Yesterday we again hit the road with our visitor Kay. We went to the wonderful Kroller Muller Museum near Arnhem. It features a wonderful group of sculpture gardens plus a museum featuring the largest private collection of van Goghs in the world.

| The weather was dry but dull. We experienced torrential rain all morning before a fine, dry afternoon. |
 |
| Kay sharing something with Monsieur Jacques. |
 |
| The resemblance is astonishing! |
 |
| The Kroller Muller's hunting lodge (1914-1920). They didn't move in until 1937. Sadly light not great. The tower was exclusively for the mistress of the house, accessed by the first elevator in The Netherlands Staff couldn't use the lift. The house also featured a central vacuuming service - not bad for 1920. |
 |
| from beside the lake...beautiful building. The building's official name is Jachthuis Sint Hubertus. |
 |
| Georges Seurat |
 |
| I cheated - a copy of a photo, but the real thing looked fantastic. |
 |
| Another van Gogh copied picture - because I find my camera never does these justice, or too many people get in my way. Lovely! |
 |
| Someone else's picture of the hunting lodge on a sunny day. Compare the difference in light. You can understand why painters are fascinated by the influence of light on subjects. |
