#pinnedpost Nice to meet you all! My name is Dacapo, and I will be your purveyor of landscape, architecture, and animal photography mixed with random sillyness.

If you follow me, here's roughly what you may expect. :-)

Moving around some of our records this afternoon, I have to stop and reflect on how great some of these finds have been over the years. #vinylsky

A bit of sunny Brutalism to end the day with. The former Bosch building (and Philips building before that) in Strijp-S, Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

The former office of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management of the Netherlands, situated in Den Bosch. This picture was taken before it was unrecognizably renovated into apartments.

Somewhere on the streets of Tilburg. These two have been here for years. Perhaps a passion that lost the fight against reality?

They didn’t know which factory had built him and there was no serial number or manual anywhere, but they decided they would love him for however long his battery lasted. #grickledoodle #robots #love #loss #human #cartoon #art #drawing

So-lid SHARK, doot doot da do d-do!

A silly drawing of a shark as Solid Snake, from Metal Gear Solid. He has a bandana around the tip of his snout, and is holding Snake's pistol in his flipper, while an exclamation point is appearing near his head. Artwork by The Dammitch.

Going to church on #stunday: St. Aposteln in Cologne. Built in the early 11th century, it's one of 12 major Romanesque churches in the German town of cologne.

Going to church on #stunday: The Lebuïnus church in Deventer, the Netherlands. A massive 15/16th century late Gothic hall church, but incorporating important parts of an 11th century Romanesque predecessor.

It's #CDFriday, so it's time for Zipper's 80's extravaganza. And you can't get more eighties than with an album that contains a song called Eighties (which was perhaps subconsciously inspired by Life Goes On by the Damned).

Cycling through the Dutch polders on the way to the tiny medieval town of Megen, the Netherlands. Photograph taken sometime in the spring of 2016.

Happy Friday #scape day. ^_^

A classy shopwindow on the Nieuwe Binnenweg in Rotterdam. I can't really place the style. Could be art deco, could be 1950's modernism.

Wat nieuw smaakvol leesvoer om inspiratie op te doen voor toekomstige tochtjes.

De anzichtkaarten zijn een leuke toevoeging. :-)

The complex in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, known as the Technicon. Built between 1961 and 1970, it was intended to contain several schools focusing on technical education.

illustration of 5 cute brown bears in a marching band. They play the following instruments: the trumpet, the trombone, a big drum, an oboe, and the cymbals. They are wearing matching red marching band hats with white feathers. There are music notes and noise sounds surrounding them. Below them is text reading "... and the marching band is playing a ditty! It looks like they are giving it their all..."

Autumn in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

I didn't bring a proper camera with me because in this grey and wet weather, you won't find anything nice to photograph anyway. Shows what I know I guess... ^_^
