An elephant was born today at #Artis zoo in #Amsterdam and he's making the funniest WTF-where-am-I-OMG faces

A newborn elephant between his mother's legs. His body is covered b a very light fur, particularly over his head and on his legs. Only his right eye is visible, towards the viewer, and it gives it a very funny perplexed and somewhat anxious expression.

We took Odin on the tram to the Christmas market. He doesn’t photograph well at night (this was the best photo), but rest assured he got so, so many cuddles from random tourists tipsy on glühwein #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon #amsterdam

One of four LEGO dioramas at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam depicting different scenes from Van Gogh's life; this one shows him painting "Sunflowers in a Vase".

A photograph of a LEGO diorama at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, depicting Van Gogh, seated in a chair, using his brush to estimate dimensions as he paints his still life "Sunflowers in a Vase" on an easel next to him. Two other paintings appear on the walls, along with a green-painted window, numerous letters are "floating" around him and on the floor, and a small case with tubes of paint sits beneath the flowers he's painting.

The weather machine must be broken — there was real, unfiltered sunlight in Amsterdam in December

For a few hours anyway… it was rising in my eyes when we left at 10:30 and it was setting in my eyes when we returned at 12:30 #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon #amsterdam
