Just a street scene.
The Haarlemmerdijk on a weekday after first sniffing the camera below.
but my pockets aren't that deep.

Mother's day
Been there for a week since Mother's Day and still doing well. (Header the Rokin seen from an unusual vantage point.)

Colourful
Of course the unsurpassed street museum where I had not been for a year and a half and in the meantime a lot of work has been renewed.
There was also a lot of work going on around the building.
Well and then the murals
Some colors knock you over in style
Others are stil in the making
But you really do need a human figure to somewhat grasp the scale of the works.

Continue next week. One for Sami's Colorful World here

Ferry trip
The day before yesterday, the weather was so nice that I thought a free trip on the ferry across the Y would be nice to revisit the new changes in the harbor area. The last photo was the final destination about which more tomorrow. ( Header the "Leidse Straat" and I never cease to marvel at where all these people come from anyway).

Unknown pennant
Our steeple does have a very curious pennant. The scaffolding cloth has been blown loose and is waving nicely. One for Skywatch Friday here.

Dressed for the occasion.
For example, once on vacation above the Arctic Circle, we visited a hotel constructed entirely of ice. Was still glad we didn't stay there. Also didn't know we had something like that in Amsterdam also.

On the sloping plane
Don't usually like sloping horizons but in this photo I thought it was a nice composition. Whats your idea.

Liberation
Yesterday we celebrated the liberation of WWII again in the Netherlands including the wreath laying at Dam Square and 2 minutes of silence throughout the country. That the liberation is not quite for everyone shows this picture I took last year 4 days after the wreath laying.

In the shopping street
Amsterdam did become very international. Don't know if I think that's such an improvement. Actually the opposite. One for James Weekend Street/Reflections here.

In the middle of a little field
Stood what earlier was called a black tulip. How it got there is a complete mystery to me since there was no other tulip anywhere in the area (no garden), but someone must have put the bulb in the ground. You don't see these that often.

Kings day
Today the whole of the Netherlands became one big car sale. Starting at 5 o'clock last night, people were allowed to take their stuff out on the streets, and many children also held dress rehearsals for today. (Hence this photo from last night). I'm about to get back into the swing of things but all the big cities have already urged people not to come because it's going to be suffocatingly busy. We will see.
Little update from this afternoon. You had to struggle through this.

Children's playground
Came across a fenced-in children's playground that had animal pictures all around, and not all of the sweet kind. Unfortunately, the lighting conditions were such that it was difficult to take good pictures of them. See e.g. the wall with only bats. In any case, still nice for Sami's Colourful World here.

Today
Surely it is getting very crowded and full in the city, here on the Groenburgwal.(Header our bakery in Almere)

Street photography troubles
Sometimes your picture fails completely because someone interferes or offends you. Well I posted it anyway as a random composition of chance. It happened yesterday and it was so crowded on the street that it looked like the inside of a big warehouse. All those tourist for Easter I guess.
