Photographer’s Note

No matter how much you've heard about Amsterdam's bicycles, you can never be prepared for what you'll see. Starting the minute you walk out of the Central Station, it's simply all you see. Everywhere. Even hanging from canal bridges! And they are the dominant species: bikes have top priority, then trams, then pedestrians and last come cars. Most of them look alike (I am incapable of imagining anyone can find their own after parking it amongst 300 others of the same color and looks), but some are unique, some are impressive, some funny. This one for example you can't miss, especially when you park it in front of a matching graffiti!

Hi Ioanna,
Beautiful composition with matching colours. Also round forms on the painting go well together with those bikes. Strong sharpening shows the wheels with sawtooth edges.
