Dark days

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.

  7. 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.

  8. I can see how the store got its nickname. The weather doesn't look too bad but I suppose it could become tiresome.
