Nearly 13 years old and a first time seller. Tempus fugit! Photographed April 2010.
This is sale number five on Alamy in 2023 – the usual slow start to the year. I expect things to be back to normal towards the end of the month when newspaper and magazine sales from November and December are finally reported.
Unusually, I don’t recall taking this actual shot. Normally I recognise all my images instantly and the events that surround them.

I do recall going into that cafe in the background and eating herrings and other seafood and how friendy the owner was. I then got back on my hired bike and faced a stiff headwind going back via De Waal to the main settlement of Den Burg.
