{Day 50/365} Autumn treasures

Hooray! I am already at day 50 of my Project365! It's Sunday today and I am locked up inside for study related reasons, but I really wanted to go out and play with my camera, so I did. I walked around the block for a while and I enjoyed everything autumn.

{Day 48/365} Reflections of autumn

Today I finished things at university quite early so I had some time left to go to the market in the city center, and therefore I needed to go another route than I usually take. This one actually leads close to my old home, and I passed this scenery which I saw when I looked over my shoulder during cycling. Kinda dangerous, sometimes, but it got me this shot!

{Day 44/365} Beautiful doors for future homes

Today I was walking through the city centre and this beautiful entrance caught my eye. I think it's absolutely perfectstunningbeautifulamazing, so I'd love to have this door or something similar in my future home.

{Day 43/365} The arrival of autumn

As you might know, I am a student and during week days I have to go to the university campus, which is in the north of the city, while I live all the way in the south. It's a bike ride of about 6 kilometers, so I see quite a lot when I'm on my way. Every day I pass this park called 'Noorderplantsoen' and from day to day I see how it turns more and more into a autumn scenery. These are the first four pictures I took, and there are many more to come.

{Day 40/365} Autumn close to home

Every time I walk from my home to the supermarket I pass this lovely place. It looks even prettier nowadays with the autumn colored trees.

{Day 32/365} Street art

I really like good street art, and I really liked this piece in one of Groningen's city centre streets.

{Day 27/365} Foggy mornings

This morning I had to catch an early bus to go to work and from my kitchen I could see a great (foggy) sunrise. The sunrise from the bus (highway) was even more beautiful, with the fog clearly visible around this little lake:

{Day 25/365} Pumpkins

Today, after my exam, I was on my way to see my sister in law, and I stumbled across a lovely biological farmers market. It was a teeny tiny market (run by internationals, to my surprise), but they had lots of vegetables which would make a perfect dinner. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to buy anything, but next time I see them I will definitely buy one of these amazing pumpkins, to make - at least! - one of the amazing pumpkin recipes I found online. For example this recipe for an amazing version of pumpkin bread. But I was also thinking about pumpkin soup, for example this recipe

{Day 17/365} Cutest house on the block

This morning, on my way from the university to the city centre, I spotted this amazing red house. Definitely the cutest one on the block. A little bit of the countryside, in the city. I love it.

{Day 11/365) Houseboats

Groningen's city centre is surrounded by canals, which are basically the lots for some amazing houseboats. Sometimes I take a better look at them, and I had to giggle when I saw this one, which has a serious relax situation going on outside.

Houseboats are pretty common in the Netherlands, they have been part of the Dutch townscape for centuries (17th century), and in Groningen we even had an election of the prettiest houseboat. You can check the contestants out on this website. I have the idea that houseboats have been gaining popularity lately, seen the fact that even students like to rent rooms in this extraordinary type of accommodation.
