A ride around Vondelpark

On my bicycle, on another beautiful day in Amsterdam, I went for a ride in the Vondelpark.

Let's go for one lap.

Perfect weather

Water & trees as we pause in the shade to enjoy the view and for some refreshment, (maybe a couple chocolates & a quick cigar)



Autumn is coming
The trees are in different phases of changing color. >

Autumn garden
Most of the flowers of summer are gone, a few remain.

Nice little place to get off the bike and go for a little stroll.



Pond and trees
A mossy green pond offsets the blue sky.

Sculpture
Sculptures of different types scattered throughout Vondelpark



Back to the beginning
And here we are back to the same spot we came in just 30 minutes ago.....

....where exactly did you buy those chocolates??..

    Highly evocative texts and photos! I think it's great that you got to meet Louis H. Bryan. And yours is the only Theda Bara quote that I have seen thus far on VT. I went to Amsterdam in May, rented a bike and had a fine time riding around.
