Hmmm. Or maybe it should be “urban jungle?”

Petra.1

We’re somewhere new, now, and these are the first of many Petra shots that I’ll start posting once I’m back to Amsterdam with time to sort and edit the tons of photos that’ll emerge from this weekend swing to a remarkable place :-).

City Views.29

This atmospheric and lovely sculpture, composed of blue glass beads from the Caribbean-Island Dutch territory of St Eustatius, is part of an exhibit entitled Sklavernij (in English, Slavery) at the Rijksmuseum. Many layers to such a lovely museum, initially constructed I would assume with a good contribution of the wealth that came from the trade in sugar, spices … and humans. About the blue glass beads, two different stories about them can be found here and here; the latter burying past pain, current racism and discrimination, and their meaning for all of us now; the former exploring the them more. The museum tells a story similar to the first link, fyi.

Remarkably, yes, this is well within the city limits of Amsterdam, just off the western edge of Westerpark, north and east of Sloterdijk Station.
