Summer is here

The eternally endless, snowless, cold and disappointing winter has finally come to an end in Amsterdam. The streets now dazzle in the light till late in the night. The sun is out longer than it is down. There is more warmth than there is chill. There are more people outside than ever. Hey ho and hooray, the summer is here.

The streetlights are lit quite late in the night and yet, they seem to be too early

Waiting for life

So many people in the world are waiting for their life to turn around. People living in liberal countries, with power to change their circumstances wait for something exciting to happen in their lives. Many others in repressed totalitarian countries, wait for the lies to crumble and the facade for the outside world to fall. Everybody is looking to the sky wondering when their lives will change to bring them more happiness and better times

Everyone is waiting for life. I am waiting for life.

Here are some pictures that have evoked this feeling in me.

Retro sunset in Amsterdam

Gorgeous last rays of sunlight falling into the streets of Amsterdam, giving off the retro look of the ’60s, which in reality are at least couple of centuries old, on a Friday night made for a fantastic start for the weekend. It was a great day. The weekend is going to be even more amazing.
