I was just doing my regular groceries, when I found the tree with a bench built around it. In a bit funny spot along the Rijnstraat in Southern Amsterdam. Why not to stop and take few traffic shots!
So I endured the staring people from by-passers, cafe customers and car drivers, and let my camera sing again. By the way, the buildings seen here represent the typical
Amsterdamse school, a pre-war architecture style.
And the outcome: 13 photos to go, in chronological order.
 |
| First view: Amsterdamse school buildings, cars, bikes and a P-sign without any parking spots. |
 |
| Construction worker having a break; smoking a cigarette and playing with the smartphone. |
 |
| No two Amsterdamse school buildings are the same, even when they might appear so. This one has been spiced up with the GSM antenna. |
 |
| Amsterdam is not Amsterdam without the bikes. |
 |
| Some of the kids sport the trendy cruiser bikes - spiced up with a typical Dutch front rack. |
 |
| Dutchies can sometimes be a bit creative with their driving routes and bending the rules. |
 |
| It's not raining, so it's a proper weather to sit out on a terrace. |
 |
| It would have been a nice photo if the single mother actually was driving that truck with her kids :D |
 |
| Snorscooters are allowed on bicycle paths. In theory they aren't supposed to go faster than 25 km/h - a rule very often bended. |
 |
| This little branch mistook the autumn for a spring. |
 |
| The pentagon seat around the tree I mentioned earlier. |
 |
| One can only wonder how come more people don't get hurt in the traffic. This is nothing unusual and not even a close call - just normal road crossing. |
 |
| As a last image, the pentagon bench work-around (pun intended). |
