autumn.sun.kralingse.plas

the weather is super perfect this week, the sky is so blue today that you wanted to go out to the nature. so you finally settling down with kralingse plas an oasis next to rotterdam - a big city. there is a lake, some nice restaurants/cafes by the water and a wood to meander and wander ...

the sky is clear, the sun is shining and the breeze is cool and crisp. you still feel very comfortable having your brunch alfresco way. the food is typically dutch but the weather is awesome, it is a joy to be able to sit out there to disconnect from the hectic of daily work life and be close to the nature...
trees are about to witter and leaves turn golden color, another season is about to come in full force. soon the trees will become bald but today many people still sailing away in the lake enjoying the autumn sun....

you took a walk to the other side of the lake towards a minang kabau house, it's a indonesian style architecture exists hand in hand alongside the dutch windmill, a good symbol of dutch colonization of the east in the golden era.

the minang kabau house has two restaurants and a cafe... it's busy as expected...

from here you have a good outlook of the skyline of rotterdam city.  not as amazing as the manhattan skyline from brooklyn bridge but still it's quite impressive.
instead walking at the lakeside, you wander into the wood, enjoy the intermittent of sun ray and different types of green...
you feel good and relax to be back to the nature, that's for sure, even for a short while...
you capture a very typical dutch scenery, and  from here you bid goodbye to the nature for it's about time to head to delft to join your bigger family for a sunday church celebration ^^.
