good luck, entering a new day!

the title “GOOD MORNING AMSTERDAM”, chosen by Bart van Dijk, gave me a flashback to the famous song GOOD MORNING AMERICA, don’t you know it, I’m your native son … – we all should have a version in our hearts (and on our lips) as a tribute to the city (or country) where we actually starting a new day …

I had my best moments, Marina,

mostly very early in the morning …
standing on my balcony
near Berlin Alexanderplatz –
inspired by sunrise,
fresh air and early birds’ singing …

I like the dog in the baby carrycot 🙂 And is that a flower pot on top of his cello!?
Either way, he looks blissfully happy with his little interpretation of the Town Musicians of Bremen 😉

flower pot? maybe a pot for money if he plays on the street? or for water if the dog is thirsty? for a “Musicians of Bremen” performance he should learn to balance through the traffic also with a cat, a pig and some goose on his bicycle (fiets they say in Dutch). bicycle can carry a lot, compare:
