Unedited shot of bikers in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle. Taken with my Sony HX1. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Since the beginning of the year I, together with the rest of the country, have been looking forward to Queensday, the biggest party in the world, usually we have nice weather on that very special day, but this year it looks as if the ongoing storm and rain will force us all to stay home instead of going out there as a 16 million people strong mob, dressed in Orange, drinking, smoking and doing whatever is needed to take things just that tiny bit too far, over the edge, into unknown territory, while acting like children who have the whole house to themselves when the parents are away for the weekend. And all that is needed to bring this awesome event and experience to a grinding halt is some stoopid rain! The really sad part about this is that we're already celebrating the birthday of the deceased mum, Juliana, of our current Queen, Beatrix, to avoid weather issues, because she (Juliana) was born on April 30, while Bea saw the light of this world in January, a predictably unpleasant period of the year, but it seems that this time even such tricks won't help, sigh :)
I've made a movie of the people in this puddle too, check it out on my YouTube channel, thank you :)
