Welcome to week 181 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge! Due to some family circumstances, I haven’t completed last week’s round up yet, but will later tonight.

From all the groceries that I saw flying by on my screen over the past week, I know that I have a lot to look forward to! As that had me in a Dutch mood, I thought that it might be interesting to scour my photos from the frequent travels to the Netherlands for some more material. As a result, I thought that Tourism might be an apt theme for this week! From all the travel images that I’ve seen over the years from lots of my loyal contributors, I’m sure there might be a wealth of opportunity here!

So share some of your favorite spots from among your travels and tell us a bit about why you enjoyed it! Can’t wait to see the avalanche of material!!

From my tourism collection, I thought I’d give you two views of one building…

The Rotterdam Library in real life…
The Rotterdam Library in Madurodam…

These images come from a single trip and were taken 2 days apart. In the top image, you get to see Central Library in Rotterdam in its full glory bathed in warm Winter light; it’s an interesting building and the inscription at the top reads ‘Heel de aarde is je vaderland’: ‘the entire earth is your home country’, attributed to Erasmus. The lower image shows you the model of this library in Madurodam, which is a wonderful exhibit in The Hague, featuring models of a variety of noteworthy buildings from across the entire country of the Netherlands. The exhibit is updated as new buildings come into prominence, but, of course, many of the old favorites will always be there!

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

Let’s see what your traveling has produced!!

    My choice for tourism is the ceiling of the botanical building in Balboa Park, San Diego, since San Diego it the 4th vacation city in the USA. Always people there!

    1. I grew up in the Netherlands in and around Rotterdam; then I decided to go to university in the USA…and stayed. I still get to visit the Netherlands every year to visit family.

      Love your view of San Diego!

      1. Thanks for clearing up my confusion:)
        My/our reason living here, was the same reason – I wanted a broader view of psychology, so after one year at the VU, we went to Los Angeles. Am still here because my two daughters have married here, and there are 7 grandkids I like to see grow up. Wish I could afford to visit family every year, but since we are retired, our income has drastically reduced, Not complaining, but this is how it is:)

  38. I climbed a mountain, and this will probably not surprise you, also took a photo: https://wp.me/p2owKx-1hE
    I’m not sure what to think of that library building, to be honest, I’m wondering what it looks like inside?
    Cheers, Amy

    1. Love this post, Amy! I might start experimenting with Luminar, when they provide support for the Canon EOS R native files. Hoping that’s soon!

      1. Yes, hopefully they will add that. Personally, I am waiting for them to also add tagging capability, a feature they promised but have yet to deliver. As an editing software though, I really like it.
