Good numbers of this large solitary wasp at Gonsal Quarry. Here's a female carrying her Apis mellifera prey.
The two houses to the left (nrs. 41 and 42; odd and even numbers are on the same side here) are from 1889 and belong to an architectural unit that also includes the house around the corner, Van Ostadestraat 423. No information about the house to the right (nr. 40), but houses further to the right (or north) date from 1880.
In the foreground the River Amstel. Picture taken from Weesperzijde on the opposite bank of the river, looking towards the west.
The architectural drawings of the houses numbered 41-42 are in the Amsterdam municipal archives [Stadsarchief Amsterdam], including one of the facades, which can be seen in beeldbank.amsterdam.nl. On the window of nr. 41 you will see written "café Het Zwarte Paard – tapperij en slijterij". You will also see the names "Nieuwer-Amstel" and "Hoedemakersstraat". At the time these houses were built, the border of Amsterdam was just north of them and this part of Amsteldijk belonged to the municipality Nieuwer-Amstel, today called Amstelveen. Hoedemakersstraat was re-named Van Ostadestraat in 1904.
Those who know Dutch swimmer Ada Kok (Olympic gold medal in 200 m butterfly for women in 1968 and eight world record improvements in the 1960s) may like to know that nr. 41 was her parental home. See her in front of the house, where her parents ran a dairy shop, on a picture in the collection of the International Institute of Social History. For those who understand Dutch: www.onsamsterdam.nl. Today it is a restaurant.
One car has numbers painted on the side--race car perhaps???
Last summer Robert and I went out for an afternoon driving along the gravel roads and we came upon this place. It's a complete ghost town and only has a few buildings left. It doesn't really look like a ghost town--just a haphazard assortment of buildings sitting on the lonely windy prairie. Now I just have to go back someday and hopefully get permission to see inside most of the buildings!
Carlyle was a successful farming community once upon a time. 221 people lived there in 1941! It was on the Northern Pacific branch of the railroad (out of Beach ND). The railroad tracks are now long gone. There used to be a mercantile, many homes, a hotel and even a saloon but those are gone too. The post office opened in 1907 but closed in 1986.

Title: Covent Garden by John Allin

Size: 98 x 72 cm (38" x 28")

Made in England.
My first 2000 piece jigsaw and the first puzzle larger than 1500 pieces that I have assembled.
This was selected from the five, 2000 piece puzzles that I had accumulated on the basis that it may be the most straightforward to put together, as the others feature scenery. A counterpoint is that this is a painting rather than a photograph, which makes recognition of the patterns harder, at least for me.
On opening the box the first impression was "that is a lot of pieces" and all in one bag too, so no assistance there either from the manufacturer or the previous owners.
I don't have the space to have all of the pieces out of the box while working on the puzzle, at least not one this size. Therefore I have to empty the box and sort through the pile of pieces looking for those that I want next before replacing the remainder in the box. This takes time - 2 hours in this instance just to separate the first groups of pieces that I was looking for: the edge, the sky, and the cream coloured building in the middle of the finished picture.
Began with the roofline and the edge pieces for the sky before filling in the pieces in between which gave me the final width of the puzzle. Then I assembled the remaining edge pieces although I kept them in strips rather than completing the outline so that I might continue with my top-down approach to assembly.
Made the building by assembling windows and determining the location of each near-identical window in the puzzle. This is where you notice that the windows in the middle third have a more pronounced arch at the top, also where the joins between each column of pieces happen to be so that you can determine which windows are above or below each other in the jigsaw.
Having made the building I realised my mistake from the initial sorting of pieces - I had not sifted out the various roof tiles in order to join the buildings to the sky!
The second sort, which turned out to be a big one, was for bricks and tiles, which gave me the remainder of the buildings, with the notable exception of the two stone dressed structures, plus the roofs over the markets on the right. This by and large completed the upper half of the picture.
Faced with more sorting, and possibly the first of several, I decided to try something a little different for me. Rather than sorting for one particular colour or item I sorted the entire remainder of the pieces into four groups: buildings, people, vehicles, and other - the latter category including the "I've no idea what that might be" pieces.
By and large it worked. The first three groups were each small enough to be manageable in the space I have available and the 'other' group was going to be left until the end anyway.
The first of the groups to be built were the buildings, which gave me the remainder of the background buildings in the upper half of the puzzle, plus elements of the building on the left. This building proved to be difficult due to the shadows and slightly muddy colours meant that it was one of the final hold-outs at the end of the puzzle.
Once the vehicles had been built, and the remaining edge strips placed the picture was beginning to assume its completed form. The people pieces were then assembled which filled in more of the gaps and finally I was left with the 'others' to fill in the gaps in the foreground plus the building on the left.
The plain grey areas in the foreground were fairly straightforward, as the number of pieces that were those shades of grey without any part of a person or a vehicle present were fairly small. In addition that area had a texture which meant that it was obvious whether each piece was in portrait or landscape form, which I find a big help, plus there are variations in colour tone across the area which helped too.
One piece missing :-( This does mean that I have technically only assembled a 1999 piece puzzle at the moment, but if that piece were present I would know exactly where to put it! :-)
for my photography class as well.
dust is from the scanner. and the white is a little funny looking. but oh well.
its the numbers outside of my door. you know. those address number things.
