Quite often we hear in the news the lament that “if only we would have enough vaccine!”.

There was a street that we walked down on our recent vacation in Amsterdam that had amazing and varied ‘urban art’ along it.  I couldn’t help but take a few photos!

A few days ago I posted an image of a door with urban art from my trip to Amsterdam. But the truth is that the entire building, of which the door was only a small part, was a work of art.  Based on the sign however, it seems like the Snake House is in danger! […]
