Subject: [Leica] Nathan's PAW 25: Summer in Holland

Yes, amazingly we had summer here in the Netherlands for the past 10 
days or so. I suppose that's it for this year since it is raining this 
morning, but it was nice while it lasted.

I am further pleased to report that of this week's 7 pictures, 5 were 
taken with on-topic equipment, namely a newly acquired 50mm Summilux R 
(no, not the latest version, that one was not compatible with my credit 
card at the moment).

Here is an evening picture from Hilversum, outside an ice cream parlour:

On Friday, I came home from work to find that my wife and several 
friends and assorted children had spent several hours eating, drinking, 
frolicking in the pool and so on. So I did the sensible thing and joined 
in. Here are a couple of our friends, Sandy and Karen, respectively:

The remaining shots are the beginning of a project I have decided to 
embark on, to photograph cyclists and their bicycles around here. This 
is after all a country where the average person owns at least two 
bicycles, and they, like their owners, come in all sizes and shapes. So 
here is an initial appetizer, I would really appreciate some feedback so 
I know whether I am on to something or whether I am all wet.

First, three recreational cyclists on a dike just north of Amsterdam:

Then three street scenes from Amsterdam itself:
