One friend calls this "The Louvre of the Internet." Others think I'm subversive. Most art is like that.

Rijks
I have a friend in the L.A. area who is a rocket scientist--literally. I guess he was in Amsterdam at a conference last week, because he sent along this postcard of In the Month of July by Paul Joseph Constantin Gabriel at the Rijksmuseum.
A beautiful card. When I went to England we flew over Greenland. All I could see was brown, snow, and a lone windmill in the middle of nowhere. To this day, that is what I think of when I see a windmill.
The only windmills I've ever seen up close are in Golden Gate Park and Solvang, California. Not the same, I'm sure, as seeing them in their "nature" settings.
