This afternoon I have been briefly in Utrecht and of course I took some pictures. Here is a mixed overview. Please feel free to C&C if you want to.

Cem, as usual, your photos are always interesting and wonderfully composed.

I love that first one with the line of pigeons, how cool is that?

Also love the guy and girl dancing; what can I say, it's romantic; Is there some sort of love festival going on? With that big heart?

Great photos, Cem. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Maggie, you're way too kind.
Tomorrow they have the Pink Saturday event in Utrecht. I think that is the reason for some of the decorations.

I went to look it up. Rose Zaterdag is a huge gay event. The hearts though, are for this year, Utrecht celebrates its 300 years of the Peace Treaty of Utrecht (1713). It is also the 100th anniversary of the Utrecht Peace Palace.

Lots of love going around. :)

Oooh wee. The dancing couple is nearly perfectly constructed considering the red skirt and red punctuation point on the step. One facing away and one facing the camera - nice! The b/g is interesting and nicely placed. Nice work.

You've done your research well. Unfortunately, I couldn't go there today to shoot pictures. Some years ago, the Pink Saturday was held in our town. I may show some pictures from then if you want me to.

Funny you mention birth. I was thinking of death and the light at the end of the tunnel. ;)

LOL, I can't remember my birth, too long ago, and I try not to think about the inevitable, it will happen anyway whether I think about it or not ...

I like the Tunnel shots, regardless. Well done Cem, nice extension to the portals series.

Cheers,
Bart

Hi Bart and Sam,

Thanks for your kind comments.
Sam the fourth boa was still clinging to the neck of the statute at the other side. It must have been blown away by the wind.

I love the energy in this wonderfully caught moment. Others might have zoomed in or cropped later, but you kept the wide environment and that makes their interest in each other all the more beautifully displayed, as they ignore everyone around! Vive l'amour!
