Photojournal

It is Friday! My presentation on Jenny went quite well. The weather is once again cold, but sunny. I actually brought my camera along with me to class, so I had some opportunities to take more pictures. They feature some of my favorite places in the city so far.

Enjoy!

The little street on which my favorite little bagel and coffee shop is situated.

This is the Martinitower, Groningen's most famous landmark (by which I mean the most referenced on postcards). Its at the corner of this beautiful little square. I'm not sure what the large poster of the classical statue is for. I think it's associated with this production of Tiresias that some group or other is performing.

Not sure what's in this building, but I liked the sunlight. Opposite corner of the square with the Martinitower.

Next to the Martinitower.

This is a beautiful little coffee shop in the same building as the Martinitower. I haven't gone here yet, because I fear the shop may be a bit too posh (or expensive!) but I'd like to. I probably will at some point.

Now THIS is a bell tower! The bell tower on the top of the Academiegebouw (Academy Building).

This is probably my favorite street in the city. Not only because of the delightful selection of quirky little shops, but also because the phases of the moon are set in brass or bronze or something into the pavement, as you see below.

It goes through all the phases of the moon down the street, with the full moon in the middle.

I haven't the slightest idea what sort of church this is.

But I love the fact that it has this strikingly modern tower attached to it!

Proof that spring WILL come! Eventually!

Finally, the light sculpture of a human being. I didn't bother taking a picture of it from the side, because from the side its just a bunch of loops of neon lights next to each other.
