three times three times four



the "negen straatjes" neighbourhood in amsterdam (actually rather misleadingly named, since it is not nine little streets at all, but three slightly-less-little streets that capriciously change their names each time they cross a canal)



is a few square blocks of paradise for people who like to shop,



people who like to eat, people who like to linger at waterside cafés,



people who like to take pictures, people who like people, and people who like all of the above.
like me.

  3. Actually, I think your entire country is a paradise for people who like to take pictures! Great shots, as usual. Wish I were sailing on the IJsselmeer again this summer...

  5. Fantastic as usual... I especially have a love of that first photo of the buildings framing the cloudy blue sky.. wide angle?
    Also, I love those layers of chipping paint in the last. There's a sad beauty to items and things that have been disregarded and ignored.
