Love to...Leena,<BR/>Thanks for your visits and comments. Love to read that Google reader works!<BR/>In some museums you’re allowed to take pictures, provided that you don’t use a flash! In others you pay to photograph, and in the rest, you’re naughty… ;)<BR/><BR/>Analía,<BR/>Thanks for the visit, the comment and the compliment!<BR/>You’re always welcome to move to Lisbon, but taking into account my own skills, I’m not sure it improves much.., Actually, that «also» you wrote referring to my pictures may be a bit excessive… ;)<BR/><BR/>Lyliane,<BR/>Moi aussi j’aime bien les peintures flamandes et c’est vrai qu’il y en a à Madère. Mais à Anvers c’est différent: super!<BR/>Delft, j’ai visité dans un autre voyage, en 1988. Je ferais un post `propos sur Blogtrotter 70s & 80s, si jamais 1988 arrive sur ce blog… (encore en 1985, en Irlande, pour le moment) ;))<BR/><BR/><BR/>Norman,<BR/>Great that you liked the self-portrait! ;))<BR/>It’s true that I’ve been in the Philippines, but have to go back…<BR/><BR/>Ash,<BR/>I also adore Vermeer, and thus took pictures of all his paintings at the Rijksmuseum. The problem is that they are all blurred; even worse than the self-portrait… ;))<BR/><BR/>Lara,<BR/>Thanks for the visit and comment. I’m enjoying your Austrian series. As to museums, see the reply to Leena!<BR/><BR/>Celine,<BR/>Thanks. Have a great holiday season also, and enjoy your travelling! Look forward to seeing the pictures you’ll take…<BR/><BR/>Cergie,<BR/>Merci pour la visite et le commentaire. L’avantage des blogs est qu’on est toujours en train d’apprendre! Tu sais que l’expression (que ne m’était pas trop familière) «tirer son épingle du jeu» date du 16ème siècle? Et on n’est pas sûr quel était le jeu! Et, en plus, il y avait aussi une connotation érotique… Tout ça j’ai appris aujourd’hui à cause de ton commentaire. Merci, encore une fois!<BR/><BR/>Moi,<BR/>Honeymoon not long back... I’ve some pictures from Portugal, Switzerland and Austria in 1975 at the Blogtrotter 70s & 80s; is that long back? ;))<BR/>The Rijks was not closed; there was a back entrance at the Jan Luijkenstraat, with the exhibition of The Masterpieces from the Rijksmuseum (around 400) at the Philips wing!<BR/><BR/>Tinsie,<BR/>You’re not that far from Amsterdam; and with the Eurostar+Thalys combination, it’s an easy ride!<BR/><BR/>Joy,<BR/>Great choice!<BR/><BR/>Annie,<BR/>That was somehow what I was doing up to five years ago. Now, I’m almost stuck!<BR/><BR/>B.C.,<BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Nikon,<BR/>Thanks. Was Hemingway in Amsterdam?<BR/><BR/>Pijush,<BR/>Thanks. Glad to know that you also travelled to Amsterdam and liked the city!<BR/><BR/>Nihal,<BR/>Thanks for your always interesting comment!<BR/>I’m glad that you enjoyed my Amsterdam cultural stroll. I like Rembrandt, but must confess that Vermeer is my favourite from the Dutch Golden Age painters…<BR/>Energy saving, I agree. But candles in the streets, I’m not so sure…<BR/>I can’t guess the result of Portugal vs. Turkey on Euro 2008; furthermore because usually there is no logic in the game… ;)<BR/><BR/>Catherine,<BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>JoAnn,<BR/>The Rijks is under renovation until 2010; the Stedelijk is also under renovation, and will hopefully be back to business at Museum Square by 2009. Meanwhile, you may see temporary exhibitions at the Stedelijk C.S. And up to January 13, 2008, there is one of Andy Wharol: Other Voices, Other Rooms! No photos allowed! Lol…<BR/><BR/>Chris,<BR/>One day and a half is a bit short…<BR/>I like in particular the US pictures from the 1980s…<BR/>Neruda label refers to La Chascona and Isla Negra houses…<BR/><BR/>Isadora,<BR/>Thanks. The Willet-Holthuysen is an amazing surprise!<BR/>Museum photos? See the reply to Leena!<BR/><BR/>Lynette,<BR/>Van Gogh is at the top and the museum is absolutely stunning!<BR/>Loved to see that gull…<BR/><BR/>Jules,<BR/>Thanks! I’m always impressed to visit your blog: The closest I’ve been to Papua New Guinea was in the Fiji Islands. May be one day I’ll land at Port Moresby… ;)<BR/><BR/>Dick,<BR/>We have an expression in Portuguese: «santos da casa não fazem milagres»; it means that one neither pays much attention nor gives full consideration to what is just around the corner…<BR/>It’s true that I travelled a lot for professional reasons, but also profited every holiday to take a break abroad…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-88251501327826712792007-12-09T16:45:00.000+00:002007-12-09T16:45:00.000+00:00Nice post, I have been in Amsterdam many times but...Nice post, I have been in Amsterdam many times but now I see museums I didn't see before they show up in your post.

It's fun to see how they looked when you took them. I've also enjoyed seeing them through another's eyes!<BR/><BR/>I just saw that you have two posts about Neruda. .. .I have to check those out.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03668974472490049992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-49662665440352433232007-12-08T00:05:00.000+00:002007-12-08T00:05:00.000+00:00oooops sorry, I made a mistake here (in my last co...oooops sorry, I made a mistake here (in my last comment) I saw that you noticed that perhaps too, or i.o.w.

Because his canvases exude feelings and thoughts. It's most evident in his portraits and self-portraits, which show us a great psychological depth. Even though he painted very few landscapes he's best known as a painter of historical and biblical scenes plus a portrait painter which I'm always impressed!!! Of course, the Rijksmuseum has one of the world’s most important collections of Rembrandt’s paintings. Thanks a lot for your article about beautiful Ams'dam, helped me to refresh my travels memories to NL:) <BR/><BR/>W/regards the X-mas city lights, your Lisbon City Hall just doing very well! As for the planet, energy saving and reduce electricity are essential for a more green world you know, and I'm very much appreciative about your Hall procedure! Just an idea: why not using candles as they're very romantic and dim light so nice:)<BR/><BR/>Yeap, Turkey's rendez-vous vs Portugal for Euro2008 next summer, and I'm definitely keeping my fingers and toes crossed for the match;) Can you make any guess for the result -it's too early but? A little reminder: remaining time for the matchday is only 182 days/19 hrs/16 mins/37 secs from today, Woooohoooo!!! <BR/><BR/>Have a restful nice weekend:)Nihalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921200854794301981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-91665392863836045442007-12-07T15:34:00.000+00:002007-12-07T15:34:00.000+00:00Waoww..
