Today, on December the 5th, the Dutch celebrate Sinterklaas. In the past month, I noticed that this occasion is somehow anticipated quite a bit.

These photos were taken between the 27th of August 2025, when I arrived in Amsterdam, and the 26th of October, before my first temporary visit of Prague. I brought my camera with me everywhere, sometimes taking one picture, sometimes three, usually none at all. I used my Olympus OM-2n with 50 mm lenses and Kodak…
