Cádiz Window
This window in Cádiz breathes karma. I like this colour palette with the carmine red window, black bars, pastel yellow wall, and the greys with the fine line of golden sapphire. Clean, safe and secure in the quietness of siesta time.

Summer Shade
With snow and rain on our December paths and lanes, this summer shade is a hope for better days. You can almost sense the warm breeze.

Reflections
The sunlight tells the story of election day (for a new Dutch parliament) through the stained glass window. It seems to be a sign from above. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the pattern appeared on the wall while enjoying my coffee in the company of my son-in-law and one of my grandsons.
Could the fuzzy pattern be a metaphor for the results on this day? I thought. What is it trying to say to me? Which story is written here? Anyway, the scattered colours lead to a range of personal reflections about the state and future of our society and Nature, this on the morning after the (impressive) day before. The pattern has some mysticism in it. And beauty.

Regaining Respect
The stones of this city hall are many hundreds of years old. The shutter is made of wood from a late medieval forest. Despite its long history and tradition, present-day respect for the government has come to a new low point.
Elections have become a moment of regaining respect for those by whom we, citizens, are choosing a new team of people who can and may represent us. And therefore, it is all about respect for ourselves.
Let us celebrate the hope of good governance and prepare to improve things. Tomorrow is cleaning day (election in The Netherlands). We know what is at stake: the life of our children. Let’s go!
