Amsterdam: between the Queen´s birthday and the visit to Stedelijk Museum
Escaping from London in the hottest weekend of the year, with the Royal Wedding and the city attacked by tourists from all over the world, I went to Amsterdam. Well, actually the city was very busy as well… for the queen's birthday celebration.
I found this an exciting moment to discover the city totally covered with orange flags, orange boats...

#21 Senti-mentally
Let’s take a closer look at a work by Sol LeWitt, a great artist who has just left us, whose legacy to the world was the idea of art as a concept.
