Those Dutch hats seem to be very utilitarian.

 

[robklurfield]

utilitarian, yes, so far as the bike and kid seat; but do take a look at those boots. or, did you mean the pails for hats? quite stylish.

Oh, I thought they were like those wooden shoes.

We arrived to cold weather in Amsterdam and bought the coats and hat there.

loving these shots Rob. keep them coming.

reminds me of all the trips me and the better half have taken/taking. Hope we see the pics the same way 25 years down the line.

I want a hat like that one

 

[robklurfield]

ash, I still have that hat. it looks a little ratty now and has been joined by more than 20 others.

So nice! It's like time travel!

 

[robklurfield]

Ronald, thanks.

Another beautiful archaeological series: I very like discover Paris before my arrival. Good 'souvenirs', I think...

 

[robklurfield]

Luigi, thanks. How does it compare to what you see now?

 

[luiman]

Paris, as many European historic cities, changes in appearance of persons or the environment (clothes, cars) rather than in the structure. For example, this shop Villeroy & Boch could still be on the boulevard Saint-Germain... Perhaps, the greatest transformations are not in the center, but in the suburbs. [Rob, please excuse my terrible English...]

Ah, thanks for posting these! Nice to see some photos of Amsterdam around that time, I walk around those areas so often (of course, not back then, as I was just 4 years young)

 

[robklurfield]

more time travel... these are all Agfachrome from Amsterdam in 1983.

The leaf on this sign looks suspiciously unlike any kind of coffee plant.

not a clue what the intended effect was here, but I'm fairly certain that, whatever it was, it failed to reach its objective.
