Photographer’s Note

Well, this is just a real "daily life" picture of today. Because of the European Football in Portugal, many, many houses and even streets are
coloured in orange.

This evening is the match Germany-Holland and the "architect" of this garden has already the result of 0-1, but I always say, the ball is round and may the strongest win !

For the rest, the maker of this garden has often themes, as a Christmas-garden, Easter-garden, Spring-garden, Halloween-garden and others...
He's always very busy with these expositions.

Ja Hans het is weer echt een gekkenhuis bij ons in Nederland. Helemaal gestoord, maar wel leuk. Leuk dat je me eraan herrinnerd.Uit een leuke hoek genomen.

Strange photo. This decoration is really a pure Art kitsch! I like your commentaries full of subtlety on this mad madman of soccer.

Now Dutch and Germans are back to back. Final score: 1 - 1 ;-)

Good topical idea Hans.

Hans, wij zijn opnieuw vertrokken, de gekte is weer overal aanwezig 16 mlj Nederlanders op stelten, wij Belgen zijn er wel niet bij maar dan kijken wij maar naar de beuren, uw foto geeft veel lijnen met mooie vlagjes, ik dacht eerst aan de Vlaamse Leeuw. Veel vaderlandsliefde. resultaat 1-1

Hoi Hans, Nice poicture of this ugly ornamentation, at least IMO. I am not a sportsfan, although I look at the matches once in a while. I knew this was coming, and for the hunt I wanted something else, but good photo, you rendered the atmosphere very well.
Thank you for your very enthousiastic comment on my door, felt honoured!

Very colourful and bright in mood picture, Hans! :-) Unusual arrangement of the garden, but I think that the owner has found a different and very creative way to brighten up the life of those around, by using the various fiests for themes. Very well seen and captured!
ps: thank you for dropping by to my older postings - I am really honoured! ;-)
