Speaking of sugar and spice....
Some (non-caloric) visual treats on a calm, clear evening in Amsterdam.

I just posted this panoramic image of Amsterdam (Centrum / Leidseplein) to Flickr.
It displays very nicely on Flickr, one of the few panoramas I've shot.
I'm not sure it will display "here" but will give it a shot... The link above is for my small (1st!) Flickr album: Amsterdam.
In the news today for unfortunate reasons. My 2nd city... and the original. Both historically known for diversity and tolerance.

I love the symmetry and style of Dutch architecture.
### Dutch Treat #7519 : Symmetry
Here is one example of "classic Dutch) right in central Amsterdam, near Centraal Station and the many boat tours.
Or as Maps GPS-tags it - and why I'll never understand Dutch! - here we are in Centraal-Noordzeebadpaatsen. (You knew that?)

Jardin de l'Hotel de Sully, Paris, Île-de-France, France
"The Hôtel de Sully is a Louis XIII style hôtel particulier, or private mansion, located at 62 rue Saint-Antoine in the Marais, IV arrondissement, Paris, France.

Happy All Saints Day ...

Dutch Ducks and Halloween... Trick or Treat!
I was a bit surprised after escaping New York (nee New Amsterdam) for a visit to Old Amsterdam, to check out some French and Dutch color and light. (Well, some pastry too...)
I found many stores, in both tourist spots and residential areas where ducks get a lot of love! And floor/window space.
And Halloween (or equivalent) is a thing in Amsterdam too, with many stores and homes featuring skeletons and cobwebs, pumpkins... and ducks!
_Ducks everywhere! Ducks in the Stores! _

Ah hah!
Thank you, #EvilGoogle for this handy display/summary on Cyril Ser[r]at … as was so nice in the days of don’t be evil #Google+
So that’s what this was about, on a wall in a lovely area of Paris, Oct 2024…
OTOH… Google found nothing for Serat but in fact another celebrity of Paris, for the restaurant elite? Or Serrat? Is it art, politics, or typo? And Errag? (Or Errhg) No hint from Google Translate. Ah, so it’s art? Politics? Paris? La meme chose.
