Stadhuis, city hall, van Velsen, IJmuiden, Netherlands, holland

Good morning,

Today here are a couple of images of the City Hall of IJmuiden. I liked how this building has a different style to the rest of the Dutch aesthetic in the local area.

Thanks,

North Pier, IJmuiden at early sunrise, Netherlands

Good morning,

Whilst working out in the Netherlands, I was setting my alarm to get up earlier than when I was due to work to catch the sunrises. I hired a bicycle from the hotel so that I could reach further places.

These images are not what I set out to achieve, but I do enjoy them.

In true landscape style, it is a roll of the dice and down to the weather gods.

Thanks.

I hope that you enjoyed this post,

Have a good week.

Helicopter flight.

Morning,

Here are some images taken on my phone, capturing the transit of personnel from a jack up platform. We were flying in and out of Den Helder in the north of the Netherlands.

Adventure training... or work?

Good morning,

Here are some images of guy conducting specialist rope access, to inspect and repair the coating to an offshore sub station in the North Sea.

Would you enjoy this type of work? Love to hear your thoughts over on Instagram @lee_ramsden

Thanks,

Amsterdam, Queens Day April 30th 2010.

I ended up travelling over to Holland to party at Queens day in Amsterdam.

If you are like me you probably have not heard of this day before, i think it's a Dutch secret...

But WOW what a day!

The day origins from a previous Queens birthday, which the people still remain to celebrate.

The Dutch people are very much like the Brits and enjoy a good drink and party!

Queens day starts off early, where the towns people are out in force selling there possessions on the streets.

The buyers and sellers are all drinking, there are boats with HUGE sound systems booming out tunes which adds to the party atmosphere.

The sellers, then get drunk and seem to wonder off from their pitch.

As you walk the Streets of Amsterdam you turn a corner, the roads are blocked off and a DJ has set up shop with party go-errs dancing, drinking having a great time.

Here are a few images from my time there...
