A river running through Amsterdam's red-light district.
A crowded Amsterdam street at night.
A panorama of streets in Amsterdam at night.I went to Amsterdam with Will, AJ and Matt this weekend. It was good fun, except that the traffic makes no sense there. What looks like a sidewalk could very well be an extension of the road, or a bike path, and pedestrians never have the right of way. And bikes were everywhere, which makes sense given the approximate €13 price of gasoline in the area. A very lively city, especially at night.
Then we went to Zaanse Schans, which was out in the country, and walked by some of Holland's oldest windmills by the River Zaan.
A family rides their bicycles on a path in Zaanse Schans behind the windmills.
This windmill, called De Kat was used as a dye mill. According to the Zaans Molenmuseum, this is probably the last wind-powered dye mill in the world.
Windmills line the Zaan River.
these are some nice shots. i'm glad you joined the panorama club. hope you didn't get too high... or pay too much for, well, you know...
ReplyDeleteOk, Brad, as your mother I want to know what you were doing in the Red Light District!!!
ReplyDeleteI noticed in one of the photos above that some of the signs were in English. What's with that?
ReplyDeleteIn the first windmill photo, what happened to the leftmost windmill? It looks like it lost its spokes, or whatever they are called. Or perhaps that's not a windmill?
ReplyDeleteBrad! Look at what you've been up to! Wow, these photographs are really breath taking. I hope you are enjoying Europe!
