Sloterkade, Amsterdam. There is something to be said for getting up before the wind does.
Awake at 3.02am, 3.17am, 4.48am, 5.04am. Dammit. Might as well get up and take some photos from the balcony, then post them on the blog.
There's not much colour in the world at this hour, so I'll make them black and white.
Now the traffic's starting. I'm no longer alone in the world. Time for coffee.
Richard Tulloch's LIFE ON THE ROAD 
Gorgeous photos Richard – and sympathy for the jetlag.
just saw Sean Penn in This Must be the Place. Terrific. Him as an ageing goth.
Thanks, Libby. Will look out to see when Sean’s in Amsterdam.
I like the reflections, it’s one of my favourite picture subjects.
Hard to go wrong with them, isn’t it?
Wow, these are beautiful photos! The first one takes my breath away!
Thanks for the encouragement…oh, and by the way JA, thanks for your post about Wordles. I’ve been playing around with them too now you’ve mentioned them.
Looking forward to seeing your Wordle … they are fun, eh?
I am looking forward to seeing the view for myself. I never get jet lag.
Oh too bad for you, Debra, missing all those 3am, 4am and 5am sights! You’ll have to set the alarm clock when you come here.
