Things I saw yesterday in Amsterdam that I’ve never seen before:

Whitecaps on the canals. It was incredible, like a raging river was running through the city. The poor ducks were totally shocked by their new environment.

Tree debris lining the streets. If the trees managed to stay upright, they still lost most of their baby branches. And if there were any straggling leaves left from the summer, they’re definitely gone now.

The Centraal Station shutting down. No trains. I’ve never seen that happen before. Those poor, poor commuters, especially the ones with nowhere to crash in A’dam.
