The city centre offers many possibilities for a real voyage of discovery. A city tour takes you along the harbours, the six highest mills in the world, and distilleries and malthouses. You can also follow the footsteps of Saint Liduina, one of the most famous Dutch saints, by admiring her beautiful relics, located in the Liduina Basiliek. The museums, galleries, workshops and specialty shops are definitely worth a visit.
Moreover, throughout the year, the city centre is the backdrop for a large number of public events and has wonderful parks to settle on. Schiedam can also be discovered from the water: from April till October you can take a tour on the Fluisterboot. There are also various mooring points for cruises in the city centre.
The story of the city
The museums of Schiedam tell the story of the city. Relive the olden days in the old grocer’s shop of the Nationaal Coöperatie Museum or in the Jenevermuseum Schiedam, where you can still have a sip of old genever or corn spirit. In the Windmill Museum De Nieuwe Palmboom you can see the miller at work and exhibitions showing the milling history of Schiedam.
In the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam you can enjoy Dutch modern and contemporary art, with Post War as the main exhibition theme. The museum is located in the restored Sint Jacobs Gasthuis and has a wonderful permanent collection of over 250 Cobra works.

I, thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated
To closeness and the bettering of my mind.
William Shakespeare
You ask me why I dwell in the green mountain;
I smile and make no reply for my heart is free of care.
As the peach-blossom flows down stream and is gone into the unknown,
I have a world apart that is not among men.
Li Po
I've been nostalgic... This is the lovely Sakura, rescued by us some time ago. She lives in a wonderful home now...
Two more views of this beautiful park in Northern California. Unfortunately, it has been ravaged by the Dixie fire since shortly after we were there. The area around Summit Lake (above) is still closed to visitors but other areas are now open.
a possible respond when you are face to face with a 77mm diameter type of lens - in this case, an EF28-200mm with a 580EX flashing away.

Chionodoxas, also called "Glory of the Snow". We call them "chios". Easier to say. They come in various shades of blue, pink or white.
If you are not familiar with them, I recommend you get some for your garden, if in a northern climate. They are early, cheerful and make nice little bouquets.
this weeks MM theme: heart
I found this in the archives from back in 2013 and thought it looked remarkably like a heart. This particular Redbud tree gets deep colored leaves when they come out in the Spring.
