Point 1: I realized to my chagrin that I skipped this series in the last number cycle, so we’re catching up; Point 2: The oldest canals have been collapsing bit by bit, so the city of A’dam has a massive multi-year budget to slowly shore them up, since the center city’s canals and streets are so old that they were never built for the sheer volume of tourists, buses, cars, etc that load the roads alongside them now – this being an example of the repairs on one canal in the heart of the old city.
Runners passing what I think of as the “front entrance” to Vondelpark on marathon Sunday this year. (Front b/c it’s closer to the city center than the entrance near my old place, at the opposite end of the park near my old place.)
So I took all the photos in this post on one early-October stroll around my neighboring park at the end of a desk-heavy work-from-home day. Not long after I’d realized I could start splurging my “city lights” photos because I was entering the season where Urban Garden entries would be harder to find than City Lights ones would. 🙂
Recent strolls in the neighborhood have given me cause to revive this long-neglected, first-ever series. The taller, square building in the top right corner of the photo, to the left of the sign saying it’s not an official beach and swim at your own risk, is home for now.
