President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, along with members of the national security team, receive an update on the mission against Osama bin Laden in the Situation Room of the White House, May 1, 2011. Photo by Pete Souza.

I just love this photo. This caption you see above is the original caption provided by the White House for this photo (One out of 8 images revealed by the White House). My opinion is that it doesn’t do this fascinating scene much justice. Notice the scrambled/pixelated print on the laptop. Click on the photo to see it bigger.

Amsterdam, the Dam — 16 April 2011. The City participated in the national protest/manifestation against Nuclear Energy. Many Amsterdam residents and people from neighbor cities gathered at the central Dam square to join the word and shout to the Government to stop the plans for new Nuclear Energy Plants. This was hardly the type of event we use to know from 15-20 years ago were images of people protesting in the streets and violent rallies breaking loose between the Police and the demonstrators, were marked in everyone’s memory.

Yesterday, as you probably know, was the Worldcup final between Holland and Spain. A very important game for Holland and the first WK final since 32 years! Museumplein (Museum Square) is the central place in Amsterdam if you want to watch the game in the outdoors among oh couple of thousands of football supporters. A bit intimidating for me, but I went to check it out and this is my impression of the day.
Quite a lot of photos for this rather “tight edit”, so enjoy.
