Amsterdam - Spaarndammerplantsoen.
"Spaarndam 2" is a social housing complex built in the Amsterdam School style of architecture and designed in 1918 by architect Michel de Klerk. With this sculptural block, De Klerk has made a major contribution to the street scene. Particularly beautiful are the trapezoidal windows, the sculptures above the porches reminiscent of mushrooms and starfish, the imaginative wooden attic windows and the very special organic windows of the former shop corner.
Restoration was completed this spring.
Spaarndam 2 is één van de drie monumentale volkswoningbouwcomplexen in het Spaarndammerplantsoen in Amsterdam. Het werd in 1918 door Michel de Klerk ontworpen voor woningbouwvereniging Eigen Haard. Het gebouw is gebouwd in de stijl van de architectuurstroming ‘Amsterdamse School’.
De bouwstijl ‘Amsterdamse school’ (sinds 1916) wordt getypeerd door het gebruik van expressieve en fantastische vormen, verwant aan het expressionisme. Kenmerkend is het gebruik van veel baksteen en de versieringen in de gevels.
Het complex, met 48 woningen, is onlangs gerenoveerd en gerestaureerd.
Happy Wall Wednesday!
I heard from a few friends recently about their new year’s resolutions. Quite frankly, I never believed in that. Why does one has to wait for a specific date to make a resolution? For me, the end of a year has always been a time to reflect about the year that passed and draw conclusions. I once wrote on a contact’s stream that ‘if the pandemic has taught us anything is to be kinder to each other’. Saying it was perhaps too naïve. Instead, I should have written that if the pandemic has taught us anything is how we endure and react during challenging times. It is during such times that show more than anything else, who we really are.
So, let’s raise a glass to 2022, a year to create more memories, have more trips, and discover new places. I’ll drink to that!

This girl was clicked Spellbound at a Puppet Show recently at the Haryana Heritage Festival at Yadvindra Gardens Pinjore, Haryana North India.
I had to wait 10 minutes with my camera focused on her to catch this expression; she was oblivious.
The Puppeteer suddenly sling-ed the Snake Puppet out of the booth on which she reacted and CLICK!
Please excuse the size, I lost the original photo :(
Suggestions/Critics Invited
Every now and then you see things you never thought you would ever see.
This fellow was practicing his skills on these very uneven rocks at the edge of a cliff that fell sharply to the ocean below. It was difficult to know if he was just expressing himself or if he was attempting to impress either the people along the beach who gathered to watch him or his girlfriend who was egging him on from her position just off camera to the right. Regardless it is certainly unique expression.

This is the head/face of a wooden sculpture that I had purchased in Costa Rica a few years ago. The facial expression was intriguing and mysterious to me. The artist had created several sculptures ranging from 15" tall to 6' tall. He used the wood from trees that had died or were cut down, to create the bodies and recyled bicycle chain rings for the hair...I fell in love with her. ;)
Happy Macro Monday.. to everyone out there today!
I really hope that I could back to Nepal early next year, if everything permits.
Being there between January and April is like being outdoor in air conditioning. Not too cold and definitely not hot.
It will be my 7th trip to my favourite country to visit where in the first 6 visits, I have spent more than 1.5 years in total. Nepal is a country that has taught me a lot, especially patience.
How do you get better at anything? Practice. Practice. Practice.
ps: As usual, I am pushing my ONLY gallery called WHY NOT???

Tusu Dance
West Bengal is one of the important cultural states of India. Folk dances and music is a part of the life of people here. This state is a loving home of various tribal groups of people. These communities perform their own cultural and traditional activities on various occasion and festivities.
'Makara Sankranti' is an important festival in all parts of Bengal. The Tusu Parab is held in Birbhum District on this occasion. Groups of young girls gather every evening throughout the month of Poush (December-January) and sing songs which have been termed by the generic term Tusu. On the day of Makar Sakranti (around 15th January), people gather around a pond or a river, mostly out of the village. After offering their prayers to Goddess Tusu, people sing and dance on the banks of the river or pond. The songs are accompanied by simple group movements: there is no other accompaniment.
Poush Mela / পৌষ মেলা
