These are the buildings the inhabitants of Amsterdam don't see or look at anymore. Only recently has this building from retailstore Peek & Cloppenburg made it onto the recognized monuments list.
Peek & Cloppenburg has been at this location since it built it in 1917. Designed by Anton J. Joling it has been known as the 'Het Broekenpaleis' (the pants palace) as the two founders Johann Theodor Peek and Heinrich Anton Adolph Cloppenburg have been selling cloth and garments since 1869.
The official address is Dam 5.
It's the kind of building you walk past and don't pay any attention to, but it's a huge building with some nice ornaments. Crazy tidbit. P&C had a turnover of a million guilders in 1890 already!
You couldn't tell, but I spent a lot of time in Photoshop getting this image right. Best fix is finding the absolute black and white points with the Threshold tool.
Slide the Threshold tool to the left and right and place markers at the darkest and lightest spots and then colorcorrect the image with levels and selecting the black and white points you just found with the Threshold tools to mark the right exposure for the whites and blacks.
The RMC Tokina 24mm is a lens from the 80's and it's kind enough to me for these kinds of photos. Taken at F/8 with cloudy whitebalance setting.
Daily challenge for 31st May.
This sealion was hidden till it jumped out of the water, lucky shot, lots others failed.

Ok please ignore the date it was taken on the side :/ I don't know what has happened all other photos before this have had the right date. So please excuse my camera being retard :/ or may be my laptop.
Is it my imagination or is this guy playing peek-a-boo with me? Seen at Springfield Conservation Nature Center in Springfield, Missouri, USA on August 30, 2013.
Coming around the ottoman.
I do notice the less dynamic range on this micro 4/3rds camera as opposed to the APS-C sensors that I am used to using. Not sure that I like that.

Lewis and I had a day in Glasgow, today and I took him a walk about the city centre to show him some of the street urban art.
This great artwork down by the River Clyde most certainly gave us a feeling of being watched
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!

I generally am not interested in learning beforehand what I am getting for Christmas. I simply enjoy the anticipation of the Christmas Eve Syndrome.
However, FGR asked us to peek today, and so I did.
Lit by natural light, Christmas twinkles, and my 430EX to above photo left, bounced and shielded by my mylar origami diffuser.
The Southern Alps peek out above the clouds at sunset.
Canterbury Plains, South island, New Zealand
Rising Part Two
And then
To drift away
As sleep he spreads his
Wings across my eyes
And I wave the day
Goodbye
