Vondelpark’s rose garden has been lovely this year. The duck was from a stroll through earlier in the year, that I just never got around to posting :-).
This particular plant truly lights up if I time my morning bike commute via Vondelpark so as to catch the moment when the rising sun first hits it, as I did on of the two days of shots you’re seeing here.
First inhabited stork-nesting platform I’d seen this season, biking home through Vondelpark a few weeks ago – above. Below, same platform seen from the other side, last weekend. And further down, since it’s spring flower season here, more from last weekend’s walk in Vondelpark for your viewing pleasure :-).
Concertgebouw’s “Mahler Pavilion” in Vondelpark (live streaming for anyone wanting to enjoy the music but hadn’t gotten tickets), past which I biked after the bittersweet enjoyment of the very last concert in this year’s Mahler Festival with Sam.
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.)
My farewell ode to Vondelpark (A’dam’s most famous and tourist-beloved park) and its open air theater, since I moved away from its immediate vicinity more than two months (!!) ago already, and am now taking my sunny-moment or end-of-work-from-home-day strolls in the lakeside Sloterpark further north and west.
