Shadows

With the low sun in autumn you get long shadows as here at the Thorbecke square in Amsterdam.

All the smokers have to sit outside, it is not allowed by law to smoke in cafe's anymore. But that was not bad yesterday, it was the hottest November day ever recorded in the Netherlands,  21 C (69.8 F).

  1. Dearest Marianne,
    Wow, you did have a very nice November day for Dutch standards!
    Oh, here smoking inside any building is already for years prohibited. But still some fervent smokers will go outside in the rain or cold; only for smoking their cigarette.
    Lovely photos and it is so apparent that Dutch are really 'terrasjes-mensen' or outdoor café people...
    Hugs and happy Sunday!

  2. Brings back not so pleasant memories of when people did crowd into tiny cafes and smoke. What were we thinking?! :-)

  3. Here also all smokers have to be outdoors. It's not look nice, when it is small bar and tables are no longer outstanding. All are standing and junk.
    But your photos seems so summerly, I almost no longer remember the summer, because we have now a real autumn.

  4. All I can say is thankyou that smokers are no longer allowed to pollute the air inside. I am wondering why we ever allowed that to happen and I am one of those allergic to smoke with certain allergies. I often craved to go to eat out but could not for all the smokers in the restaurants. Now I am most happy they are on the outside and I am inside. Love the long shadows, certainly add focus to the photo.

  5. Smoking is banned here inside bars and restaurants and on an outdoor patio if any portion of a patio is covered or partially covered by a roof.

  9. We have had a very warm October and very little moisture. I enjoyed sitting outside to eat in Poland in August - we have so few places like that here.
