Skywatch Friday: Queensday

Six instead of the usual four pictures I tend to show on SWF but that's because it was Queensday on april 30th. The day we Dutch celebrate the Queen's mom's birthday I took these shots in my hometown of Amsterdam:

My son, me and a neighbour joined in the gigantic fleemarket the country is that day:























At a popular side-entrance of Vondelpark there stands a church called Vondelkerk (Vondelchurch)























In the park people chat, relax, listen to little girls trying to play the violin:














































Vondelpark is renown for inventive games like this one:"Insult the shoe and win a gold nugget"























Coming out of Vondelpark you pass Max Euwe plein, which leads to Leidseplein:


















In the distance you can see Leidseplein-square, the populair drinking-scene:
