So this is the Birthday thread!

Post all of your birthday shout outs here! Friends, family, famous and not so famous, anybody.

I'll start it off with a bang and a big Birthday shout out to...... (drum roll).....Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (July15th,1606 – October 4, 1669)!



He painted some phenomenal works of art and this is probably his most famous, "The Night Watch". If you ever get to Amsterdam and go to the Rijks Museum (well worth your time, especially baked) and see some of this masters work UP CLOSE. His ability to paint in blacks is unmatched by any peer. This painting had me standing for at least 30 minutes unable to pull away from it. It's that intriguing!

So happy B-Day Rembrandt!

So anyone you want to recognize or just give an alert to everybody, do it here.

The Rembrandt museum is one of my favorite places to go in Amsterdam. Nice pic!

I took some excellent pics when i was there. Up in Arnhem there is a small but very worthwhile museum and they had the Van Gogh "Sunflowers" so close to me without any glass...it was simply amazing. I got one pic off and the guard told me to stop. At the Rijks, they had no problem as long as I didn't use a flash. Holland was the crossroads and main junction of Europe for many years, and it shows.
