A Bird of Paradise Flower (Strelitzia reginae). I took this photo in one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world called Hortus Botanicus, which was founded in 1638 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. 🇳🇱 🪴🪴🪴
Pariser Klimaziele von 1,5 Grad Erderwärmung sind nicht mehr zu halten #Wilders will trotz zu erwartendem Meeresanstieg von 12 bis 20 m keinen #Klimaschutz, das sagt alles über diesen Faschisten/Rechtsradikalen in #Holland #NazisRaus
Catching up on my previous trips, look at this beautiful countryside of Zaandam in the Netherlands. I took this shot with the Zorki 4 camera (an old Soviet rangefinder) from 1966. 🥰
Gear:
• Zorki 4 (KMZ, 1966)
• Jupiter-8 50 mm f/2 (KMZ, 1967)
• Kodak Professional Portra 400/36
We love nature, even one located under a glass roof. This is a huge strelitzia (our favorite houseplant), commonly known as the Bird of Paradise Plant. I took this photo in Amsterdam, at one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world called Hortus Botanicus, which was founded in 1638. 🪴🪴🪴
Are you considering visiting the Netherlands because you’re interested in old architecture, canals, windmills, and museums?
COME TO LEIDEN
Leiden is: one intercity train station away from the airport (about 20 mins), just like Amsterdam; has all the historical and artistic value of Amsterdam and none of the sex or drug tourism; is extremely walkable and almost everything you want to see is within 1km of the station, literally everything within 2km; has a highly international population; is much less crowded than Amsterdam any time except the annual celebration of the lifting of the siege in early October. Everything is less tourist-priced as well.
A boat tour in good weather is a god-tier experience. In late spring through midsummer everything is coated in flowers.
I have lived here in Leiden for two years and been extremely happy, attached are photos I’ve taken myself.
Wenn der Zweirichtungzähler fehlt, können Solaranlagen keinen Strom einspeisen
Die Solaranlage ist bereits auf dem Dach, doch der Strom wird nicht ins öffentliche Netz eingespeist. Der Grund: Der Stromzähler ist noch nicht ausgetauscht. Das kann für Hausbesitzer frustrierend sein. Von J. Henninger.
Die Holländer sind bei der Bierauslieferung deutlich effizienter. Kein mühsames Fässerrollen mehr, hier wird einfach die Pipeline gelegt! 🍻🍺 #bier#holland#niederlande#bierpipeline#pipeline
