Holidays in Amsterdam, and the Rijksmuseum

Here are some pictures with holiday lights around Amsterdam and from the Rijksmuseum.

Have a look at this Rembrant from the left, and then this view from the right, and notice that no matter where you stand the eyes appear to be staring right at you.

Most of the Rijksmuseum is closed right now due to renovations. The part that is open only takes about and hour to run through.
