This is a photo of a hat shop in Maastricht, Netherlands named La Passionara, which seems to translate as: to explode or fly into a passion.  I assume a passion for hats.  I have walked by this shop many times exploring the town, and have always enjoyed the multitude of hats layered one on top of the other, in the shop window.  In a web search I came across a short video by the owner of the shop on google video, here it is… La Passionara.  Businesses like this one have a hard time surviving here.  I have a retail shop, I know.   However, in these small European towns, the individually owned shops seem to be doing fine.  I’m glad as what would late night strolls be without interesting shop windows to inspire and delight.  Click on photo to enlarge.
