The weather is foggy and rainy all the time here, we call it "the dark days before Christmas". This is the "Damrak" in Amsterdam the main street from the Central Station in the background to the city with the stock exchange building at the right.
The big department store "the Beehive".
Some lighted windows in the stock exchange building.
It does look dark and cold but the Christmas lights and warm window lights make it look nice.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenah!! your photos make me want to curl up in a little ball and drink hot chocolate. It looks cold and wet!

I agree with Kitty, your images make you just want to get all nice and cosy by a fire or something Marianne, to me where it's going to be 39C on Christmas day, it looks rather appealing.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI can see how the store got its nickname. The weather doesn't look too bad but I suppose it could become tiresome.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis was the first street I gazed upon when I walked out of Central Station. I will never forget it.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenlove the lights in the windows in your second pic! Was last year in Amst. - not enough time to take more pics!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a beautiful trio of winter scenes! I hope that you can all stay warm and snuggle with Sofietje.

i really like the first picture... i took one from there too, but its not as nearly as nice, also it was lighter so you couldnt see the nice christmas lights...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI just immigrated from Holland to the States so it's just great to see a bit of Amsterdam.
