At the Museum-square in Amsterdam there is always something going on. These boys from the US were inviting the audience to support there street act with yelling and clapping. Well you can see the Dutch don't have usually that exhuberance behaviour, we are a bit reserved people. But the younger ones were yet clapping.
One of the boys started a breakdance act, he was turning around very fast on his head.
Then he was making himself smaller.
Until he was very small and still turning around! It is crazy he managed to balance without using his hands. I had only seen this on television, never in reality. In the end I did clap for him too.
What a great capture as the break dancer made himself smaller. I am sure they were most enthusiastic and I see by the faces of the children and adults, they were enjoying this very much. It amazes me how they can spin on their heads like that and not get hurt. Wonderful photos and lots of bright colours. :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI often wonder, if in the long run, that some damage is done to the body?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenFun to watch. I saw a group like this in NY. I did notice, when I went back to the first photo that there is some fabric on his hat...maybe this helps him spin?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think you're right, I hadn't noticed but there is some part on his hat helps him spin and the circle on the ground too.
VerwijderenFun to watch Marianne, must have been good to make everyone clap enthusiastically :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNeat to look at the expressions of the people standing by.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat makes my head and neck sore just looking at that youngster on his head.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGeweldig om dit te zien, ze lijken me erg goed.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDearest Marianne,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenFunny the way you describe the Dutch people here.
It will be hard for any group to motivate the usually Calvinistic Dutch to freely participate in public! But kids are more spontaneous and they probably took the lead for their parents and other adults.
Amazing how such a guy could turn and turn around while standing on his head! He sure deserved a big applause.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
PS Don't know if you sign up for reply emails but I wrote to your amazement about desert plants blooming too the following: Ja, alle woestijnplanten bloeien omdat het hun overlevings cycle is door zaad te produceren! Google maar eens naar 'The desert blooms' dan kun je met verbázing naar al de prachtige bloemen kleuren kijken!
Ja ik weet nu eenmaal niet zo veel van planten, maar het klinkt logisch dat ze zich moeten voortplanten om te overleven. Bedankt voor de informatie.
VerwijderenPretty amazing what some of these people can do.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenim just curious what the american guys were doing here? :)
