Friday.

Last weekend we visited friends who live in the country. I made photo’s of these  old farmhouses . I like the form of these houses. The roofs are built like a pyramid. I can’t find the proper English word for it. There are many of these farmhouses in the north west of our country.

And I have another sunrise I want to show you.

Long Weekend.

 

Today I am joining several memes  at once because I am busy watching the Olympic games. Do you watch the games? I love looking at all those young sportspeople from all over the world doing the best they can. Wonderful.

 

 

 

 

This beautiful sky I saw some days ago at sunrise, about 5 in the morning. I am usually not such an early riser but I couldn’t sleep. This is the real photo, no photoshopping.

The photo down here is of a sunset in the same week.

Monday.

A few weeks ago we visited friends in another part of the country. While walking around we saw this shop window with all these colorful figurines.  The shop was closed and looked really expensive. There was no name or pricetag to find so I can´t tell anything about them . Just that I liked them.
As I said I was in front of the shop window so my photo's are not the best in the world but I wanted to show them anyhow.

Istanbul.

 

Today we study the letter I for Ms Matlock’s class. I would like to give you an Impression of the city of Istanbul.

I made  many photo’s but I  took a few to make a collage.

 

As I said a very little impression.

If you want to see more of this beautiful city please google Istanbul, it is worth it. There is so much to tell and I am not good at that.

 

Istanbul at the Bosphorus.

 

Ayasofya, the most beautiful mosque with its four minarets.

 

Tourists in the Grand Bazaar an enormous , very famous shopping centre.

Down here there was this shop that sold so many spices and other goodies, I couldn’t get away from it. It was super. And that wonderful smell…….

 

 

 

And finally there is the Blue Mosque with its six minarets. It is the largest mosque of many many mosques in Istanbul.  We couldn’t visit it at the time as it was prayer time.

 

Now this is just a very little Impression of what I saw that day. I definitely want to go back some day because it is a beautiful city but hope to have more time then.

Weekend.

Last Saturday we spent some hours in Nice, in the south of France,  while waiting for our flight home after our cruise.

It was a beautiful but hot day so we walked around a bit through that beautiful city and sat at the beach for a while.

My photo’s speak for themselves.

Alphabe Thursday.

This week we study the letter F in Miss Matlock’s class. I found quite a few words with F but I only used a few.
These photo’s I made while on holidays. The collage I made of three photo’s from Rome and one I made  in Istanbul. I chose that one because it was so funny. It said Vitamin and Fast Food.

First the Flowers, there were so many of these bushes on the roads from Rome to our harbor which was a  one and a half hours drive.
Then that enormous Fountain on the Saint Peter’s Square and the Front of the basilique.
And a Funny photo of this shop saying Vitamin and Fast Food.

To me this is the most beautiful church in the world. It is stunning in and outside. I made a lot of photo’s of the inside too . Will show them sometime later.

Rome is such a beautiful city with many many old buildings, statues and churches. I would love to go there again
some day because you need a couple of days to see all the beauty.
