Snapshots #6: Dutch Life

I’m a bit of an amateur photographer – I studied photography at A Level, and it’s always been a hobby of mine. Snapshots is the feature where I share some of that photography! All of the photos link to my Flickr account, in case you’re interested in viewing more.

Today’s theme is: Dutch Life. Snapshots I’ve taken in other cities but Leiden!

Rotterdam – one of the few areas I found that looked typically ‘Dutch’.

Rotterdam – as you can see, a contrast to the scene above.

Amsterdam – someone has painted over the Cookie Monster now though…

Delft – this was in either Oudekerk or Nieuwekerk, I can’t remember which!

I love how you can see the reflection of my garden in this one.

These are not regular sized daisies, as several people on Flickr thought. Not sure how I’d manage that…

I miss my old camera for its macro…

Stadhuis (town hall)

This bit could be Oxford. If you just ignore the Dutch above the door of course…

These aren’t as high quality as normal as they were taken on my phone!

Same millpond as above. The area is now a college for adults with learning disabilities, but most of the grounds are open to the public.
