Dec 20 – Beurs van Berlage

Today I had the very nice opportunity to photograph this wonderful building inside. Had to go there in a snow storm, but it was worth the effort.

A train almost ready for departure.

Jul 21 – Art in the park

Just took a little break in the park today. It was so hot!

Jun 19 – Rain and sun

Just a little experiment. Two photos combined (15 minutes between them). Made through a window and just guessing the angel (no tripod). Upper left: lots of rain, lower right: the sun came back.

Jun 18 – Between the rails

A quick “lunch walk” photo. Would be nice to see a train or two on this one. Not much time to make comments. Lots of young people (age 18/19) got a good exam results today (including my daughter), so it’s party time in the neighbourhood for some days here.

Jun 11 – On my way home

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. — Normally there’s a lot of traffic here, but I was late on my way home.

Jun 08 – Yellow

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.

Jun 06 – Tower and cinema

Just a quick snapshot of the “Munttoren” before going to “Startrek” in the cinema on the right.

Jun 05 – Church and taxes

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?

Jun 02 – Train

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).

Feb 23 – Reflection

A natural triptych. Reflection in three metal plates (don’t know what it is, art?), heavily corrected for perspective. Didn’t want to see myself today

Feb 20 – Amsterdam

Not really the classic view of Amsterdam, just some “a short walk after lunchtime” photos
