#000 - Lemon Haze and Horizontal Rain

Welcome to Amsterdam [AMS Schiphol] - 2011

Amsterdam is a horizontal city.
It should be photographed horizontally.

Even the rain falls horizontally.

And it still hits you when you think you’re under cover.

Getting Lost

The first thing I love to do in a new city is get lost.
I wander without a plan, observing, wondering.

Would I live here?
For how long?

I start exploring around the STRAAT Museum.
The graffiti lead the way, but I need a coffee before the adventure begins.

At the café I meet Piers, a British expat who works for an NGO.
He is kind, and he has a beautiful four-month-old daughter with a fascinating Celtic name that I never fully managed to catch.

I walk around NDSM for a while, the street art district. The weather is rough.

I look at the walls. Take a few photos.
Back to the ferry.
Time for a hot shower.

The rule is always the same: Stay Chill & keep the vibe 🍀.
