Open Tower Day with a Tall Friend...

I was thrilled that I managed to pull off a big birthday surprise for Jimmy: Phil, his college buddy and Best Man at our wedding, arrived for a 24-hour visit at the end of a business trip. Perhaps it was fitting that it was Open Tower Day as Phil towers over most of us. Our first stop was the headquarters of Dutch bank ABN Amro in Amsterdam.

I really loved this mirror ball sculpture...

...with the unexpected shoes at the bottom.

Whether near...

...or far, the views from the 24th floor were pretty cool.

This is as close to an official portrait as I managed to capture of Jimmy and Phil.
