I will take a break from posting Iceland pictures while I go out today exploring in the wiles of geysers and earth-turned-inside-out to bring you this shot from Amsterdam.

Will got very tired of carrying my tripod, and he claimed to be tired after standing all day at the game conference. I told him just to be quiet because he was in the house of God and God didn’t want to hear his blasphemous belly-aching.

This shot below looks great, with amazing details, in this large on black version.

Here is a church that was near the hotel I stayed in Amsterdam. They were having some sort of fashion show inside, of all things, but the stained glass was more interesting.

I’m headed back to Amsterdam soon because of the games conference, and I found this unposted shot in my library.

Here is a new picture of Eva in Amsterdam. This one came out pretty well. I also posted an older one of her and June from Kenya. Note that the blonde is not the one from Kenya.

I grabbed this just before sunset in the Netherlands. I like the blues in the homes on the nearside.

Holland at sunset…

It’s been a while since I posted some pictures of Holland, so here is a cool church and um… some cool squnched up old building.

Here is Saint Bevo in Haarlem. I’m not super happy with this picture because it doesn’t look as enormous as it really is. Below, I put a picture of the inside, with which I am happy.

Johannes van Dam is currently living out his dream, performing famously in his role as the number one restaurant reviewer in Amsterdam. He works for the newspaper “Het Parool” and is currently spending his Sunday morning at a his local coffee shop reading his own review in the newspaper, smiling ruefully.

He is happy to talk to me and motions out at the rainy street. “This was a canal about 30 years ago,” he nods, looking over his glasses. “Then we build road because we not need that canal anymore.”

He shakes the newspaper and backhand slaps his review in a gesture of disbelief. He utters some Dutch explicative while laughing, and then stabs at his column with his finger. “This is a good review my friend!”

This was taken in the countryside of Holland when I got off the train and walked over to a rather pastoral area that looked like it was frozen in time.

This was taken around midnight in the middle of the red light district of Amsterdam. You can see one of those eerie pink windows off to the left. For this one, I recommend you click on this Large on Black version.

I took this on a quiet evening outside of Haarlem in the Dutch countryside. If I had taken it faster, you could have seen a few Hobbits fiddling in the garden.

I caputred this one across the water of some Dutch houses just after the sun went down.

Here is a mustard-coated Dutch Biker navigating the narrow streets of Amsterdam.

And these are some cool little houses I found all in a row in another part of the city:

This is the interior of a cool church in Holland.

Here is a very unusual shot I got of the train station in Amsterdam with this cool advertisement out front. At least, I think it is an advertisement.
