I did something similar a couple of months ago, but now it was time
again to take my daughter to Waterstone's in Amsterdam and let her loose
there. She got a stack of books and sat down to browse through them. I
swear on my Summilux that I did not arrange the stuffed animal:

While she was browsing, I went for a walk around. An M6 loaded with
Tri-X, with the 35mm Summilux mounted, good weather and a great
city--what could be nicer for walking around and fantasizing about being
a modern-day Cartier Bresson? So the 5 alternates are from that walk. 

On the street outside the Waterstone's there was an outdoor book market:

In the Netherlands bicycles can be used to transport all sorts of
things:

Buying a slice of pizza does not require getting off your bicycle
either:

And they are also seen parked in many different ways:

All pictures with Leica M6 on Tri-X and the 35mm Summilux, except
obviously the second alternate, which was taken with a 21mm Color
Skopar.
