Sinterklaas visits Utrecht, 15 November 2008 http://spl.smugmug.com/gallery/6558791_ffKgM/ <html>I happened to be in the right place at the right time to catch <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas">Sinterklaas</a> arriving in Utrecht near the <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Vredenburgmarkt.jpg">Vredenburg market</a>. Unfortunately, I didn't happen to have my camera with me, since I didn't know it was going on. So, we must suffice with these photos from my mobile phone.</html> http://www.smugmug.com/img/feed-icon.png Holidays Sat, 15 Nov 2008 07:20:19 -0800 Sat, 15 Nov 2008 07:21:51 -0800 http://www.smugmug.com/ Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
