Your assignment, if you choose to accept it....As you are sorting through the various photos, 5 brownie points to those who can pick up on one item that shows up twice. (This blog will now self destruct in 5 seconds)
Still there? OK, first test. What is so unusual about this photo?
Oh yes, how did that get there???
I am confused, are you? Come on, pick a style and go with it!

Anybody pick on the item that repeated itself? Well, here's a clue...
And no it doesn't signify the "Red Light" district.
It is actually... The coat of arms of Amsterdam is the official symbol of the city of Amsterdam. It consists of a red and black shield with three silver Saint Andrew's Crosses, the Imperial Crown of Austria, two golden lions, and the motto of Amsterdam. Several heraldic elements have their basis in the history of Amsterdam. The crosses and the crown can be found as decorations on different locations in the city. Read more about it here:
