Amsterdam/design

I took this photograph in the oldest church in Amsterdam. This room truly made me swoon.  I might use this image as the place I go to in my head when the world’s just too much.

This church is in the red-light district—it was founded in 1213 and consecrated in 1306.  After the Reformation it became a Calvinist church.  Here’s a link with more information.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

These globes and the plants were in the street front windows of an apartment.

This photo is musician Elliot Smith.  This image was on a storage kiosk.

Another kiosk image of John and Yoko during the Bed-In for Peace.

This is an entryway, the subtle lavender curtains were just so pretty.

There are awnings, outdoor lights and heaters everywhere.

These books were beside each other I just thought it was funny. Pretty sure these girls don’t care in the least about mid-century design.

This is a crosswalk on a high end shopping street.

    It is always surprising how the need to decorate and or express/present, cannot be suppressed. At least not for too long.
    Remarkably, a family statement on a small shop window created by a somewhat untrained eye, can offer a long lasting impression which goes beyond a professional contrivance.
