Lol... Sorry predictable...

Also watch your horizon. Might be my wonky eyes but looks to be ever so slightly tilted to right.

You’re right. The framing is not correct. I noticed that after taking the shot but there were so many people around that I couldn’t be bothered to wait more for another clean shot. People just walk right in front of you.

An Imperial moth, wider than my outstretched hand. Sitting on a tire of a work van.
Looking closer, the face and head of an elephant appear on it's back.
I had thoughts of Mr. Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street, or perhaps Manny the mammoth from the Ice Age movies.

Some interesting parifinalia from Amsterdam.

Not sure what they are for but I liked the colours! ;)

To be honest, they look quite scary, whatever you do don't get these mixed up with buying from the other type of retail establishment in Amsterdam - you may end up very sore!!

Were the colours better before or after use?

Wouldn't know! Not my scene at all. I'd rather a nice cold beer which they have plenty of in Amsterdam to.

Very nice picture of the palace during the blue hour. I grew up down the road in Yorktown and have seen the palace many times, but this is probably the best picture I've seen of it. Well done!

Wow, thank you!!

Netherlands
My mam says there are no large spiders or icky creatures in the Netherlands.
Ha! Thanks for proving her wrong.
:cool:

But there are!! Swimming Spiders the size of your hand that can swim across the North Sea to haunt @MacRy

I'm afraid your mother is right. This is about as scary as it gets and it's only 1-2 centimeters big.
But no snakes (occasional viper), no large predators ( just some badgers ), no scorpions ( just wasps), no sharks ( just small jellyfish).

Here's a more Brett-Weston-ish church. Comments always appreciated.

Yep... like it.... but.... I prefer the other one sans "all seeing eye" :)

Bizarre though, what strikes me is how it looks a bit like a strong hold. Is there a significance to that? Is it that in the times of the "wild west" churches were used as a central defend able point in a town like castle keeps were in medieval Europe?
