Boats on city streets
Lots of windmills (not a great photo but I love the juxtaposition of the new wind turbine and the old windmill.) This photo only shows one wind turbine but the countryside has many wind farms.
Psychedelic and political graffiti (vrijheid van kunst means "freedom of art.") Kudos to anybody who can tell me what the guy in the yellow headband is holding in his hand.
A unique way of collecting recyclables. There are receptacles like the one on the left all over the city. Throw in a bottle, and it sounds like you've thrown it into the Grand Canyon, because it is actually going into a huge metal underground box. Once a week, a truck like this one comes around and uses a giant crane arm to lift the box, seen here behind the stooping man (you can see the receptacle on the top of the box). The box is emptied into the truck.
Wooden shoes.
Wild foxes (this one seen in the dunes near Zandvoort and no, we don't have a telephoto lens).
Advertising circulars that people attach to your bike with a rubber band. The bicycle equivalent of a flyer under your windshield wiper. This can get annoying but I get a kick out of it anyway.
Electric Ladyland -- the Museum of Fluorescence. Only in a city like Amsterdam would you find an attraction like this.
