Waste collection point

 

But it shows that there are several possibilities for chairs on wheels. Taken 5 minutes after yesterday's post a bit to quick.

On the dike

 It seemed like heaven had fallen to earth yesterday and today is not much different.

Street photography

 But there is also something about walking through the city in the pouring rain.

At least the flea market merchants held off.

And it continues to struggle

 With renovating those quays. Just about the entire downtown is upside down but yes it is necessary.

This barn too has now lost its function

 And I'm not sure it's still there. One for Sami's Colourful World here.

Past time

Without words today.

 

Text on the cargo bike “become a volunteer”.

Yesterday afternoon and it poured really terribly. The lady in the cargo bike may now have a different idea about it. One for Weekend Street/Reflections here.

No shortage of dramatic skies

 And let's face it. Surely they're much more interesting than an as-yet very clear blue sky. One for Skywatch Friday here.

Outside the box

 Just give me one more color.

Just the view

 Blue Bridge in Winter

The way of computers

 For years you lose photos and suddenly they pop up again. Remember I had taken this picture a few minutes after yesterday's. Yes was a fruitful evening in terms of photos then. This is de Waag on the New Market Amsterdam also to see on my posting of last old years eve.

From the archive

 11 December 6:05 P.M Damstraat

Did not expect to experience this again.

There was snow this morning but it is already starting to melt away nicely as the snow has turned to rain. (Header canal view Oudezijds Achterburgwal )

 

Saturday critters

 A deer with his herd of females in the Oostvaarders Plassen. A large nature reserve between Almere and Lelystad. Very limited access. One for Saturday Critters here.

In the polder

 One for Skywtch Friday here.

Bon appetite.

 You have to sit somewhere.

Start of the new year.

 For starters, we get to sweep our streets again after all that banging last night. Reminds me of something anyway.

Amsterdam canal view

 The Waag in the sunlight (archive). Must say that my old Epson Rd1 from 2005 with 6.1 megapixels and a summicron 35mm still delivers very nice pictures like this week's header. I hope it will continue to produce many nice pictures in the new year and that I and many others will enjoy the many blogposts that will appear on blogspot in the coming year.

Bieb and Sofietje

 Looking at each other for a while before the new year begins again. (Header Prinsengracht a few weeks back.)

Around the corner from Thursday's posting.

Beautiful Amsterdam Sky

 Ah yes, back when it was summer. One for Skywatch Friday here.

Floating Christmas Tree

 Last night a lovely Christmas dinner at our daughter's house in Weesp and afterwards went to see if they had the floating Christmas tree again this year and yes. It all looked beautiful again.

If only that goes well

 With all those candles burning today.

Energy shortage

While all the media emphasize the fact that we are short of energy and many businesses and newly built homes can no longer be connected to the electricity grid, many Almere residents are still lavishly lighting their facades these days. Wonder if that will ever change.

Can't miss

 Clearly visible even at night. One for Sami's Colourful World here.

The modern Tyrannosaurus

 From the archive. ( Header exit Y side Central Station Amsterdam.)

During the walk

 Donkeys in the dunes near Bergen aan Zee. One for Saturday Critters here.

Is again the time of lights and baubles.

Christmas Decoration.

 Thus, everyone decorates their homes for Christmas in their own way.

Yesterday evening

 

Slide projection on the Nemo Museum in honor of Amsterdam Illumination 2024.

Sofietje gets a visit from her neighbor

 

Murals in the making

 

You have to look very good to see that's a door. One for Sami's Colourful World here.

Christmas market in Almere

 

Now if the weather will also cooperate. (Header. In winter there are much more seagulls )

Our cozy shopping offerings

 One for James Weekend Street/Reflections here.

Around the corner

Te difficult way

 

To tell you that you are in Amsterdam Noord (North). One for Signs2 here.

His best friend

 If he were not married it would be standing in the living room right now. 

That once was

 The good fathers of Almere gathered in a relaxed atmosphere, very recognizable to residents. The building is popularly called the rust bucket. Meanwhile the mural's are fallen before the sledge hammer but the building still exist. One for Sami's Colourful World here.

From the archive

 Weesp may start getting ready for Christmas again. (Header that weather may disappear now anyway.)

Whoever still gets it may say so.

 Present of the Nederlandse Bank to Amsterdam for its 750 year of existence

I get the family time but not really the present. Perhaps to old now.

From the couch

 

It's quite windy. One for Skywatch Friday here.

Seen yesterday.

 What do we actually have no problems with. Now take this waste point only for paper. Oh, add the vacuum cleaner as well. We can't read anymore either.

20 Years ago

we were on vacation in Australia and saw this signpost in Sidney. Well that's quite a long trek home.
