Oosterpark, ingang Linnaeusstraat

A scenery shot from the Oosterpark, with in the background the church tower of the Muiderkerk.

Basically every district in Amsterdam has its own park. Out of all these parks, the Vondelpark and the Westerpark are probably the most famous. The Vondelpark is touristy, the Westerpark is home to several cultural institutes (like a cinema, and several galleries) and also hosts an annual concert festival (in summer). The Oosterpark is less well-known, and therefore a lot quieter. The only thing that has brought the Oosterpark some fame, is the high amount of drug addicts who roam around the asphalt paths that encircle the peaceful ponds and grassfields.

On the day that I took this picture, a drug addict walked onto the grass where I was sitting on, and threatened to step with his right foot onto the face of someone who was sunbathing.
