Sunday, on my way back from the Centraal Museum, I couldn’t resist visiting my favourite sculpture. That also meant walking through the little park in which the sculpture stands. The weather was amazing and the sky was a stunning, pure blue. Everything was so crisp and I loved the shapes of the still-bare tree branches against the sky. But then I do love a good tree.
As I continued my walk, I went past Lepelenburg Park where I saw a group of young kids learning how to fence. The safety swords they were using reminded me of some of the tree branches. You’ll have to take my word, though, as I didn’t actually take any photos of their training session.
In all, it was a gorgeous spring day in Utrecht. Hopefully, it won’t be the last!

Lovin’ the first photo.
Did you see the Punk Exhibition? Really want to go once I can get off my arse.
Thanks. That first photo is now my desktop wallpaper. I find it impossible not to photograph him!
I did go see the punk exhibit. It was definitely worth a visit. Surprisingly interactive, as well, if you want. Fantastic Keith Haring piece and a great multi-piece work based on children’s colouring book images. Plus, all of the squatter info and photos. Lots to see!
Hello Alison
I’m a recent addition to your loyal followers. I want to let you know how much I appreciate your posts, they provide a real connection to my old home town, and it helps to see and read it through the eyes of someone not native to Utrecht (I’m guessing). Thank you , and please keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! It’s wonderful hearing that native Utrechters enjoy my blog and definitely an encouragement to keep going with it.
It’s lovely how the bare branches stand out against that pretty blue sky. I too hope that we’ll be able to enjoy more days like these this spring, fingers crossed!
With today’s weather — and the weather forecast for this weekend — I’m hoping that wasn’t our only spring weather!
Love photo 1!
Thanks! I love photographing that gentleman. 😉
