AMSTERDAM THE NETHERLANDS – I’m taking a lot of images and I’m having trouble editing. I’ve posted what amounts to a mini-gallery here. Hopefully in a week or two with the benefit of some perspective I’ll be able to edit this post down a bit.
Day 1,628 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 898): Diana.
AMSTERDAM THE NETHERLANDS – Day two in Amsterdam. We spent the morning back at the Rijksmuseum and thence to a park and back to our hotel on the Herrengracht.
Day 1,627 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 166): Grand Central.
AMSTERDAM THE NETHERLANDS – We’ve met up with ten friends from all over Europe who share a common bond: the are (or are married to someone who is) celebrating a major birthday right about now. With a lot of help from Maria we’ve organized ourselves to come here for three of four days to visit the Rijksmuseum , which has been closed for eleven years for renovations, and generally to have fun. Obama was here last week; thank God we weren’t because security rendered this city immobile; his photograph speaking in front of The Night Watch, the most prominent picture in the Rijsmuseum’s collection, was widely published in the US.
Anyway, enough idle chit-chat. The new surroundings have energized me so I’m suffering a bit from shutterrhea. The landscape images today are from the first few hours after my arrival, in the lovely light that inspired Vermeer. The final two images are of our group of friends in the library of the Rijsmuseum.
Day 1,626 of one photo a day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 896): Dinner at the Four Seasons Restaurant, Mies van der Rohe and Phillip Johnson’s iconic masterpiece.
AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS – Yikes! Another travel day. Here we are in Lounge 3 in Amsterdam which given the length of our layover is beginning to feel like a destination. Shot with my Panasonic GH2 – giving the Alpa a rest. It least it’s edgy.
On this day one year ago: Trancos, Bahia.
