Bathing in fading sunlight

Another instalment in this week’s series of urban skyline images. This one is a throwback to my trip to Amsterdam in September 2012.

Smile, the museum is open

One year and one day ago, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam re-opened to the public after extensive renovations. It was also the last full day of my visit to that city … so what better time to join with thousands of Amsterdammers and tourists to have a look.
If you’re into modern and contemporary art, and you happen to be in Amsterdam, this is the place for you.
The Stedelijk is located on the south end of the Museumplein. The museum is easy to find because it’s near to pretty much every other major museum in the city … and also because of the distinctive exterior of the museum expansion.
Admission is covered by the Amsterdam museum card (Museumkaart) if you have one. Otherwise, check out their website for current admission rates.

Cycle city

Not all stereotypes are true … but I’d argue this one is: The Dutch are a bike-loving people.

It’s good to have choices. 🙂
EDIT: Looking at this post again, it’s really FOUR methods of transportation: Cyclists are so ubiquitous in Amsterdam, I literally didn’t notice them in the top photo!

Line No. 7

Mobile home of sorts

Horse and buggy

Captured these images almost a year ago now.

Adventures with Tintin

Another throwback from my vacation in Amsterdam last year, a neat (and unintentional) juxtaposition captured on my first afternoon in town.

Making beer

Make that *pretending* to make beer. This is part of the exhibit at the Heineken Experience in Amsterdam. These props were used in some kind if claymation short film about this storied brand of booze.
