My dear readers,

Although I don’t teach English any more as I retired a few years back, I’m still learning languages in the Netherlands. Teaching is basically about learning – from our notions of what we can do to help our students to learn to the notions of other people concerning how teachers are notoriously assessed based on what their learners have achieved – and learning is basically about teaching – at least that’s what bad students think: they blame the teacher so I need not change much about the title in these respects.

Besides, all the space on my three related WordPress photo websites has run out and, to be honest, I find it a drag to set up yet another one when there’s still loads of space on this one, consequently, I’ve decided to temper with the name of this site a bit and add some of my latest photos here. If you liked my posts on my other sites, I can promise you’ll like these as well.

Part of the reason is also that I’m convinced that referring only to English is rather limited and limiting. I’ve realised having wasted decades of my life by exclusively sticking to it whereas for people living in large parts of Europe and Asia, other languages are at least equally important for everyday life, not to mention Latin-America, where it is far from being the most important language. As a result of my new-found passion in languages, I’d like to encourage my open-minded readers to learn other languages by showing you the beauty, like above, of sceneries and historic relics of where I happen to pass on my occasional journeys.

That said, I’d like to whip up your interest at my soon-to-come next posts, which will be about the north of Niederösterreich, more specifically, the region of the river Thaya, seen above and here below, from above, looking down from Burgruine Kollmitz:

Hope you’ll like what is coming soon. Otherwise, if you haven’t read my age-old, earlier posts on this site, you may still find something worth reading. Enjoy!
