Its the world-cup season and the entire country of Netherlands is living and breathing the Football by beginning the season with a revenge of 5-1 against Spain, the team it had lost the 2010 title to. As a result, the city of Amsterdam started getting drowned in a sea of orange everywhere.

Shops and houses, restaurants and streets were all decorated

Scooters and flowers weren’t spared either.

People were supporting by sporting orange everywhere, some in the big open areas setup with massive screens

some others showed either in their own small ways

or by staring at scores in their phones away from the crowd

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 grass is green

Flowers are full of colors

Streets are flooded with shoppers and tourists

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