Weekend in Vondelpark. You wonder how it’s possible, 3 weeks straight of nothing but summer-like weather. Yet another day (*gasp*) of getting together, in this case with Álvaro, his girl Tatiana & their friends from all over Europe, each bringing a contribution to the bbq.

Off and on, I glance in the distance, pick up my camera & snap. Or walk to the bike/ped path, sit my ass on the gravel & gaze in wonder. Or frantically hop on my bike and actually chase after some individuals. My bewonderment doesn’t manifest itself because of the sheer ‘critical mass’, as that’s a given. No, it’s just about how incredibly at ease everybody looks, much more so than usual, as if my brain needed another reset. More of the ‘take a load off’ & loads of ‘joie de vivre’ vibes intoxicating one’s mind. I’m Marc & I’m an addict.

‘Adjust’

‘Back Seat’

‘Face It’ & ‘Hi!’

‘Trailing Young’

‘Atta Girl’

“This Small!”

“There!”

‘Comfy’

‘Different Priorities’

‘Back Bending Fast’

‘Straight Up Fast’

‘Audience’

‘Dottie’

‘Rokjesdag’

‘Matrimony’

“LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL” & ‘Sindändùne’

Beautiful & grand.

“I’m Marc & I’m an addict” very nice mate, very nice indeed. I always have a great time when some one asks me: “what is he doing?” > “Well you see, Marc has this awesome blog…”

Great post BTW, nearly as good as the day it self. Some things might bee too good to capture, but you did a fantastic job.

^_^ No worries, I knew it wasn’t, it’s just the similarity between the girls, their hair, their dresses. :)

I love Amsterdam and I wish I could go more often to your splendid city. You are lucky.
