Unedited shot of buildings, trees and cars, reflected in the Singel canal in Amsterdam. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
It's so good to be back after several days of 'Trojan' inflicted Flickr abstinence, that I can't stop myself from uploading more pictures...this is the other side of that street :)
I've shot a couple of reflection movies of this spot too, check them out on my YouTube page!

Reflections Of Amsterdam - In The World!
Coffee Time Again!
Slightly edited shot of myself reflected on the counter of the Coffee Company in Amsterdam. Taken with my C905 phone. No editing besides some added contrast&saturation, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
After the Trojan nightmare was finally over, there was nothing left to do but to sit back, relax, drink coffee and realize that I am off for the whole week, the sun is shining and I am using the time to spoil myself with some new, funky gadgets that I will tell you about in the next days...until then, thank you for visiting my stream and my website, even though I haven't been able to visit yours in the last days due to all the madness going on :))
Have a great day!

In A Dark Place...
Slightly edited shot of myself reflected on the window of a shop in Amsterdam. Taken with my C905 phone. No editing besides some added contrast&saturation, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Having my main PC infected with a bunch of nasty Trojan horses was a traumatizing experience, for a whole weekend no Flickr, no Facebook, no Twitter, no Blogger no updates on my website, no online banking or shopping, it was weird, I can tell you! Luckily for me, my good old friend, the lovely Miss L, was in town and we had a great weekend outdoors, enjoying the sunshine and the bike rides through the best city in the world...in the meantime my computer was at home, fighting a battle for life and death against the horrible Intruders and finally, after 3 days of scanning, deleting, cleaning, killing, rearranging, quarantining, searching&destroying and many other supercalifragilisticexpialidocious measures involving the best security software out there, combined with inhuman efforts, it came out as the winner, clean and shiny as a freshly installed machine just rolled out of the factory (well, sort of...) and I can finally go online again and share my story with you, yay :)

Entering Bizzarro World...
Slightly edited shot of myself reflected on a video screen promoting the KunstVlaai/ArtPie exhibition in the Westerpark in Amsterdam. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing besides some added contrast&saturation :)
I took this shot the day I've uploaded the "It's Coffee Time" series, to illustrate how much I enjoy the morning bike ride with coffee&ciggie and naturally I appreciated the added element of the video people spooking around me, playing their wicked ghost tunes...little did I know that somehow this ghostly element would be following me for the rest of the weekend, but let me explain...
Thursday my good old friend, the lovely Miss L, came down from the Mountain top she's living on, to visit me and the best city in the world, we were both really happy and excited to meet again after not seeing each other for years, to celebrate this special occasion I played some relaxed Reggae tunes from some online radio station on my PC, when my Antivirus software alerted me to unwanted Intruders, namely a bunch of Trojan horses, so nasty, it took me all weekend to kill them, yikes! My computer is a very safe, overly protected place and I pride myself in never having suffered any of the manymany horrible things that seem to happen all over the Interwebs these days, but now they finally got me and it pains me to admit that it wasn't even some sleazy Pron site, but a harmless little radio stream that kicked my ass...to add insult to injury, I don't even remember which station it was, otherwise I'd send them an online Fatwa that would make hair grow in unspeakable places of their doomed bodies, hahaha :D

Reflections Of Amsterdam - It's...
Unedited shot of the Coffee Company at the Spuiplein in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
I don't know if you know this, but we don't have 'Starbucks' in the best city in the world (actually, this is a white lie, I've read in the news that there's one inside the Amsterdam Central Station now, but I haven't seen it myself, so I can't vouch for it :)), we have the Coffee Company. They're all over town, they are not expensive and they make delicious coffee, so I stop there every morning to pick up a cup of 'Americano' that I enjoy together with a nice, healthy cigarette, while riding to work on Bikey, usually resulting in a fine start of the day :)
I couldn't stop myself and also shot a wicked reflection movie of this puddle, watch it on my YouTube page!
