this was early morning, yesterday. it was about to rain, or probably already raining back there... but in reaity the rainbow looked better, ofcourse....
on either side of the apartment are similar apartmet blocks. when i took the photo, i saw the guy opposite from us busy in the kitchen. i hope he didnt think i was taking a picture of him! (but it prevented me from taking more pics...). on the other side we have the living room and some big windows. the apartment straight across from us is for sale, and the other weekend it had "open house", so people were coming on and off to check it out (its old and overpriced, not in the best neighborhood. but... in amsterdam and supposedly this neighborhood is "up and coming"). we were having lunch and i thought they could not really see us as the blinds were down. but... 2 girls started waving frantically, when we were watching them all.... good to know!
in our apartment in boston we never closed the blinds. our apartment was on a corner (and the windows, espcially in the bedroom, a bit smaller); no other apartments in sight. i definitely liked that better..... i do have to admit its fun to study your neighbors, from many i more or less know their habits when at home (or at least some of them), even though i have no clue who they are or what they do, and never see them on the street or something!

You see many rainbows now with that mix of rain and sunshine. But I agree, I am always disappointed by the photos I made of them. The real thing is always better, so I am sure yours looked much brighter in reality. So they are selling the apartments there. It is a shame that there are less rental houses left in Amsterdam.
Terrific rainbows in this photo. I lived one year in an apartment facing another apartment across a park. It was odd having people living in plain view.
Nice rainbow! I'd rather have a view than look into other people's homes.
