A strong, chilly wind blew in from the east thus bringing clear, blue skies. Whilst much of Europe had rain at the end of April, Amsterdam looked great. I hired an old Dutch bike and although it was a nightmare to steer or bring to a halt it was a very handy prop for photography. The main shot I wanted to get was an action shot taken on the bike as I pedalled along. After many attempts I muddled by with tying a tripod to the back-rack - whilst keeping well clear of any speed bumps!
