Thank You Melbob, Lydia, and alexelg. Believe it or not they still make these things there and not just for the tourist. Some of the locals in small villages wear them still.

LOL @ Bob. I've been there. It's lovely.
So is this shot, Troy. I think it's some of your best work. ~Lydia

I've never been there... partly in fear of the possible consequences of that poor fellow removing his 'you know what"???... from " you know where???"

But... it does remind me of a young lass I once knew from that 'neck of the woods" .... she had a pair of those.... and I 'wooden' have liked to have upset her... so we remained good friends?

I do digress somewhat???.... nice shoes, I am in awe of the patient individual responsible for turning a perfectly functional tree into something quite pretty but arguably a little less functional?

Damn good photo though Troy ! ~ Regards Melbob

Thanks CJ, Pops, and DT. I went there a couple of time on Company business and spent a total of about 4 weeks in Amsterdam. Was able to take some day tourist trips and enjoyed the country-side scenes.

I thought we might see some wooden shoes and I like this. My visit to Amsterdam amounts to a flight change at Schiphol Airport. Well, that's not entirely true. I was there in 1962 but don't remember much.

Well done Troy - nice lighting and composition! It looks like you did a little traveling to Holland? We've only been in Amsterdam for a few days but didn't see the rest of the area. I'd love to go back. CJ
