13-09-05 Behind Amstel Station Amsterdam NL

The view on Amstel railway station you don't usually see: the back entrance next to Hogeschool van Amsterdam. I was waiting for my girlfriend coming from work. Funnily enough while I was taking the photos I missed her and she managed to pass me without us noticing each other – she had to pass me within 3 meters distance. But we found each other afterwards and I got my 5 minute photos as a bonus.
Here they are: 12 photos to go, in chronological order.

13-09-02 Amstelplein Amsterdam NL

Today I was helping a friend with her new washing machine. When getting home I thought of taking a small stroll. I ended up in the corner between three skyscrapers shooting plenty and plenty of photos of cyclists. Sadly most of them were off-focus or otherwise not good. The photos might appear a bit red, but the bicycle lanes are really red in the Netherlands.
Nevertheless I got some: 17 photos to go, in chronological order. 

Dutch bikers on their way home, it's like following a GP race

13-08-30 Amstelkanaal Amsterdam NL

Today's 5 minute photos were inspired by the small flowery bridge on Rijnstraat crossing the Amstelkanaal. I was visiting a shoemaker nearby and spotted the flowers few hundred meters away. So hop on the bicycle and on the bridge. Funny enough after all I didn't take any overview photo of the bridge itself.
Results: 14 photos, in chronological order.

One of many, many Amsterdammer channel boats

I never stop being amazed by the variety of vessels people dare to use

This is actually legit parking spot for the boats

Hairy flowers...

Much needed exercise for both of them

Miniature traffic jam, only the trams are missing. Few minutes later I spotted a police car towing a horse trailer, too bad I didn't have my camera ready anymore...

This actually is one-way cycling lane

A very small glimpse into the architecture known as "Amsterdamse school"

13-08-26 Berlagebrug Amsterdam NL

Second time for the 5 minute photos. Actually I was returning home from the grocery store, but the day was nice and the sun was shining. I decided to take a small stop for the project.
And here are the resulting 21 photos, in chronological order.

Next to the bridge there's a busy intersection
