Saludos cordiales Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Nathan Wajsman Enviado el: s?bado, 12 de mayo de 2007 18:31 Para: Leica Users Group; LEG Asunto: [Leica] IMG: Queen's Day 2007 I am sort of spamming the list with images right now, I guess...but it is simply because I have taken a lot of pictures during the past couple of weeks, and I suppose that is a good thing :-) April 30th is the closest the Netherlands has to a national holiday, Queen's Day. It is not actually the current queen's birthday, but the date was kept since the weather is often good in late April. The two main traditions are the "vrijmarkt", literally "free market" which starts early in the morning, and where anybody can set up a stand and sell whatever junk they wish to sell. Places are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis, so some people actually camp out overnight to secure the choicest spots. The other Queen's Day tradition is, unsurprisingly, to drink a lot of beer a watch others doing the same, preferably outdoor, and preferably dressed in something orange. This year I walked through the free market in Almere, where I live, and spent the afternoon drinking beer and watching the human traffic in Hilversum, where my children go to school. The results are here: http://www.frozenlight.eu/queensday/ and as always, comments are gratefully welcomed.
