Another view from the pier at the north end of Nemo. Two people are fishing in the fresh water which fills the docks and canals. A double-decker train is passing in front of the glass passenger terminal for cruise liners like the Costa Europa, moored here. | |

It's better to come down here after an expedition starting at the Departure Hall and visiting decks 1, 2, 3 and 4. Nemo describes itself as a voyage of discovery between fantasy and reality. Start at the Departure Hall with its café and free toilets! | |

This bird had only just taken off, possibly startled by a noisy motor scooter. | |

More wildlife, but this time in the Amsterdam Botanical Garden. The transparent butterfly posed just long enough for me to take the picture. Its wings are closed together here, almost touching as it rests on the leaf. | |

The Hortus is much smaller than Edinburgh's Botanics but is worth a visit and dates from 1638. The butterflies here are in the educational house. This species of butterfly was more plentiful than the see-through ones. | |

This is the actual dress worn by the woman botanist who wore it in a hot, humid environment as reproduced in this greenhouse. I took several pictures and had to wipe my steamed-up lens for this one, photographed from a little wooden bridge. I used Photoshop to remove the two wires suspending the dress. | |

No particular reason for my choosing this picture, I just like the unpretentious boat and its fishy name. | |

Homes like this could provide an idyllic Bohemian lifestyle. Who needs a car when you can pop off to the shops in a small boat instead? |
