QUEENS DAY IN HOLLAND.

Maybe uou know, The Neterlands is a kingdom and has a real Queen Beatrix. On April 30 we celerate her birthday (actually it is the bithday of the former Queen Juliana).
Most of the time there is a the orange sun (the house of orange is the family name). All people dress with some orange, sometimes left from the football championchip. It is one big party with fleemarkets en lots of fun. Cheers.

I made some more pictures of Queensday in Holland:

Thanks for sharing this celebratory Day with us. Orange is a color that goes well with the happy festive mood. Your shot is crisp, and that hat makes us want to hit the fridge for another beer!

Hi Hendrik, Nice rendering of the atmosphere which is always pleasant on our 'Queens day'. Nice smiles and an abundance of orange. I didn't take any pictures yesterday, actually, so I'm glad you come up with this one.
