If this dike would break the water would reach to the ceiling of our ground level.

Sun at last
Yesterday afternoon in Downtown Almere. The palm trees make it look almost tropical but in reality it was 4° C.

What is happening here
One real window in this blind facade in Almere. Even the bricks are painted. One for Sami's Colourful World here. Could be that I have placed this one before but am not sure.

Street view
After passing the bridge on the header, you enter Amstelstraat. Here in the evening after a rainstorm. Always love how that sheen of water makes the city more beautiful.

Rotterdam skywatch
The chemical industry at the port. That certainly needs tinkering given the air pollution.. One for Skywatch Friday here.

Rembrandt
That they painted the statue of Rembrandt gold is already so-so to me but that name in front of it is more than life-size and that makes it completely a fair. Only good for a reflection when it rains. Here the promotion team of the municipality of Amsterdam has completely missed the mark in my eyes. One for Weekend Street/Reflections here.

Try to capture what I see
Yesterday evening on the way to the grocery store. Surely the atmosphere has come across quite nicely. What a difference from the old days when, as an amateur hobbyist, you didn't even get started on these photos. Tonight to the opening of a retrospective exhibition by Saul Leiter. Very much looking forward to it.

Disappeared
There is now a building in front of this mural of Herman Brood (singer and artist) on the left and Rembrandt on the right. Most murals have short lives anyway. One for Sami's Colourful World here.

Disappeared bike parking
That was in front of Central Station. Now replaced by a bike parking under water. (Header portion of the open harbor front whose right portion not visible in the photo features the bicycle parking garage underwater).

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.

Street photography
But there is also something about walking through the city in the pouring rain.
At least the flea market merchants held off.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
