Recently I was in Antwerp for work:

And in Alkmaar for a celebration:

Church of the Holy Spirit 

But am always glad to be back in Amsterdam. Where I joined my first 'rave' since the early nineties. 

At the NDSM terrain in Amsterdam-North. 

Where you can get to by a (free!) ferry from Amsterdam Central Station:

"That crane must be there because Amsterdam is creating a new skyline, right?" Almost. It's a leftover from the old docks. And now a hotel. Where a few years ago some poor tourist died because he thought he could fly. He could. Briefly. Because his landing was in need of some practice. 

Little piece of advice: thanks to the Dutch reclaiming land from the water, the soil is really good for growing marijuana (and tulips!) so the weed in the Netherlands is a lot stronger than what most people are accustomed to.

And never mix the stuff with alcohol. 

Better than alcohol or other drugs, IMHO, is simply sitting on the dock of the bay and take in this wonderful view.

Or this one, at night. From the rooftop of Amsterdam Central Station. Where they built an extensive bus terminal on top of the station. While the trains kept running on schedule.

Here's said trainstation by daytime. Always making me instantly feel at home and happy, from wherever the train had brought me:

One of the poems I wrote during the show I did in Belgium last Summer, is this one:

It just had (a #poem)

Sharing a coffee 

after sharing a room

and an interesting night.

An a-typical 'the morning after'

Waiting 

for memories to fade

and a dream to come true.

The bed unmade,

feeling a fool 

Until her eyes lit up

at the dawn 

of realisation:

That dream waiting 

to become reality?

It just had
