Carefree land (riding bikes in Amsterdam)

Carefree land

As the last obligation of this day has been fulfilled, the hour is finally striking. I spent the whole day impatiently wishing that the time had already come. Then, with a smile on my face, I quickly pack all my things.

I take the key I found hidden deep in my pocket, open the lock, and pack the luggage. Finally! While my feet are still looking for their way to the pedals, the tender evening sun warms up my face. Then I start riding away. On the move, it is easy not to think about what else usually is irritating.

A light breeze blows around my face while I am delighted to admire a constantly changing environment. In the shortest time, I see all kinds of things. As beautiful wildflowers in all colors line my path, I slowly start to hear the static noise of the city motorway. This is a reminder that my excursion to “carefree land” will soon end.

Riding bikes in Amsterdam

I took this photo in early spring 2021. You can see an example of the many bikes in Amsterdam. Besides, the owner decorated it with a flower bouquet and parked it next to a building in Wijttenbachstraat. Riding a bike in Amsterdam is a great way to see the city. With so many bikes on the streets, you will surely see some interesting sights. And, if you're lucky enough to have a bike with a flower bouquet, you can brighten up your day and the days of those around you.

Hi there, I'm Stefanie, the photographer, and author of the blog post you're reading now.
