Brooklyn photographer Spencer Tunick, known for
photographing thousands of naked people in public settings
worldwide, is at it again, this time in Amsterdam. The Siyney Morning Herald reports:

Dozens of women posed naked on their bicycles on a bridge overone of Amsterdam's historic canals on Sunday - a unique sight evenin a city famed for its relaxed attitude toward nudity and sex.

They were among 2000 men and women who participated in a seriesof four nude group photos in the city in the early hours of themorning as part of the latest project of US photographer SpencerTunick.

The first and largest composition was in a decidedly prosaiclocation: a parking garage on the outer ring of the city.
