Great Picture (12)


15 Aug 2010 - A great picture tells a story and this picture by Dutch photographer Marijn Scheeres tells the story how Amsterdam is changing. The picture was taken in Amsterdam-North, and I like the contradiction between the muslima who is doing her shopping, while life goes on for the traditional Amsterdam couple on the right side of the picture. The picture was taken at an early morning hour, and the elderly couple is about to share their first cup of coffee, while the new neighbor has a different daily routine and seems already done with her shopping. She looks a bit lonely though - all alone on the cold street. This is Amsterdam in 2010!
