Decorated entrance

Some entrances of homes in Amsterdam are decorated with painted tiles.

I had posting problems all day long, something to do with Blogger who are fixing it. Could post this one at last by special link of them. Hope it will work.

City gardens

When you don't have a front garden you can create one. After their street had been renovated these inhabitants of Amsterdam have upgraded it with their own plants!

This initiative has been realized together with the city government. The rules are a.o. plants on special places  and the maintenance has to be done by the owners self.

It works very good and has given the neighbourhood an involvement and cohesian.

Turtle

This funny turtle is filled with sand to play with on the pavement before a house in Amsterdam.
