this excursion was a quicky. the friesmuseum tour was rather frisky! it's as though i did not see any art on this trip. as always, the canals were gorgeous. i couldn't sense the difference between fries and dutch as well as i'd hoped to. i especially liked the leaning church tower from the citywalk, perhaps because they made a banana out of it, trying to straighten it up. the good ol'e friesian cow and horse! photo op! *sighs* everything is starting to look the same to me. the churches, the clock towers, the streets, and the statues... i want something to strike me again!
reconstruction seems to be a norm in this country. your history is a pride and a problem. the older the structure the weaker the walls/towers. its amazing how well preserved so many of these old buildings are.
the treinstation "city scape" is invisible to my eyes. i could not see it and i am an art major. this makes me feel really pathetic.
as for the little sculptures up top the buildings neighboring the friesmuseum, it reminds me of home. in zeeland, michigan, we have a bird standing up top one of the buildings--im not certain as to the purpose of this bird, but it is much like the goat, the bird, the lions, etc. that stand in the city of leeuwarden.
