Happy 2021 everyone!

Taken on New Year's Eve, with the last rays of 2020 descending on us rather brightly.

Well, it's actually more seeing than hearing with these ICEs. But at least it was coming round the bend.

My daily cycling round brought me here again today.

Today must be one of the clearest days of the year. Lovely Autumn sunshine.

Today, we enjoyed the last bright sunlight of 2020 on a morning walk in Ockenburg.

The sky was very clear, but there was a haze of mist between the trees making for some awesome views.

Just opened work of art by Korean artist Komsooja, depicting the connection between science and art.

In the work, a needle and thread pattern can be seen which hails back to the fabrics industry of Leiden. But also a string of DNA, depicting the science for which Leiden is currently known.

This morning I went cycling to 't Woudt (near Delft) to get some coffee. Bit windy, but such a beautiful clear day.

(sorry for crappy phone pics - I just went for the cycling but it was too nice out not to take some pics)
