Whether the Weather


It's actually been sunny here this past week. It's quite unusual when the sun shines in The Netherlands, the country of perpetual clouds.

Here's a photo I took a few days ago of the Rotterdam museum Boijmans van Beuningen. They a wonderful collection of paintings, including Breugel's The Tower of Babel, and Bosch's The Peddler (Marskramer).

The larger than life bowed screw, pictured, is by Claes Oldenburg.

It's a wonderful museum. You can have almost it all to yourself almost any day of the week. The last time I was there it was surprisingly crowded. A peaceful place to visit on a nice afternoon.
