Amsterdam Canals Photo

Photographer’s Note

Amsterdam.
As I am living overseas, it's always good to go back and see Amsterdam. The longer you live overseas, the more it feels like being a tourist in my own country. This does have it's good sides too, you see details and things you otherwise always take for granted.
Little information about the canals:
Did you know that the city's water management flushes the canals twice per day with fresh water from the river.
Tech:
Little crop, brightened and saved for the web.

Nice shot Etienne, this seems to capture the canal side of Amsterdam perfectly. Interesting "did you know" fact in your notes too.

Hello Etienne,

Your scene is including one of clear and good view of typical Amsterdam corner. I like multi stories houses after the bridge and trees a lot. Blue sky and water canal is also so nice. Congratulations. I wish you a very good week.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

stately buildings .. old bridges with all sorts of personality .. my favorite is the splash of orange on the roofs.

Dag Etienne,
Nice typical view from Amsterdam's canals under a sunny day. Great pov, colors and details. The only typical thing that lacks is a bicycle, but maybe there's already one somewhere in the picture ;-)
Thanks for sharing,
Rafael

Dag Etienne,

Ik kan mij best voorstellen wanneer u terug komt in Amsterdam u even onwennig voelt, maar het is zo een bewonderenswaardige stad, als Vlaming voel ik deze stad goed aan qua gebouwen, Brugge is een kleine copy van Amsterdam, ik vind uw foto zeer mooi en realistisch opgebouwd, goede kleuren en excellente compositie. Bedankt voor uw bezoek.µ

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John.

Hi Etienne. This looks like the Holland in all the travel brochures, tall thin houses, canals and bridges. Good composition and colour. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.
