~In memory of the victims of the vicious attack in the Dutch town of Apeldoorn on April 30, 2009~
Obviously this gallery shows a day of great fun and parties. In other words Queen's Day as it should be. In Amsterdam, the best place to be on this day, it was indeed one big party. However the day was overshadowed by the horrible event that took place in Apeldoorn, a town 80 kilometers east of the capital. There 7 people were killed and some others severely injured by a crazed driver who wanted to attack The Netherlands' Royal Family. Despite this sad fact, I decided to share the day like I experienced it along the streets and canals of Amsterdam.
Stuk voor stuk hele goede composities en de foto's geven een heel goed beeld van de gezellige sfeer van Koninginnedag! Ook al zou je 30 april als 'steeds hetzelfde' kunnen omschrijven (ook al is dat dan positief bedoeld), deze gallery voegt toch echt ook weer toe aan de voorgaande jaren! You got my vote, dude!:-) -M.
