They are presented chronologically, starting with Friday evening, on my way home from work. During the afternoon, the first snow of the year started falling, and it happened so quickly that by the time the road maintenance people had realized it, the motorways were jammed and the salt trucks could not get through. As a result, it took me 5 1/2 hours to drive home (120 km). At least I could get out of the car at times in the middle of the A2 motorway and snap a picture, like this: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_47.jpg The next image is from Saturday night. We held Thanksgiving at our house, and our English friend Jeff brought an enormous turkey: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_47alt1.jpg (Yes, I know, wrong day, but Thursday was a normal working day here, so any Thanksgiving celebrations were moved to the weekend on this side of the pond.) Moving on to Sunday, after going to bed at 3 a.m. the previous evening, I had to get up fairly early to take my daughter to my office in Eindhoven, where we were having a Santa Claus (Sinterklaas) event for the employees' children. Since I am the manager of the place, I felt obliged to go, regardless of the hangover. But at least there were images to be had along the way, like here on the banks of the Waal river in Zaltbommel: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_47alt2.jpg http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_47alt3.jpg Once in the office, there were plenty of cute children to photograph. Here are two of them, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Sinterklaas: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_47alt4.jpg And finally, the daughter of one of the employees demonstrates the true meaning of the season: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_47alt5.jpg The complete PAW index is at: http://www.nathanfoto.com/indexpaw2005.html and comments, critique, and loose change are eagerly awaited...
