Last Sunday we went to a park/museum called Kröller-Müller, near Arnhem. It was founded by a wealthy German-Dutch Rotterdam family around 100 years ago and contains a large collection of Impressionist and other art. But the most interesting part is not the museum but the surrounding park, which is huge by Dutch standards and which contains lots of interesting sculptures. As has been the case all summer so far, the weather had a decidedly autumnal feel to it, but that is not so bad for taking pictures.

The last three alternates are close-ups shot around my neighbourhood while walking the dog. I was experimenting with my Leica 100mm macro lens on my new Olympus E410 DSLR. It worked reasonably well; any softness is due less to the difficulty of focusing the lens and more to the dog tugging at the leash.
