This weekend I went out for a walk in the Jordaan neighbourhood, and I have to say that I was amazed by how much green there is still on the streets and on the canals. I was expecting more yellow leaves, more autumn-like scenery. But not yet. Maybe in a week or two. The green is starting to fade away and is slowly replaced by yellow and red. We just have to be patient 🙂

Nevertheless, the city looked as pretty as always. A few signs of autumn at the market, a few fallen leaves, and a lot of sun and good mood.
