Last day of summer makes you reflect on the past summer. Of course during Covid times it was harder to go out on the street, but there were a lot of enjoyable days walking the streets of Amsterdam and seeing people enjoy summer, a man eating an ice cream, a woman squinting her eyes while enjoying the rays of sun on her face, a couple having that much needed talk outside while staring over the water.

Zaanse Schans during Covid Times
Last year just before my big operation I got married and we took a boat from Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans with our family and friends. On our one year anniversary we revisited the place, just the two of us by car. Due to Covid-19 there were far less tourists this time at Zaanse Schans to …

Skaters
Skaters in the Amsterdam Staatsliedenbuurt near Westerpark at van Beuningenplein and at Marnixplantsoen. Pictures taken at the end of summer in the afternoon.
Playground
Exploring negative space at the playground. End of summer start of autumn is one of my favorite times to go out and take pictures. Shadows are long, warm light bounces of the buildings at the end of the day you can find excellent light and dark contrasts during that time.
Getting it right
Visiting Zaanse Schans by boat with our family and friends. Chinese tourists come in busloads just to take the perfect shot. It turns out that our blond friends are a special attraction, more interesting then the windmills that they came to see.
