Slightly edited random shot of Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app. Some added contrast and saturation.
Yesterday was such a perfect, lovely day for me that I almost forgot that it was Friday the 13th, I took lots of wicked reflection pictures, got plenty of things done, talked to nice people, spend some quality time biking through the best city in the world, had delicious food and watched some really nice movies. Overall a very cool day that showed me some easy-going pleasures and convinced me once again that this special day does not need to be a bad one, I even bought a lotterly ticket, just to be on the safe side, because it felt like such a lovely day, wish me luck, I need the money, lol :D
Have a wicked weekend!
Dutch Flat, established around 1851 as a California Gold Rush mining camp high on the Bear River, was named after German brothers Joseph and Charles Dorbach, who set up a general store and way station. Unlike most of the Gold Rush era towns in the state, Dutch Flat had never suffered a devastating fire that wiped out most of its downtown (though the First Chinatown burned down in Sept 10, 1887 and in 1898 several public buildings burned down, both suspected to be from arson). Consequently the small downtown seen here has several buildings dating from the early 1850s.
As the first large town to the West of Emigrant Gap, Dutch Flat became the site of surveying expeditions by Theodore Judah of the Central Pacific Railroad for the final Transcontinental route. Enthusiastically pushed by locals, the route East was mapped to indeed pass by the town. Many Californians vocally opposed the "Great Dutch Flat Swindle", thinking the route was impassible and that the rail lines would stop at the town and force travelers to cross over the Sierras by company stagecoaches, but the First Transcontinental Railroad indeed came by, the construction work making Dutch Flat one of the largest cities in the state in the 1860s, with a population of 6000, 3500 Chinese. However as the railroads went further East, Dutch Flat began to decline in importance.

In the centre of the house there is an empty space with a skylight and all four facades have a large window.
The ground floor consists of a series of museumlike ordened spaces, offering varying views of the lake and the surroundings. The empty space unites spatially ground floor and top floor and the skylight allows daylight to enter both floors.
Constructed Area: 340 sqm.
A testimony to the legacy of the past and ignorance of presence. This Dutch Cemetery houses 76 odd tombs and mausoleums with beautiful letterforms carved on stone. Although protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), without any guards or maintenance the place is usually the venue for local card games and vandalism.

Natalia Makarova and Anatoli Nisnevich in 'Giselle' - 1966. The first Dutch National Ballet's production of Giselle featured Kirov guest artists Natalia Makarova (4 years prior to defection) and Anatoli Nisnevich. Miss Makarova's career hardly needs further elucidation, while Anatoli Nisnevich became a coach/teacher at his alma mater (Vaganova Choreographic Inst) after a modest performing career as a soloist. The performances of DNB were a Holland Festival production. Maria Koppers was Myrthe and Robert Fisher played Hilarion (Collection Margriet van Waveren).
