Unedited water reflection in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
The rainy season is upon us and while most people in this lovely little country moan about the daily downpour, I am secretly happy and often smiling to myself when nobody is looking, because as much as I appreciate a sunny day, for my wicked reflections I do need some of that wet gold as well that nature so freely distributes. The next time you get upset because it's raining, think about this wicked Reflectah being able to shoot some pretty pictures, maybe it'll be more bearable then to deal with some wet weather :)
Enjoy your day, almost weekend :)

Slightly edited shot of a big booty biker babe in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1.
First of all, I need to apologize for calling this series of shots 'The Big Booty Biker Babe', that's a very sexist and demeaning thing to say, and I'm really sorry, but I'm trying to make a point here: The good girls of Amsterdam ride their bikes like Pros, they are faster, fitter, cooler and better looking than any other group of girls on this planet, and they make biking look reallyreally good! But there's one downside to this flaunted fitness, the saddles of our old-fashioned grannybikes squash our behinds into unnatural shapes while riding, and when one of us actually hops of his/her bike, which almost never happens, we even stay mounted when we're sleeping, it takes a while before our tushies find their own form back, resulting in weird shapes while they're resetting to their natural states, and if you're unlucky enough to have me and my cam with its mighty zoomlens in your back while it's happening to you, you end up with pictures like these out there on the Interwebs, hahaha :D
Sorry Amsterdam ladies, just kidding, you're fiiiiiiiiiine!!!
Have a good start into the new week, take it easy!

Slightly edited puddle reflection of Amsterdam. Taken with a borrowed Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing besides some added contrast, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
This week has been very eventful, at least for those of us who follow the developments around the Dutch Royal family, on Monday our Queen Beatrix informed the country that she's sick&tired of being the Queen (she used nicer words though :) and that from April on, her son Willem-Alexander will take over as our King. On Thursday it was the 75th Birthday of Beatrix and we also fondly remember the 200th anniversary of the Dutch Monarchy, overall a pretty royal week if you ask me. Of course I want to do my share to further the good cause (if you can call a Monarchy that, but I'm just a sucker for Queensday, so yeah, call me a Royalist, lol :), so I went out and shot some puddle pictures of the statue of our former Queen Wilhelmina that chills out at the Rokin. At your Service your Majesty :)

I'm playing with hang tags now. I love them, but have never been very good at them. With today's scrapbook papers and creative rubber stamps it's become a bit easier.
Made a long bike tour from Minden to Hille and back today, with a nice break at a friends house with pear cake and coffee. Life is wonderful sometimes!
