It is quite clear

 Nice advertising gimmick from Holland's largest beer brewer. 

Paradise birds

 You can find them in every city and they really brighten up the streetscape.

Welcome

 The now demolished entrance to a home by noted mural artist Ottograph. One for Sami's Colourful World here.

This sunday morning

 we were surprised by a heavy downpour. (Header view from the terrace balcony of my former work over the west dock)

As some now see the world.

View

 From bookstore Scheltema on the Rokin, on the top floor you have a beautiful view of the city with the tower of the "Zuiderkerk" in the background. One for Skywatch Friday here.

A quick look at last Sunday's photographic exhibition

Grandpa teaches grandchild the intricacies of the ashai pentax up exposure meter

Sometimes you just adjust your clothing.

And some problems cannot be solved with an Emilie camera.

 

Dia de los Muertos

This Mexican celebration has seemingly made its way into some store windows as well judging by the window displays. One for Signs2 here

 

Ready to start occupying the garden.

 On our way to Prague, we passed an outlet of garden gnomes lined up in rows waiting for us tourists. This was in 2001 and only recently did this reappear on my screen. It seems that the Czech Republic is the country that is the court supplier for these gnomes in the world. 

Love is the cure

 What construction site fences aren't good for. One for Sami,s Colourful World here.

Was again today

 

With the difference that I was now behind a photography stall myself to sell some excess photographic equipment

This gentleman bought up almost all my nikon cameras for sale in one fell swoop. For Africa he said.

It was again a very nice atmosphere with many beautiful things.

Like this.

and already looking forward to next time although the visitors are decreasing and there are more and more gray heads walking around. (header Urk Harbor)

Back from summer recess

 These Flemish jays come off on the acorns that are all over the ground here now. In summer, you don't see them. One for Saturday Critters here.

Nice tight air

 One for Skywatch Friday here

Say cheese

 By the looks of it, these ladies have quite a bit to spend while standing in front of one of the city's most expensive department stores the Bijenkorf. The girl photographing them is equally equipped but use a mobile. Something I can't do but he just passing by.

The enamel emperor

 At the Albert Cuyp market, I came across this sign of the store nearby . Don't believe many of these shops still exist. One for Signs2 here.

Wanted culture optimists

Do they still exist?

 

Pleasantly surprised

 Thanks to construction, new murals are still appearing, such as here on the fence around the university's renovation in downtown Amsterdam. One for Sami's Colourful World here.

The lighted path

 Last night we could walk a route along a large lake (the Weerwater) in Almere where the route went right through the forest and where the edges were artfully lit. The people of Almere didn't let that be said twice and it was a hive of activity (Header the bridge over the Weerwater that connected Almere Filmwijk to the former floriade site and which was also part of the route).

Company outing ?

Sunset light

 The trees for our house in the autumn sun. One for Skywatch Friday here.

Each with his own thoughts.

 

Balconies

 

You don't see it until you look at them longer but they are all different. That's a thumbs up for the architect in my eyes.

Looking for a mural

 It is searching in amsterdam. One for Sami's Colourful World here.

You will live there

 and hope you don't get your feet wet. (Header trouble with export photo. Lucky for us the weather is okay now.)

Evening Mood

 One for James Weekend Street/Reflections from the archive.

After the rain

 On the way. One for Skywatch Friday here.

Piece of the "Oude Schans"

With the Nemo museum still on the left in the background. 

Selling high-quality shit.

 Saw the window of this art store and thought I shouldn't withhold it from my blog friends. Herewith.

Blown-in hibiscus

 Never planted myself but decided to add to it last month.

Rembrandt

 That's the nice thing about the city where Rembrandt lived. Rembrandt murals everywhere as here on the transformer house in Rembrandt Square and to my knowledge refreshed with other Rembrandts from time to time. One for Sami's Colourful World here.

Evening stroll

 Bieb with daughter and husband in Weesp . ( Header those city pigeons have to live somewhere too, why not a lock in Amsterdam).

All those Amsterdam people

 Exhibition about all those people in Amsterdam between 1970-1990 at the city archive on Vijzelstraat made by well-known photographers. The buildings across the street also briefly blend into the picture.

One for James Weekend Street/Reflections here.

Walk on the dike.

One for Skywatch Friday here.

 

Just a slice of street life.

 In the Vijzelstraat Amsterdam

Signs

The theory room of a driving school in Almere.

3D printed garden furniture

 Made from concrete but as only drawback no longer movable because of its weight but does nicely show the possibilities of this kind of technology. At least won't blow away anytime soon.

Muralist's exhibit their talent at the Almere Art Market.

 One for Sami's Colorful World here.

The end of the bicycle shed.

 

In front of the central station in amsterdam for some time there was this bike shed to curb the chaos of parked bikes at the station. (See the header). Now that finally the gigantic bicycle shed under the water surface is finished, it goes away. I don't know when yet, but this construction without a single bicycle looks very strange.

One takes a large pane of glass

Sunset from the couch

 One for Skywatch Friday here.

So they dare

An Amsterdam main shopping street. The text next to it in combination is also quite funny. Ah yes street photography can really be anything.

Social housing

 Went Sunday to see a project of passive houses for tenants in the Columbus area in Almere Poort. Have not yet found out who the architect of this project is but the developer AM is well known for its modern projects in all kinds of areas using the latest techniques in insulation and eco-friendly building.
