Dike Bikes

Amsterdam Bikes, originally uploaded by SiLver sKY.

Amsterdam is a lot like Venice, there is water everywhere. You navigate the city based on the dam names (dam is the dutch word for body of water). When I showed up I was alone. My buddy had left his passport in Dublin and I for the second time I was in a new place finding my way. What better way to get comfortable with a place then shooting some photos. This frame was taken outside the entrance to Bob's Hostel. Bikes are big in the city. It is a lot like Seattle without the software. Although Amsterdam has the reputation of being full of sex and weed, I found the city to be very beautiful and the Dutch were as kind and as talkative as the Irish; and that is saying a lot.
