogspot.com)who is in Holland and misses us a lot. But the subject is mad because he got in a discussion with his father, so no new pictures from this end today. We will try again tomorrow.

Eyes

Because of the post of Stewart in his blog lisbon-looks.blogspot.com/ about eyes, I rembered some of my pictures who where published in a book.
This German book "Erklãr mir, warum" is a book for children explaining "why" of things.
These pictures where used by the question "why do we have to close our eyes over?

Graveyard Blaricum, Holland

During my stay at my dear friends house in Holland, we went to visit the graveyard in Blaricum.
There is an old part with the traditional graves, and a new part.
This new part touched me profoundly.With so much love in the decoration of the graves.
I have never seen something like this before. I tried to photograph it.

Well I am back in blog world, I did miss it! Holland, one of the greatest things of this little overcrowed country is the BICYCLE: They are everywhere, and every one drives one, for fun, going to work, with children babies infront and in the back of the bicycle.
This for the portugues in good and BAD wheather!
