The Inntel Hotel in Zaandam/Netherlands is definitely the main attraction of the city but also of the whole country.
The twelve-storey-high hotel tower with 160 rooms is a stacking and interpretation of various green-painted house types typical of the Zaan region, ranging from a stately notary’s dwelling to worker’s cottages. ‘The Blue House’ has been inspired by the work Claude Monet painted at Zaandam in 1871.
Construction finished in 2010, design by WAM architecten.

Sunny summer day in the Dutch countryside with all it takes: the mill, the duck on river, cows and even bicycles.

Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.
This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.
The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.
In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.
While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.

Lisse is a quaint town situated in the Netherlands, and it is renowned for being the epicenter of the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens, where visitors can marvel at a spectacular array of vibrant tulips and other spring flowers. Located in the province of South Holland, Lisse is ideally positioned in the heart of the Dutch flower-growing region.
An epic morning at a fabulous place. An early rise but it was worth the effort. I came back with a big smile and a full card of magic.
Many thanks for your comments and favs, much appreciated
I met him in Rotterdam an we had a really nice conversation. He looked extraordinary and I ask for permission to shoot a portrait.
We should actually find something in others that we find good. Cause every person has something interesting, admirable, surprising to offer. Something worth getting to know. We just have to be ready to take a close look. 🎈
