I am writing this as I have just boarded the TGV from Amsterdam back to Paris. It’s a four hour trip, so I can use the opportunity to catch up on some post-processing and to take care of a few outstanding tasks. The beauty of it is that I have a hi-speed wi-fi connection in the train, hence, the post. Amsterdam was a short but sweet stop. It wasn’t really meant to be a photo destination per se, so I just took the opportunity to catch up with a friend and get some much needed rest. Obviously, I still couldn’t help but drag my gear along with me so that I could take a few snapshots from the city of bikes. Gosh, do they love their bikes over here…I knew ahead of time that cycling was sort of the Dutch transportation mode, but I really hadn’t envisaged the scale of it. I mean, there are bikes ALL OVER THE PLACE, LITERALLY! It’s really an amazing sight. Therefore, I couldn’t send a postcard of the city without including one of these formidable devices .
