... sunny moment in an otherwise furiously snowing Amsterdam weather...

I do not think that it is necessary to introduce this famous town to you, so only few brief facts about it:

Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands. Its name is derived from "Amstel dam", pointing to the city's origin: a dam on the river Amstel. The city is known for its historic port, the Rijksmuseum, its red-light district (de Wallen), its liberal coffeeshops, and its many canals which have led to Amsterdam being called the "Venice of the North". During the Dutch Golden Age, Amsterdam was one of the most important ports in the world, with innovative developments in trade, and became the leading centre for finance and diamonds.

The city, founded in the late 12th century as a small fishing village, has grown to become the largest city in the Netherlands with a population of 743,104 inhabitants, containing at least 172 nationalities.

Amsterdam and its surrounding metropolitan area have a population of 1 million to about 1.5 million people, depending on definition, and is part of the Randstad conurbation, which has a population of 6,659,300.

... and once more I'll say - very well done! the two trees frame the façade of the building, while the clear spring light brings out colours and details. the canal in the foreground with the bridge is a nice addition to lead the eye into the shot. excellent work, Ivana, as usual.

with kind regards,
Kristine

Ivana,
Great use of these colorful frontages here.
I like the colors contrasts and how you framed them against the blue sky.
Regards,
JB.

Hello Ivana,

Des façades colorées et lumineuses qui tranche avec le premier plan sombre. J'aime bien cette rue qui semble vraiment très belle. Les maisons sont typiques et donne envie d'en voir plus.

Superb and refreshing with neat colours and tones. Wonderful work indeed with a lovely pov and a sight to behold

Hi Ivana.
A very nice shot from your collection of Dutch photos. Of course it looks like Amsterdam immediately! The colour and light are lovely. I like to see so much activity on the bridge, and the bare trees break the line of roofs very nicely. And that little boat through the bridge! So much detail. Wonderful shot.
Regards,
Andrew
