Sinterklaas has arrived

Posted 2015-11-14

I wanted to try out my new 55-200 mm lens, so I went to see the arrival of Sinterklaas at the Scheveningen harbor. Here in Holland Sinterklaas is a big deal (read about it on Wikipedia), I didn't quite realize how big a deal until I saw all these thousands of kids that came to see his arrival. Of course our mayor Jozias van Aartsen welcomed Saint-Nicolas.

Hold on to your hat, Sinterklaas, it's pretty windy!
