I actually went for a walk and took photos today. Remarkable.
I don't particularly love this lens from an image quality point of view, but it is certainly versatile.

Off To Bed

The archive is taking a beating again, this one's a backup from about 3 weeks ago.
I spent most of my nominally free afternoon fiddling with work related things, albeit ones involving playing with my new 3D printer.
Geneva wheel mechanisms are really quite satisfying.

Going Dutch

I quite like this one, grubby weather notwithstanding.
Another backup, I am a tired quasi-human

The Netherlands, you say?

More like the Bikerlands!
Another backup shot from Arnhem, where the Dutch certainly live up to the cycling stereotype.

Storage For Persons In Transit

This one's a backup from the 7th, but amusingly, I could have taken essentially the same photo today had I been inclined - I was on the same vessel going in the opposite direction.
A tolerably successful trip, all told.

You Parked Over Here

Arnhem, and perhaps the Netherlands in general has some very interesting buildings that would be plain, boring, functional blocks at home.
This is one of the walkways in Arnhem Centraal station's car park. The building itself is a very funky freeform shape, and the stairwells are quite cool, with very few perpendicular lines, glass in unexpected places, and walls that are slightly angled in interesting ways.

The widget I was testing passed (yay), apart from the bits we ran out of time to do (boo), and the bits I failed to ask for a quote for (hiss).

Stupid Boy.

Welkom Op De Korenmarkt (unless you have more than two wheels)

I've been to Arnhem a few times over the years, but never had much opportunity to explore it until today.
I quite like it, at least the bits I've seen.

Incidentally, the rain in the Netherlands is every bit as wet as the rain in the UK (who knew?...)
