====================================

Here's a unique view of the appartment building in which I rent an appartment. "Wait! Only two car parking spaces for eight appartments!?" For sixteen, actually. Yes, having a car in Amsterdam is not very practical. There's also a large underground parking garage at some ten minutes walk, situated under a community swimming pool.

And it's a 'Tri State Area', meaning everything one could need is within 15 minutes by foot, by bike or public transport: a bar, the dentist, a grocery shop, another bar, a bakery, coffee houses, a diy shop... It baffles me that so many people are against the idea of everything closeby and would rather be in their car for three hours a day.

The few pictures in this Skywatch blog today were shot within a circle of a few hundred metres, just outside Amsterdam city center. The place I call home:

Taken from a bridge I cross coming home:

The community garden between two blocks. I live on one side, the mothers of my children lived on the other side and I regularly go for tea or groceries with an elderly neighbour who resides in the appartment where my youngest was born. 

=======================

Was suffering from a bit of melancholia when writing this piece of prose:

Not Today (a #poem)

They call me

in the middle of the night

but it's really daybreak

and they wake me up

to start a new day

But as soon as I realise

a new day has started

I want the day

to be in my past

To leave behind

the pain and sorrow

Until I remember

I will see you again

some day

that's just not

today
