and in a slightly quieter end of the square

a bench, of sorts, to write some postcards

 in Amsterdam

and it's high time I came back to posting photos!

antlers

This beast was showing off a fine set of antlers.
It was a bit of a surprise to find a wildlife park in the centre of The Hague next to the train station,
but a very pleasant surprise.

cows beside a school soccer pitch

shutters

I am pretty certain of the kind of cheap souvenirs one would find behind these shutters, but the shutter designs are a nice touch. Seen after hours in one of the many alleys off Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal in Amsterdam

I have no idea what was behind this shutter.  somewhere in Museumplein, Amsterdam during an early morning stroll.
