Royal Celebrations in Amsterdam!

Journal Entry: Fri May 3, 2013, 1:10 AM




Amsterdam, the Netherlands, April 30 2013



After 33 years as monarch of the Netherlands, HM. Queen Beatrix abdicated the throne and her son Willem-Alexander became the new King. Following the abdication, now Princess Beatrix came on the balcony of the Royal Palace together with the new King Willem-Alexander and his wife now queen Máxima.  A little later, also the princesses Amalia, Alexia and Ariane joined their parents on the balcony, to wave at the crowd.



All over the country, celebrations took place to celebrate the new King. Especially in Amsterdam, where in the afternoon the official Investiture of the new King took place, and later in the evening the Royal boat ride on the River IJ, there was huge feast everywhere





More of my photo's of this historic event can be seen on DEMOTIX:

:bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue:For every single :+fav: : Thank you!:bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue:

Thank you so very much to each and everyone for the many, many :+fav:'s, comments, features and signs of support I receive for my work. It truly isn't possible for me any more to thank you personally for every single fav, but I will continue to do effort to reply to every comment. I just have to make choices, and prefer to put my time in preparing and uploading more pics for you to enjoy, and to visit some of my friends' galleries and comment on their work too.
However, I cannot say enough how much all your support means to me, so to each of you who faved, commented or featured my work:
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hi, I'm Steppeland, female :)
Born in Flanders, Belgium (1958) and living in a very intercultural neighbourhood in Amsterdam South-East, the Netherlands.
In the first place, I feel I'm a world-citizen.

I'm a general photographer, with special focus on nature photography, street and photo journalism, and stock photography. And occasionally, I like to experiment a little with digital art as well.

You can read a bit more about my fascination with photography, and about the motivation of my work in my journal here [link]

Feel free to browse and look around in my gallery, and never hesitate to let me know what you think about my work. I always appreciate constructive comments and feedback, and love sharing experiences with other photographers and artists – it’s the best way to learn!

Hope to see you around! :)
