We wish everyone a Merry Christmas! This photograph was taken by my wife in front of our house (and first art gallery) during the recent Christmas in Old Kampen festival.

About me:
Dutchman, married to a beautiful and highly talented artist from Shanghai. PhD in chemistry, and a career in a large multinational energy company until early retirement. My hobbies: music, art, photography, chess, sudoku, word games.
About this blog: I started this blog in August 2006, just wanting to share what I considered interesting pieces of visual art and music. I suffered from blogging blues from time to time which made me re-start the blog a few times. I did another complete re-set in January 2022 with a change of types of post as another attempt to save the blog. The new format appealed to me, but I still ran out of steam in June 2023. Made another complete restart November 2024....
All pictures in my blog are hosted on blogger - if some do not show up (the red cross syndrome) it is a blogger hiccup. Right click and selecting "show picture" should do the trick.
