Green Walk Amsterdam part 1.
Today, I wanted to show you a different perspective on Green in the city. I took some photos during our Green Walk, which aren’t exactly your run of the mill stylish green promo photos, ha. Come walk with me! First, a little closeup of the plants in the window on the featured photo:

And beautiful tiles like these can be found all across the old part of town:

Old dust bins can be useful for ‘growing your own’ (and as you can see, they need serious protecting ;)):
And if you can’t plant it, paint it!
Did I mention I love dried plants?
Plants and shop fronts are also a magical combination, especially in Amsterdam (which is also famous for its cats in windows. Note to self: go back and do a post about that)! I mean, where else can you find an ‘Amazing Beauty Boudoir’ like this?
Or an eyewear shop with a missing letter:

Have a great weekend guys, and keep exploring!
