Nathan's PAW 25: Summer in Holland

Yes, amazingly we had summer here in the Netherlands for the past 10 days or so. I suppose that's it for this year since it is raining this morning, but it was nice while it lasted.

I am further pleased to report that of this week's 7 pictures, 5 were taken with on-topic equipment, namely a newly acquired 50mm Summilux R (no, not the latest version, that one was not compatible with my credit card at the moment).

Here is an evening picture from Hilversum, outside an ice cream parlour:

On Friday, I came home from work to find that my wife and several friends and assorted children had spent several hours eating, drinking, frolicking in the pool and so on. So I did the sensible thing and joined in. Here are a couple of our friends, Sandy and Karen, respectively:

The remaining shots are the beginning of a project I have decided to embark on, to photograph cyclists and their bicycles around here. This is after all a country where the average person owns at least two bicycles, and they, like their owners, come in all sizes and shapes. So here is an initial appetizer, I would really appreciate some feedback so I know whether I am on to something or whether I am all wet.

First, three recreational cyclists on a dike just north of Amsterdam:

Then three street scenes from Amsterdam itself:
