Normally there’s a lot of traffic here, but I was late on my way home. There’s the road, the railroad (no train), a man on a bicycle, some traffic waiting for the tunnel and a large cruise ship on the channel. The ship past the ferry before I was there (+/- 2.5 km) There seems to be an enormous amount of lampposts here. Never noticed that before.
On my way to work. Almost the beginning of the city. There used to be grass and trees here to hide the highway, now there is just sand and yellow flowers, in the future there will be buildings, I suppose.
Main problem with a photo a day is that you don’t have always the time for it. Today was such a day, so here’s just a peony in my garden with as background a raspberry plant. The hidden spider is just a nice addition.
Just like this view near my work. The church is from 1450, the tax office building is a lot newer, but I’m wondering: what would be older: taxes or churches?
Problem for today. European election day, but couldn’t find much of it on the street (although politicians always claims otherwise). Dalai lama was in Amsterdam (wonderful man, my family was there, I had to work), so for today just a ferry shot (always need the ferry from home to work and vice versa): a cruise ship (not a very big one) on the channel. It’s always a wonderful view to see these big ships passing. Sorry I couldn’t provide better weather here.
Home in Zaandam, work in Amsterdam. So most of my photos this month will be made in one of the two cities. And most of the time there’s a train going between the two (but I’m normally using my bike).
Some yellow flowers with as background a B&W photo I just printed. Bad experience after this photo. Tripod fall down. Camera still working!! Remote transmission for flash light missing some parts, but (with help of some tape) still working.
Couldn’t find an English name for this one. We call it “duinviooltje”, literally translated “dune violet”. Grows in the dunes near the sea. They looked so lovely with the dew in the early morning sunlight.

Made a lot a photos of this (unknown) flower lately, but there was always another one I preferred. All my photos today aren’t as sharp as I would like, but I liked the raindrops here.
