Shooting the Shooter - Fun Edition
I figure it’s about time I stop dragging things out from our US photo road trip (there’s still more to come) and start posting images from Lauren and Brandon’s visit to our home in the Netherlands. It was fun spending time with them and, thanks to the timing of work, I actually took off most of the time they were here. That meant I managed to get a bit of the vacation and relaxing I didn’t get during our two months in the US.
Their visit consisted of a mix of walks around Didam and Zevenaar, excursions around the Dutch countryside and just hanging out. One of the places we went to was the Open Air Museum (Openluchtmuseum) in Arnhem. It’s a large outdoor museum that focuses on the culture associated with the everyday lives of ordinary Dutch people over the centuries. At one point Ann nabbed a photograph of me taking a picture of Lauren and Brandon doing their best impression of a mainstay of Dutch culture. . .
Windmills.
A few days later, we decided to take a longer trip to the Dutch coast to see the famous dikes and made a stop at the Kazmattan Museum - the famous fort at the dike that resisted the Nazis in 1940 until the country surrendered. I did a blog post of that fort last year. This year as we were walking around, we kept joking about the number of urinals that were placed in what seemed to be every interior and exterior corner of the fort.
So naturally, I asked Brandon if he would be so kind as to pose for me, . . . and Ann took advantage of it!
Yeah, I guess if you’re on guard duty, you really don’t want to have to go inside to relieve yourself.
Well, that’s it for this shooting the shooter session. I promise that the next story about Lauren and Brandon’s visit will be a little more substantive . . . and less tongue-in-cheek.
