It was quite a party and I’m not sure I remember much…

I understand it is difficult to figure out exactly what is happening in this picture. I think it is interesting to watch people look at this picture and either accept it as "cool" or delve deep into layers of understanding to try to figure out exactly what it is. Everyone has different levels of investigative tolerance… but I hope it is fun to look at no matter where you stop in the curiosity chain.

This mall is in the middle of downtown Amsterdam just off the Dam Square.

Here is a cool corner found inside the narrow streets of Amsterdam.

This is one of the coolest organs I have ever seen in a church. I recently found this one in my stack of pictures from Amsterdam. I believe this is from Oude Kerk in the Red Light District.

This was a five-exposure HDR from inside this Holland church at around 12mm.

Every beautiful church in Europe has organs that are somewhere between fantasy and reality, but this one in Amsterdam really grabbed my attention.  Plus, the afternoon light was just right to get the details and the contrast.

This is one of the main canals by the train station. All the little homes lean in different directions, with most of them leaning out over the canal from a slow sink over the years.

Right in the middle is a tiny pot shop, where you can hang out and not care so much about your home leaning over the canal.

I found this fella in a back alley in Amsterdam.

I thought this was a very cool shopping mall, so I got up in the middle and took a vertical HDR.  The security guard came over and asked what I was doing. I told him that I was an American doing HDR, and then he just walked away.
