antlers

This beast was showing off a fine set of antlers.
It was a bit of a surprise to find a wildlife park in the centre of The Hague next to the train station,

shutters

I am pretty certain of the kind of cheap souvenirs one would find behind these shutters, but the shutter designs are a nice touch. Seen after hours in one of the many alleys off Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal in Amsterdam

Once upon a time there were three billy goats, who were to go up to the hillside to make themselves fat, and the name of all three was "Gruff."
