My colleague Sylvester celebrated his 10th anniversary with the company today. He bought face-cake!
While I was upstairs for some face-cake I took the opportunity to take a boat picture from my old room. I do kinda miss this view....
On my way home I took snapshots from the tram.
There are bits of orange in town.
For the european championships.
The Nieuwezijds voorburgwal is a very wide and busy street with lots of tourists and cheap hotels. It looks a bit scummy here and there but when you take a close look at some of the houses, you discover really nice old buildings sometimes.
This house is so easy to overlook, but it's a little gem!
This house was on the list of national monuments...
... until it burned down yesterday morning. Two people tragically died.
Decorated window on the side of the Magna Plaza building.
Pedestrians.
The tower of the Westerkerk through a dirty, stained tram window.
Cyclist.
Bird (I was actually aiming for the terrace behind her...)
Marnixstraat.
Flower kiosk.
Moped.
I went to my shed at the back and as I unlocked it I heard "Quack" above me. I looked up and saw this duck sitting on the edge of the house to my left. I started quacking back and took my camera. It flew away as i was taking the shot. Funny :-)

I think Dutch townhouses are better looking than English ones...
there was a doctumentary on the "tallest building in western Europe" (or all Europe; I can't remember) but anyway it's "The Shard" in London and I remember wondering why Europe is so lowrise, and why they insist on ruining our city skylines with scattered skyscrapers. Skyscrapers only look really good in places like Manhattan and Hong Kong where they're all towering up together... know what i mean.
Sorry can't remember what got me on to that subject %-/...
