Rhinos in Blijdorp Zoo

Rhinoceros family

I visited the local zoo Blijdorp last Sunday. The main attraction was the newly born rhinoceros called “Bertus”, born only a couple of days before.

New guitar

After I sold my stratocaster-lookalike last year, I have been playing solely on my Ibanez ArtCore. I missed the ease of playing of the stratocaster, so I decided to get myself a new one. This time I bought a real Fender and included a case so I can transport it safely. I really like the classic sunburst finish!

Delfshaven

Delfshaven

Last Saturday I visited Delfshaven, an old part of Rotterdam that was not bombed during WW2. A lot of people are not aware of the existence of these kinds of traditional Dutch canal houses in Rotterdam.

I participated in a business course of Deloitte Enterprise Risk Services in Budapest. I made some pictures during the couple of hours of free time in the fully packed program. During the business course, I also saw a traditional Hungarian horse show and participated in a Trabant rally.

More pictures of the Tulum archeological site at the Caribbean coast in Mexico. Although the Maya buildings are not as impressive as the other Maya sites I have visited, the surroundings and the blue color of the Caribbean more than make up for it.

Boats on Lago de Atitlán

Boats on Lago Atitlan

Lake Atitlan is the most stunning lake I have seen so far. I was lucky to be at the lake in Panajachel around 5 p.m. with my camera. During the day, the sky gets completely overcast by water vapor clouds that erupt from the volcanos. This gives the scenery an ominous look.

All pictures I took at Lake Atitlan and it surroundings can be found on Flickr. The pictures I took the morning after look entirely different because of the sky.

The best part of working late in the “Groothandelsgebouw” (literally, big trade building) as the ability to take pictures during sunset. Luckily, because of it being February, I didn’t actually have too work that late to catch the sunset.

Guess I still underestimate the power of me rocking out on my guitar… :-)
