Traditional dress in the Nord-Holland town of Edam.
Here in the Netherlands, we're gearing up for Koningsdag or King's Day. Celebrations have begun honouring King Willem-Alexander. On Saturday, virtually the entire country will be awash in a sea of Orange!
All photographs taken at Edam's world-renowned kassmarkt or cheese market. Click images to view detail.
Beautiful photos, Tara, just beautiful. Thank you.

What utterly lovely photographs. The sweet and handsome faces do make me smile. Love seeing the cheese floating in the boat, how lovely and delicious. What a wonderful celebration.;

Tara, these are the most fabulous character studies. I suppose they call it King's Day, now. I'm having such glorious memory flashbacks!
