Album Kings Day 2014

 

On Saturday, April 26th, 2014 the first King's Day was celebrated by a visit of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima to 2 villages, Graft-De Rijp and Amstelveen. I was invited by Restaurant Merlet from Schoorl, North part of Holland, to sail with a little vessel to ‘De Rijp’ to watch the visit of the King and Queen.

The assembling point was at the Sculpture Garden of Nic Jonk in the ‘Schermer’ and from there we had a beautiful boat trip through the ancient Dutch landscape of the ‘Eilands polder’.

It was not just a sun drenched but also an orange drenched day, witnessed by the atmospheric pictures of the orange dressed people.
