These stylish inflatable crowns were given around near Rembrandtplein
Christmas again!
A lush wide-angle view near Hortus
A violet clematis

People walking on the bridge
A view to party boats on the Amstel river
Get married for one day?
This guy wanted a picture of him taken (so that his water bottle and corn cob were both visible...)
More party boats with some added smoke
Partygoers and an ambulance on Utrechsestraat
More orange partygoers there (I swear that dog was dancing to the music)
Even the food stand people were dancing
Fiesta!

Kids were having fun

Enjoying the sun
