signs, signs


This sign is across the street from the 
Eddy Varekamp Gallery.  You can find reasonably
priced linocut and stencil prints at this
Amsterdam shop—a great gift or souvenir.

keep it clean


I posted an image of a shop window the other day
and if you had to guess where it was, your 

first guess probably wouldn't be "the Netherlands."
This Amsterdam sign is for 
local dog walkers,
however.  Pretty easy to tell what it says, even if
you don't speak a word of Dutch.

Parking is an issue in the Jordaan neighborhood,
in Amsterdam—unless, of course, 
you happen to be driving one of these cute
cars, which fits on the sidewalk and
is barely bigger than a bike.

The Weekend in Black and White


This tattoo parlor is in Amsterdam.  So,
knowing that, is there anything
about it that strikes you as unusual?

ABC Wednesday—N is for "Netherlands"


And a pretty canal in the just-
quiet-enough district
of Jordaan, in Amsterdam.
