Tilburg, Acaciastraat. In 1932 ontwierp de plaatselijke architect S.G. Barenbrug (1892-1987) dit hoogst moderne pand in de stijl van De Stijl. Het wijkt af van alles wat hij verder ontwierp en wijkt ook af van alles wat er verder in Tilburg staat. Een wonder dat het ontwerp de Welstandscommissie heeft weten te overtuigen.
Toch is de ‘uitstap’ van Barenbrug niet zo vreemd. Hij was namelijk al lang bevriend met Antony Kok (1882-1969), die in Tilburg werkte als chef-commies bij de Staatsspoorwegen en daarnaast actief was als schrijver en dichter. In 1914 leerde Kok de nabij Tilburg gelegerde Theo van Doesburg kennen. Ze raakten bevriend, hielden contact en besloten samen met een aantal geestverwanten een tijdschrift te maken. Dat werd het in 1917 in Leiden, waar Van Doesburg inmiddels woonde, opgerichte De Stijl – en de rest is geschiedenis. Nadat Van Doesburg in 1931 overleed kwam er in 1932 ook een einde aan het tijdschrift.
Barenbrug speelde geen rol in De Stijl, maar het is een mooi toeval dat hij juist in dat jaar in Tilburg deze Broodbakkery realiseerde.

On a recent drive to Christchurch, I saw these beautiful clouds just past Lake Dunstan and had to pull over a few times to get various photos of them.

Spotted in Blackrock Park today and given a bit of Moonlight treatment or "nuite americaine" effect - thanks Alex for that name!

Gulls nest in large, densely packed, noisy colonies. They lay two or three speckled eggs in nests composed of vegetation. The young are precocial, born with dark mottled down and mobile upon hatching. Gulls are resourceful, inquisitive, and intelligent, the larger species, in particular, demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly developed social structure. For example, many gull colonies display mobbing behavior, attacking and harassing predators and other intruders.

Mum very carefully ushered her brood down the river constantly going back to make sure those that loitered got back to the group. Every so often a couple of chicks would get on her back and have a short ride. .
Zwolle Herman Brood
Hermanus "Herman" Brood (Dutch pronunciation: [ɦɛrˈmaːnɵs ˈɦɛrmɑn ˈbroːt]; 5 November 1946 – 11 July 2001) was a Dutch musician and painter. As a musician he achieved artistic and commercial success in the 1970s and 1980s, and was called "the greatest and only Dutch rock 'n' roll star". Later in life he started a successful career as a painter.
Known for his hedonistic lifestyle of "sex, drugs and rock 'n roll," Brood was an enfant terrible and a cultural figure whose suicide, apparently caused by a failure to kick his drug and alcohol habit, only strengthened his controversial status. His suicide, according to a poll organized to celebrate fifty years of Dutch popular music, was the most significant event in its history.

Our last brood of Eastern Bluebirds. Fledged four, but only three are following Daddy to the feeder now. About two-months old. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
‘Ook dit feestje gaat voorbij’ means such as ‘This party is also passing by’. Herman Brood (1946-2001) was a Dutch painter and singer/musician.
Bad weather had beset our journey from Perthshire up to the West Highlands, but we got a patch of sunshine as we were leaving Glen Coe, so I jumped out of the car and grabbed this shot.
Yesterday I joined Linda Cronin and Mickeydud on a trip to Bewl Water, a reservoir in Kent. Luckily this weather stayed in the distance.
Visited Spurn Point but it was too windy, too blue, by the time we got back to the car something else was happening.
A bit hit and miss weatherwise today near Petersfield, Hampshire...I always prefer some wonderful clouds to a featureless blue sky though!
The holiday in Kaitaia in the The Far North of NZ was almost over; this was the last evening - and on this particular evening, I'd been trying to capture a fast-setting sunset.
I wasn't successful...!
But when I turned around, this scene was right there, silent and brooding, the full moon peered down between the branches of the old Elm tree...
Thanks for visiting my Site Folks, and thanks especially for taking the time and trouble to leave a Comment; it's always nice to hear from you...!
Lake Sumter, Florida
Didn't think it would turn into a sunset, but the sun finally peeked out!
Have a good weekend!
The outside of Nottingham's future new Central Library, part of the Broadmarsh Car Park/Bus Station building. I don't know where the quotes are from -Google is no help.

So sad to report that one of the cygnets was lost this morning in a Mink attack. Didn't stand a chance as they are stuck on the moat unable to escape. We didn't witness it but had a phone call from a very distressed friend who had seen it happen. I only wish that Dunham had made the ramp less steep and a little wider to allow the youngsters to get out of the moat.
