The Night Watch viewed by mother and daughter as a security guard makes sure no one attacks the photo. Someone once slashed the painting.
This guy tried to get out of my photo when he saw me. But I told him he was part of the photo, which is why he’s smiling. It’s not often you see someone in a similarly coloured top to Vermeer’s milkmaid 😀
This woman was colour-coordinated with the museum
The library in the Rijksmuseum is the largest art history one in the Netherlands and contains a kilometre of visible shelving with another four tucked away in the basement!
Look at the man’s face in this Toulouse-Lautrec sketch

Vermeer captures a part of Amsterdam
The Dutch are creative and practical. What better way to cool down in the city over a drink than sitting in a water-filled dinghy on the hottest day of the year?!
The modern art museum
Claire, for some reason, I thought of you when I saw these babes in the modern art museum 😁
This is the photo I was taking when a man appeared on a balcony to tell me the history of the church.
From my first trip in the 1980s! The trams were yellow then.
In case you can’t find the Red Light District
I was WhatsApping with these two characters, Anish and Jay, who were on the same hike as me. And lo and behold they appeared in my photo without me knowing! In the previous shot (not here), Jay (in orange t-shirt) is waving at me, I don’t know it’s him and think to myself, “That’ll make a good shot because that bloke is pointing to the church and it will direct the viewer’s gaze”!
The flower market
Cheese, cheese everywhere
It would have been great if these four had had red, yellow, green and blue t-shirts 😃
