North Holland & Amsterdam

From the Air.103

During my lovely bike holiday in Gelderland last year, I showed you many parts of this photo from ground level. I took this photo during a December flight from Amsterdam to Doha (en route to Bangladesh, for the trip from which you’re still seeing Longest Beach photos, fyi), when I noticed the clouds had cleared enough to show me: from the left to center, the first branches of the Rhine after it enters NL (further explanations in last year’s post), and at the bottom some of the hilly landscapes of the Veluwe Zoom national park, of which we showed many posts including this one, last year. In the gallery below is a zoomed-in view that shows a bit more detail of the hilly park landscapes. Rest of the photos are all from the NL and DE parts of that flight.

Yesterday evening, biking home from the office via Vondelpark. Even on hot days, there are reasons to stop and enjoy the views 🙂

Setting sun as I biked home, and a new playground about to open, both in Vondelpark a earlier this month.
