The Elusive Bottlenose Dolphin The best shot I got (which is not saying much) of bottle nose dolphins. Taken from the end of a fishing pier at St. Andrews State Recreation Area in Florida. I took later shots from a jetty, but every time the dolphins surfaced, the jet skis and motor boats would come around and ruin things. Anyway, it was far too bright to see what I was filming, and zooming in would have been a futile effort (out of the question). They (the dolphins) are the dark things that briefly surface above the water (It was like shooting Nessie). See if you can spot them. Views: 312 Rating:

Amsterdam, Netherlands Apartment Apartment while in Amsterdam, sadly, no longer there. Maybe next time I'll try for a canal home. Club "IT" was 3 or 5 doors down, "IT" is gone too. Amsterdam (pronounced [ɑmstərˈdɑm] (help·info)) is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, located in the province of North Holland in the west of the country. The city, which had a population of 747,290 on 1 January 2008, comprises the northern part of the Randstad, the 6th-largest metropolitan area in Europe, with a population of around 6.7 million. Its name is derived from Amstel dam, indicative of the city's origin: a dam in the river Amstel where the Dam Square is today. Settled as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age, a result of its innovative developments in trade. During this time, the city was the leading centre for finance and diamonds In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city expanded and many new neighbourhoods and suburbs were formed. The city is the financial and cultural[9] capital of the Netherlands. Many large Dutch institutions have their headquarters there, and 7 of the world's top 500 companies, including Philips and ING, are based in the city [10]. The Amsterdam Stock Exchange, part of Euronext, is located in the city centre. Amsterdam's main attractions, including its historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House, its red-light district and its many cannabis coffee shops, draw 4.2 million tourists annually. Amsterdam is famous for its vibrant and diverse nightlife. The two main nightlife areas are the Leidseplein and the Rembrandtplein. Amsterdam has a lot of cafes. They range from large and modern ones to small and cozy. The typical bruine kroeg (brown cafe) breath a more old fashioned atmosphere with dimmed lights and candles. Most cafes have terraces in summertime. A common sight on the Leidseplein during summer is a square full of terraces packed with people drinking beer or wine. Many restaurants can be found in Amsterdam as well. Since Amsterdam is a multicultural city, a lot of different ethnic restaurants can be found here. Restaurants range from being rather luxurious and expensive to being normal and affordable. Some of the best restaurants in the Netherlands are located in Amsterdam. Amsterdam also possesses many discothèques. Most of the discothèques are situated near the Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein.The Paradiso, Melkweg and Sugar Factory are cultural centers, which turn into discothèques on some nights. Examples of discothèques near the Rembrandtplein are the Escape and Club Home. Also noteworthy are Panama, Hotel Arena (East) and The Powerzone. The Reguliersdwarsstraat is the main street for nightlife for gays, lesbians and bisexuals. Koninginnedag 2007 in Amsterdam Hollywood films are primarily featured at cinemas owned by Pathe. (Tuschinski) is an old art deco building with a beautiful lobby and six screens. Theater One is an architectural treasure with comfortable seats, two balconies and recently restored ceilings. Pathe's nearby De Munt has bigger screens and better sound, and a short metro ride from the center is Amsterdam's most technically advanced and modern cinema, Pathe Arena. Pathe City is scheduled to reopen in 2009. Art films can be found at Tuschinski, and the independent The Movies, Cinecenter, Kriteroen, Ketelhuis, Uitkijk, and the Filmmuseum. Views: 49 Rating:
