This was just something that came to mind after seeing the outpour of art resulting from the tragic events on Charlie Hebdo. However, I don't exactly know how people will perceive it. If this has already been drawn and or conceived of, or if it happens to outrage people, then I shall remove it.
This let me know that I was on the right path when trying to find The Comic Strip Museum in Brussels.

In Amsterdam there's The Rijksmuseum, which is like a mini Louvre. That being said, once you enter there happens to be a wonderful fixture?... above which changes the amount of natural light that is let in. Also, for some reason, this fixture has lights on it which don't seem to give off much illumination. These two shots are from different times of day, also consider that it was mostly cloudy all through out my trip in Amsterdam.

A big portion of Amsterdam looks pretty much the same because it's surrounded by canals. However, it always makes nice photo opportunities.

I stopped in De Nieuwe Kerk church in Amsterdam only to realize that they charge you to get in... I don't agree with that, and, furthermore I am not religious. However, I do enjoy and respect the architecture of these old churches. Anyhow, I was able to take a few picture behind the barrier and this particular gem was near the ceiling. It make me think of Chucky, and it's fucking creepy.

A small garden near the Rijksmuseum contained many tulips.

Amsterdam Centraal train station, plain and simple.

Metal blockades and red light come up and turn on a some point in the evening to prevent and cars from entering The Red Light District.

Seeing that photography in The Red Light District is pretty much prohibited, these were extra hard to shoot. Since windows/rooms are rented out to the prostitutes never be surprised as to where you can find one, big or small, I am talking about the size of the window.
Onward. The first shot is of a very tiny window which is only used to see the persons face... or boobs.
The second shot is of a row of windows, although I wasn't able to get a photo of the women, nor did I want to because I'd get my ass kicked by the women and men. Trust me, when it comes to photography and this place, nobody tolerates it.

My Mom was right when she told me to look out for the bikers in Amsterdam. They're fucking everywhere!!! I've never spent so much time look in every single direction before crossing a street that isn't even five feet wide. Moreover, that's not even taking into consideration the cars, buses, mopeds, trams, and pedestrians you also have to look out for when crossing anywhere.

Because I come from a cooking/baking family it was no shock that my Mom and I stopped in for a crepe in the cafe with the patron saint of baking above it.

Just a wide shot of Ghent from Gravensteen.

While my Mom and I were in line to buy tickets a Gravensteen I noticed their safety directions and could not resist taking a picture of this one.

Dulle Griet is a bar in Ghent that has some history. A drink that has been around for quite some time is called Max of the House, it is anywhere from 1.2 to 2 liters of beer, and, rumor has it that back in the day this beer was considered so expensive that it came close to the price of one shoe. So, tradition has been carried on in that when someone orders this massive beer they must forfeit one of their shoe which it held in a basket, hoisted near the ceiling. Once you've finished the beer, and paid for it, you get your show back.

I also don't know the name of this building, however, it is a church. More info to come...

Now I'm in Ghent and I have no idea what this building is, but, I thought it would make a nice picture.
