Natural beauty

Some beautiful mushrooms I photographed on a tree before the snow came.

Brunch

with homemade scones.

Oliebollen met krenten of rozijnen

Here is an explanation of what 'oliebollen' are.

S for snow and Saturday

It's a privilege to have such a window view while having my morning coffee. 

Being able to watch the snowflakes fall while steam rises out of my mug.

Blue Monday was white

Amsterdam is always packed with tourists, they say Paris is the most visited city in the world, but Paris is so big that you can manage to avoid tourists even being a tourist, well that doesn't happen in Amsterdam, because it's a very small city.

Advantages of having lived in Amsterdam: knowing a few nice places where tourists hardly go to. 

The view from my table next to the window.

White week

It has been snowing this week, temperatures went down to -15 with a wind gust of 40km/h (25mph), but it was all so beautiful and worth seeing!
