Six Years Ago

I was reminded by my Dutch friend Solange today that we were visiting her 6 years ago.

What an amazing vacation! I didn't have the nice camera I do now, but I got some good shots of her town of Alkmaar and also Edam, Hoorn and Amsterdam. We also visited Egmond aan Zee and the fortified, star shaped town of Naarden. What a beautiful country, can't wait to go back!

Spooky

Time to brush off my witch costume. Halloween is almost here!


I tried to dig up some of my spooky photos but I could only find two I took in Amsterdam a few years ago. I have some great photos from New Orleans but they are not on my computer. If I can find Marie Laveau's grave I will definately post it.

The one below was taken in Dam Square. There were these beautiful old buildings and right in the middle was a very weird and slightly tacky looking carnival. The devil was at the entrance for the fun house ride. I think this has a look of Heaven and Hell with the angelic looking sculptures on top of the Royal Palace.


The entryway was also taken in Holland. I am drawn to anything with skeletons so I had to snap a photo. I wish I would have found a graveyard to take a few photos in!
