Yesterday afternoon there were three people reading in the Botanic Garden in Amsterdam

One woman was sitting near to the pond

Yesterday I met with Yannick Bouillis, the owner of Shashin Art Bookshop, to discuss the launch of the book Quiet Amsterdam, which will take place in late September. I was invited to show black and white photographs from the book in the small gallery at Shashin.

This park is by a main road but it's still quite peaceful. The lawn is surrounded by lime trees and there are a few straggly rose bushes next to some green painted benches.
