Thanks Klaus, it can be restful. But this time whole bus loads of classes with young children were unloaded... A bit too much noise of apes after that....

Wonderful pictures Rob. The pictures of the fishes with water not visible, it appears that the fish are hanging in the air

Thnaks C C!

The piranhas look quite innocent like this!

Great set, Rob The fish looks as if their suspended in mid-air.

 

[Rob Zijlstra]

Thnaks Ken! It surprised me to see this effect, because the window glass was not exactly clean...

 

[truronion]

nice set I like them, when I was in Amsterdam some years ago possibly the eighties there was a vagrant type fellow who camped on the river bank and had been there for many years apparently, is he still there do you know?.

 

[Rob Zijlstra]

Thanks Truronion,

I don't know the guy, but if he's gone there are undoubtedly other people there now.
