Jam session to Pllek
Pllek is open-minded, free, connected, surprising, warm and creative, focusing on a conscious life and sustainability. It’s a creative hotspot on the banks of the IJ in Amsterdam North. The Conscious life goes beyond a healthy lifestyle and responsible footprint. Experience the magical island feeling in the middle of Amsterdam. This post-industrial spot with a beach-like atmosphere offers one of the best panoramic views of the IJ River.
Pllek has a temporary lease for 10 years. On the 30th April 2017 Pllek existed for 5 years. So, enough reasons for a mid-life celebration. Resulting in two days of live music, lots of djs, crazy popups acts, children's programs and special exhibitions. One of those popups acts was on the ferry to the NDSM Wharf. Two guys performed phenomenal jam session.
To get to Pllek, take the free ferry from Centraal Station to NDSM Wharf (about 20 minutes) and follow the signs for the 5 minute walk to Pllek.
Technical stuff
This is a handheld photo with a fish-eye lens; Sigma FX 15mm . I took it well above my head to capture the small and ‘close harmony’ atmosphere on the ferry. Of course a fish-eye lens (15mm) can produce in such situations a lot of distortion. But in this case curvatures in the horizon, buildings, etc. fitted the curved structures on the left and righthand side of the ferry.
