Just an Amsterdam native who won't take his city and its cycling extravaganza for granted anymore, thinking these posts might be clues to others, inspiration perhaps, if you will...

Days and nights are getting crispy, leafs are falling and people one bikes in Amsterdam are transforming similarly.

This afternoon I took advantage of a nice enough day and sat down for lunch outside on the curb of Runstraat, smack in the middle of the famous Nine Little Streets. Slowly digesting my Club Chicken sandwich I took a few snapshot of Amsterdammers, doing what they do on any given Sunday.

    Nice effect on that last one - motion blur everywhere, except the focus of the picture. Were you riding or walking when you took it?

    Thanks, panning works after lots of practice :). Like I say in the post, I had sat down for lunch, Karl :-p.

    It’s always nice watching life go by over lunch, even better when it’s on 2 wheels….good pics.

    It is, I should do it more often, play tourist in my own town :-p. Cheers.

    Béret, jacket and gloves weather here too (though we’ll actually have a few warm days this week). I’ve been pondering getting a soft shell jacket but wondering if that is too “kit” or “lycra” for a would-be chic cyclist? (Oh, I would wear it with a skirt).

    The Stratjes are so sweet. Great organic baker there, as well as a shop that sells nothing but toothbrushes!

    I wouldn’t even know what a soft shell jacket is, Maria. No really, I don’t. But the words ‘kit’ and ‘lycra’ do scare me :-p.

    De Negen Straatjes are awesome, like a little town inside the city (although there are more parts of Amsterdam like that…actually, every neighborhood is basically like that). The bakery, yeah, it’s top notch. I like the odd toothbrushes shop as much as I like the Jordaan’s second hand glasses store, cute! ;-p
