Not even 30 secs walk up the street from our holiday apartment in Amsterdam, on “our” street corner is a
coffee house sent from heaven! ‘De Koffie Salon’ became our ‘local’ during our stay – best ever coffee! :-)~
Please click the link, when you get a chance, you’ll be so pleased you did! :-)))

ripper pic Ell – that 50D cam of yours can soak up the available light very nicely.
Geof, thanks so much! :-))
All it takes is the right settings and right lens – the 50mm! :-)))
Ooh! And an available opportunity helps somewhat too ;-)

What a great capture and looks a wonderful place to have coffee in. You cannot beat Amsterdam for their style and coffee. Did you try the pancakes?
Helloooooo Karen!!! :-D
The coffee at the Salon was SO great, didn’t bother going to/trying anywhere else!! :-)~
DID try some local cuisine, didn’t get to try any pancakes during our stay, though :-/
