During the restoration 25 new angels statues had been created by sculptor Ton Mooy, including the one with a modern twist. The last angel in the series holds a mobile phone and also wears jeans. "The phone has just one button, says the artist. – It dials directly to God". The mobile-using angel had to be first approved by the cathedral's fathers, who rejected earlier designs with the jet engines on the angel's back.

Wandering around and enjoying the city I accidently found this little "tunnel". This is the entrance to one of many backyards. Shorty me could easily walk there, but I was wondering how, usually very tall, Dutch people walk there to get to their houses? ;-)
Look for the Achter Den Angel street and you won't miss it

IJzeren Man

In the summer if you care for swimming, rowing or waterbiking, about 10 kilometres from Den Bosch (direction Tilburg) there's a large recreational facility, between Vught and Cromvoirt.

High season: end of april until september 2003 open from 10.00 am until 6.30 pm
Low season: january until end of april open only sundays.

However in autumn or winter time you can have a long walk around 'de ijzeren man'.

Court

The west side of the Central Station is rapidly changing. Close to the historic city centre many new builldings are constructed. At the centre of this new area, called 'Paleiskwartier' is the Court Building. However the 'Paleiskwartier has become a very prestiguous area were the living is nice and the architecure is excpetional and prizes considerably high. Just go and have a look at this brand new area. Don't walk to the city centry, but go the other way for a look at the 'Paleiskwartier'

Main entrance Court

The Court now taken just in front of the main entrance and from another angle. A new building but it fits in alright with the rest of 'older''s-Hertogenbosch.
