King's Day landscape

The 6th and final part of my Dutch landscapes series.
On the 27th of April the Netherlands will erupt in madness again, we're celebrating the king's birthday! We do this by dressing in orange, selling old junk, music, and parties everywhere in the streets and in the canals. It's loads of fun.
What I love most about it is everyone's coming together and having a great time. It's a party by the people, for the people, celebrating all together.
Especially in the city centers of big cities it's complete madness —in a good way— with the canals and streets flooded with orange people and podiums with live music.
