Posting a bunch of photos from an afternoon walk last month around my neighborhood on a cold Sunday afternoon. During my most recent walk past this new stork platform above, I didn’t yet seen indications of any nesting storks taking up residence, but I do think I’ve seen a few storks soaring through the sky already.
Final shots from last June’s short Rome visit: above, a bay on the west coast of Italy heading south, and below, over the alps then about to land in Amsterdam a few days later. If you’re viewing this on your phone, you might see how you like the “full view” now and then – that way, you’d see circles of smaller photos below and a larger photo above, instead of four square same-sized photos top to bottom. Just sayin’ :-).
Then I got home to Amsterdam two weekends ago and found more snow and ice than usual here, yet still those early daffodils poking up through the remaining snow and ice…QED on the whole ‘source o’ life’ idea, eh? And do, please, note the shopping cart stuck in the ice by my nearest train station, literally on my first walk home after landing early on the 11th…we all know lots of trash and bikes and even cars end up in the canals each year, but rarely do we get to see them suspended in the ice like this!
Two last 2025 A’dam sunrises, in November (left) and June (right). And once the sun moves farther north again, you’ll be able to start seeing how far along that construction across the street has come.
These’ll be the last “city lights” shots from A’dam for 2025, since I’m currently on another continent, photos of which will soon begin appearing in this space 🙂
