Wacky as always. Amsterdam.

"River cruise?" was my reply when asked by a friend who I occasionally hook up with asked if I fancied a last minute getaway.... "advertised with a substantial discount" perked me up.
"Yeah" she replied " Amsterdam to Budapest, 14 nights, goes out in 3 days time, £1,900 discount per person"
"Fuck yeah," says I as I threw a spare pair of pants into a Lidl carrier bag

So here we are in the wonderful city of Amsterdam, the pair of us suitably attired for an epic float along the waterways of central europe. Time for just a quiet stroll along the canalside before it's anchors away.

A canal barge moored had to be snapped. "Street art".....is it?

Welcome to Wacky baccy centraal, where art takes on whatever form the weed inspires you to create.

No one about to ask "What the fuck", nothing online except a few similar snaps on that mummsy mainstream flickr malarkey. So time to let the imagination run riot and the eyes to boggle at a feast of fantastic art and sculpture.

Would it not be wonderful if in the parallel universe when darkness falls that these figures come alive and speak to us of their dreams.

Just a whole bunch of discarded mannequins, but posed and eye catching and they do say beauty is in the eye of the beholder
AND
I think they are bloody goegeous

in the parallel universe when darkness falls that these figures come alive...

...and then they go and search for their bicycles. I saw just one bike, and it is not acceptable in Amsterdam!! 😁

So, a river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest? Enjoy 👌

I have a bit different feelings and imaginations about these "dolls"... The do look nice during the day, but...

when darkness falls that these figures come alive

I would freak out to see them at night, without lights... 🤣 especially if they would come alive... 🤣 it would be creepy...

And regarding river cruise, I'm all for it... maybe without these mannequins... 🤣

Wonderful indeed, imagine what stories they could tell;) I absolutely agree they are gorgeous!

Been to a coffeehouse yet? I'm sure by now you know just how it smells in Amsterdam'!

I loved the Netherlands, enjoy the trip. A bargain for sure!

The Netherlands, I love it, was fortunate enough to visit on a regular basis when I was working, many a great late afternoon and evening spent in Amsterdam and Rotterdam mainly, enjoying the aromas......and all on expenses Yee Haw.

Mannequins put to good use by artists in town, if not a bit wacky, why not.

Great way to travel, expect whispers on the wind after midnight, little sweet nothings in the ear.

Wacky backy might get you through the night unscathed.
