stormdogA request for help.
One of my favorite things has always been to go out and see *things*. Weird things, cool things, art things, architecture things, infrastructure things. But lately I have had absolutely no motivation to do nearly *anything*. I have no motivation to go see things for myself.
I like doing things for other people. I love being needed or wanted or appreciated. I think we can combine those things. Are there things here in Amsterdam or surrounds you'd like to see? That you'd like pictures of, or a first-hand description of? Tell me what you'd like to see or know about and I'll see if I can get there.
There's a service like this for getting pictures of gravestones. If you want to see a gravestone that's far away from you, you can post a request for someone to take a picture for you. I've always loved that idea; of helping someone far away feel closer to something they care about or are interested in. Maybe I can do that for you.
If there's something you're curious about, let me know. I can get to anywhere in Amsterdam by bike, and possibly surrounds, especially to the north. Maybe take a look at Google Maps, or Atlas Obscura, or architecture guides, and let me know if there's something I can see for you.
My first bicycle here was named Curiosity, in partial honor of the Mars probe by that name. Maybe I can be *your* curiosity if mine isn't managing to get past the depression very well. If you want to pass this along to other folks, please do, or relay their requests to me. I need to get outside for *something*.

Date: 2021-01-28 10:16 am (UTC)I read about the penis fountain! I wanted to see it, but it looks like it was removed some time back. Such a sad loss of art. *grins*
I'm worried about going inside places with Covid happening, but I've wanted to see De Poezenboot since before I moved here. The Totalitarian Art Gallery would be interesting too.
