Weihnachtsmarkt in Aachen, last sunday. Every town in Germany has its own Christmas market. Stalls with candles, woodwork, hot wine and bratwurst.
The best x-mas wishes to all of you!

Mescherbergloop, a 15km run through fields, forest and steep hills (no, not all of the Netherlands is flat). This is the steep forest stair counting 185 steps. I never said running is an elegant sport. http://renefijten.blogspot.com/

Kiev, Ukraine, Rizdvo church (which means Christmas church) on Poshtova square, near the riverbank of the Dniepr. I drew this from the meeting room at the 4th floor of my hotel. http://renefijten.blogspot.com/

Berneau, near Liege, Belgium. An abandoned house. Used fountainpen and waterbrush.

Patersweg after the rain. My street in front of my house at december 1st, 7.38am. It’s the same view as in an earlier post: http://www.skineart.com/art/4700/patersweg-hoensbroek-the-street-i-live/

Sinterklaas. In the Netherlands children get their presents on St. Nicholas anniversary, December 5th. Some children decorated their window with Sinterklazen in Merkelbeek, Limburg. More on http://www.urbansketchers.com/

Kasteel Amstenrade, Netherlands. The castle is located a few hundred meters from my house. It’s still occupied by a countess. http://renefijten.blogspot.com/

My hotel in Tarbes again. If you don’t have time to go out and sketch, you can always stay in your room and draw the fully glassed bathroom. http://renefijten.blogspot.com/

Patersweg, Hoensbroek. The street I live in, on a rainy evening, with my glasses off.
