Yes, nature is healing, it will take many more years for this mountain to become as it was before the fire but you can see bits of green starting to grow...

City Mixture


I always love how cities blend with nature, art and architecture. Some people might find it messy, dirty or too crowded, but you have to admit, cities has it's charms, some more pictures of Amsterdam...


Furniture made with mosaic, looks like a huge open air living room.



Nature is fighting with the bricks and stone...




The famous painting of Rembrandt, 'Nachtwacht' (The Nightwatch), has been made in huge statues on the Rembrandts square in Amsterdam, the drawing is in 2D also impressive.




Little homes with gardens all captured on boats on the canals are quite normal in Amsterdam.



A not so normal view where these geese in the middle of the road.



And a friendly Grasshopper decided to say hello to me.

Amsterdam's Street Art

Everyone knows that Amsterdam is full of Graffiti, some are really pieces of art. But as that kind of 'Art' is quite known, I wanted to introduce you with the Mosaic artist and Painter Fabrice. All over Amsterdam you will find mosaic and paintings of him, the Municipality hires him often to decorate a boring wall to avoid Graffiti.




Love the details, especially the nipple :)
