Where do you stay in Amsterdam?
We always stay in the Hotel Estherea. I love it. The photo of the bar in this post is in the hotel.
Wonderful observations!! You have a good eye.
Thank you very much & cheers to you~
Love this, Cindy! That row of teapots really caught my eye, as did that enormous library. And that lovely young woman in pink and the pink-hued bar…gorgeous!!
The colors are striking aren’t they. So happy you enjoyed and have a wonderful week Debbie~
Great series! Oh the puppies statues made me smile!
Yes, me too. I kept having to stop myself from thinking, “Oh, let them out of the box….” Laughing~
What amazing colourful photographs. I loved those teapots
You are an amazing photographer so thank you very much for the kind words~
Thank you for such an interesting walk. I love the teapots!
Thank you for walking with me. The teapots are quite memorable, I agree!
Love bikes
Then you would love Amsterdam.
Great series of photos
So pleased you enjoyed~
Wonderful street photography, Cindy. You do have a great eye. 🙂
Kind & most appreciated! Thank you~
Really beautiful trip, as you had Cindy. Thanks for sharing your experiences 😀
Thank you more for coming along with me Irene! <3
Great photos.
Happy you enjoyed & cheers~
I love Amsterdam!!! And your photographs are a brilliant reminder of the beauty held within the streets, cafes, art galleries of this amazing city.
Like so many wonderful European cities, it is a browsers and photographers paradise, which explains why we both like it so. Be well Rebecca and as always, thank you my friend~
What a fabulous collection of images!
Alison
Thank you Alison. Where are you two now?
We’re just getting nicely settled in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. It’s day 6 today so we’re starting to find our way around. We’ve rented a little casa for 5 months.
Oh how wonderful! I can’t wait to see your photos. My daughter and I were just talking about San Miguel and all the wonderful, artistically done houses because her friend was just there and I have a book on the houses in the living room called Casa Bohemia. We were talking about revisiting The Colonial Cities. I hope you visit Queretero and stop for lunch or dinner at La Casa de La Marquesa. It will bowl you over with beauty.
You have an eye attuned to the unusual and photogenic Cindy. This is a great collection. I loved the cute pottery dogs, but I especially liked the pottery chooks behind them…
Speaking of a good eye Pauline???? I like them too! <3
Love those teapots!
Special, unusual and whimsical. I am sure I would like the collector!
Looks like one beautiful day. 🙂
The people who occupy Amsterdam make a charming place more interesting with their creative inputs, just like you do everyday! <3
Aw, thanks Cindy. Your photos can brighten anyone’s day! 🙂
What a trip, thanks for taking us too.
It is so much more fun with you along! <3
Bonitas fotos de Amsterdam!!!
Muchas gracias amiga mia y tiene una semana marviosa! <3
So true – if you open your eyes and really look, the world is a pretty marvelous place. Too many of us focus on what the evening news shows us rather than what’s available for us if we will just observe it.
Exactly! Turn off the evening news. It just makes you feel depressed and powerless. Make your own world and news, and you will feel happy and more powerful, and more able to take on our messed up world.
Delightful shots of life there! From the teapots and the newlyweds to the purple bar and library. Cheers to you Cindy!
Thank you for mentioning the purple bar Halim. I loved the brave use of exuberant color and it worked. It was a happy, fun environmnet. Wonderful to hear from you my friend and hope all is well with you~
I love the whole set!
Awwww, so glad! Thank you~
A wonderful set of keen observations, Cindy. Terrific!
Made my morning! Thank you Jane and hope your day is wonderful too~
I love these pictures! wow so different and all kinds of interesting things. The first picture is lovely!!
So happy you enjoyed & cheers to you Lynn!
Cheers 🙂

Is that the Rijksmuseum Library? Love Maria’s Bar too. I guess I haven’t seen it all!
Yes that is the Rijksmuseum library. Very perceptive John, but you are such!
Just a good Googler. I’ve been to AMS and the Rijks many times but I haven’t seen the library.
I have an affinity for old libraries full of antique books. I suspect this is a passion you share John~
“Pope Francis tear off those locks!”
Are you back there checking out that candy again, Cuz ??? Ha ! 🙂
I wish! I seriously miss the chocolate. Hope all is well with you cuz!
Wonderful photos!
So thoughtful and much appreciated! Cheers~
Oh, those lovely teapots and wooden shoes!!! 😀
They go well together don’t they, although they were in different places!
Yes, they do! 😀
:star:
What a magnificent teapot collection! And that library!!
It is a fascinating city to explore. So pleased you enjoyed & cheers to you~
You captured the wonderful beginning moments of a blossoming love…
immortalizing the memorable occasion! Its a picture that births joy and smiles!
Oh course you would feel, see and describe this so perfectly Wendell. Thank you~
I love the bike photo, bikes around the world 😊
I also loved the rainbow chairs and pink chandeliers.
I must stop and take more photographs of the everyday your collections are so fabulous and here for you to see whenever you want to reflect.
So thoughtful of you Charlotte. Amsterdam has some huge number of bikes, something over 60% of the population rides a bike daily, over 800,000 people. Switzerland and much of Europe is this way as you probably know better than I. Very impressive both for health, and for air quality. Happy weekend Charlotte and thanks for stopping by~
Ah, Amsterdam is one of my favorite places. So many lovely memories and what a gorgeous couple.
Thank you and we share this love of Amsterdam Kerry!
Have you stayed in the SAS hotel where each room is on two levels designed like a narrow house – so exciting and cute!
No, but I am going to google it now. Thanks for the heads up!
Such a beautiful place!
It is and so much fun to explore on foot. Happy Sunday Linda! <3
Matching bowtie and gown.
I entirely missed that! Excellent perception. I especially love it when someone sees something in a photo I took that I didn’t. Thank you for telling me!
Lovely pictures of Amsterdam. I guess you didn’t mean too, but you’ve captured a familiar sight of Amsterdam in two of your photos: the bikes 🙂
I did mean too!!! Very perceptive. 60% of Amersterdam’s residents bicycle daily, there are 800,000 or so bicycles in Amsterdam! 😀
I spy a BULLDOG! 🐶😊
He wants you to bring him home! 😀
I probably would have too.
I saw a bulldog chotchkie at a thrift store a few years back & just had to get it. I love it! I have it sitting on a shelf in the family room.
My son in law is like you with basset hounds! I gave him basset hound socks for Christmas~
Absolute love the wooden shoes!
I did too! Thank you!
