90's architecture in the Netherlands was pretty much pastels and horizontal stripes. ^_^

It happened to that series by Michel Plessix I also bought. I had the first three books, then nothing. And then suddenly that wonderful hard-cover omnibus out of nowhere.

I guess we're lucky to be so close to France and Belgium.

Ah Haarlem! Ik dacht al, dat lettertype komt mij bekend voor. :-)

It's the problem here as well with most comics translated into Dutch. You start on a nice series and then half way through it's cancelled because it's not popular enough. Thankfully Blacksad is quite a success here, so I won't have to learn Spanish in order to read it. ^_^

I only found out about it recently myself. It's fun! :-) Mind you, Rinaldo is no Guarnido. So no hyper detailed water colour. But he has a very nice and enjoyable style of his own.

A little comic book haul from yesterday. ^_^ I was pleasantly surprised to see an integral hard-cover release of Michel Plessix' Le Vent Dans Les Saules. I love his art and it's a wonderful expansion on the story of the Wind in the Willows (of which he also made a beautiful comic version).

Now there's a song that requires you to remove fragile items from shelves before you play it.

Going to church on #stunday: St Gertrude in Bergen op Zoom, the Netherlands.

A building with a tragic history of destruction by wars, fires, and neglect, but still possessing a nice atmosphere and offering plenty of architectural details from all periods of its history.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

The former chapel of the Mariagaarde care home in Aarle-Rixtel, the Netherlands. Built in 1959 in the style of the Bossche School, it has recently been renovated and changed into a medical center.

Finishing my #CDFriday with some of Zipper's 80's extravaganza. This week, he wants you to tell it to his heart. ;-)

Geinig geveltje. Ik moest even goed kijken of er niet twee foto's net niet goed aan elkaar waren geplakt. :-)

Beverweerd castle near the city of Utrecht, the Netherlands. Although it looks like a 19th century Neo-Gothic manor, underneath all the wedding cake decorations a well preserved medieval stronghold is hidden.

Another #CDFriday, another Bucky's 90's nostalgia. This one's particularly to his liking as the album cover is pretty much him-coloured.

It's Friday #scape day, so enjoy this typical Dutch polder landscape, complete with free-range windmill. ^_^

Photographed some years ago on a bikeride from Utrecht to Wijk Bij Duurstede.

I'm still not quite sure what I've just seen or heard, but this Youtube comment section teaches me there is still some hope in humanity after all.
