Amsterdam in colour (pt.1)

 
Some photos from last Novembers Amsterdam trip.  For the sake of not flooding them all in one post I've decided to split them into colour and mono (pt.2).  The first four are just nice scenic shots that kind of sum up Amsterdam on a beautiful autumn day, of which we were lucky enough to get 3 of in November!  Personal favourite is the cyclists in the sunset lit cobbled street, potential to crop into it on both sides, but I like the whole photo as it is too.  Lots of potential for reflections and shadows here, both in windows and water which is nice.
 
The middle two are from the Halloween parade .. always great when others are celebrating your birthday!  ;o)   The big 40 last year, so had a great time with the help of some local beer and superb food.  Happy days.
 
The last was a snapshot of a child photographer taking a photo of the glamorous graffiti.  Fairly risky shot in these times, but I really like it .. I don't do nearly enough street photography and happy with this image, even if it was at super high ISO.  .. and I was especially impressed that the girl had a proper camera and not a smart phone held at arms length!  Hallelujah!!
