Market stalls like these are quite common in the Philippines. I spotted this one, selling fruit and vegetables, along the road in downtown Tacloban City.

Banana transport

I spotted this jeepney while travelling on the island Leyte, in the Visayas region of the Philippines. I wonder how they can stack so many bananas on the roof of their vehicle, and then not lose any!

Cross

Most visitors to Barcelona visit Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, maybe the old cathedral and possibly the Santa Maria del Pi. But there are many more churches in Barcelona. One of them is the Parroquia del Patriarca San Abraham, on the Jaume Vicens I Vives street. A detail of the white church building is pictured on today's photo.

Naarden was a fortified city, only accessible by two gates. One of those, known as the Utrechtse Poort (Utrecht Gate), survives. Today's photo shows a detail of this Utrecht Gate.

I took this photo on the corner of the Cattenhagestraat and the Pastoorstraat, in the Dutch fortified city Naarden.

The port of Naarden

This port in the Dutch town Naarden is known as the Nieuwe Haven, or new port - new only in comparison to the old port.

The white building on the left is the former arsenal of Naarden. It is now the studio of Dutch designer Jan des Bouvrie.

Comenius II

Yesterday I showed you a statue of Comenius, right in front of the main church of Naarden. On today's photo you can see another statue of Comenius, a bust this time, in a public garden behind the mausoleum where Comenius is buried.
