We parents took them to the train station but made sure we did not embarass them too much; so we kept our distance, although I did embarass my son as usual by taking pictures. <\/p>\n<p>Just waiting:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/46alt1.jpg\" alt=\"7617\" \/><br \/>\n<em>(Canon 1D Mark 2, 35mm L Canon, ISO 1600)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Talking:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/46alt2.jpg\" alt=\"7612\" \/><br \/>\n<em>(Canon 1D Mark 2, 35mm L Canon, ISO 1600)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Piling into the train:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/46alt3.jpg\" alt=\"7626\" \/><br \/>\n<em>(Canon 1D Mark 2, 35mm L Canon, ISO 1600)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I work in Eindhoven, a place not known for much besides being the original home of Philips. Here are two landmarks of the city. <em>Evoluon <\/em>is a building constructed by Philips in 1966 to celebrate the company&#8217;s 75th anniversary. Today it is a conference centre and supposedly the best-known structure in Eindhoven. There is definitely something very 60s about it:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/46alt4.jpg\" alt=\"7635\" \/><br \/>\n<em>(Canon 1D Mark 2, 24-70mm L Canon, ISO 200)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A more inviting place in Eindhoven is the Stratumdijk, the main bar street. Those of my co-workers who studied in Eindhoven all have fond memories of this street (or maybe not so many memories&#8230;):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/46alt5.jpg\" alt=\"7639\" \/><br \/>\n<em>(Canon 1D Mark 2, 24-70mm L Canon, ISO 200)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Finally, one morning I stopped in the town of Zaltbommel on my way to work, as I often do. I am used to seeing horses or goats grazing in all sorts of places in this country, including in the middle of town, but this time there was something different. A circus was in town, so the camels were having breakfast:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/46alt6.jpg\" alt=\"7653\" \/><br \/>\n<em>(Canon 1D Mark 2, 24-70mm L Canon, ISO 400)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/46alt7.jpg\" alt=\"7659\" \/><br \/>\n<em>(Canon 1D Mark 2, 24-70mm L Canon, ISO 400)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I have some ordinary life pictures.
