I took this picture in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. It’s the Erasmus Bridge, the connection between the north and the south side of Rotterdam. In this picture, I tried to create the feeling that this bridge makes the connection between the two sides of the city.

Il Giudizio Finale. Il mio, in questo caso, è che è un crimine pubblicare una foto così piccola di un capolavoro come questo. C’è però da dire che l’effetto vedo non-vedo potrebbe spingere qualcuno a fare un salto in persona al @Rijksmuseum e, più in generale, ad Amsterdam per venire a salutarmi. #AD Offro tour guidati dei principali musei, dove oltre ad un caffè offerto, potrete provare il brivido di stalkerare persone mentre provo a fotografarle a loro insaputa.

I captured this short of Amsterdam’s beautiful Waterways and bridges while taking a canal tour. I loved the straight aways that were full of bridges upon bridges! The warm colors and reflective water were incredible.

I’ve been to Amsterdam with some friends. We had lots of fun, not just because of the weed. So at the last evening we went back to our hotel and on the way to the Central Station i took this last shot.

This is a typical Amsterdam sight that never bores. Especially in summer when the trees cover the canals making it feel cosy and village-like. Just walk the streets and enjoy the great views.

Waterway in 't Smalle, Netherlands

  36 km from Leiden


Walking home after deciding to abandon my bicycle due to the severe snowfall in Amsterdam today, I saw the city in an entirely different light. The city’s first real taste of snow this season has not disappointed and I feel this picturesque town is even more magical covered with a layer of the white stuff. It does a great job of keeping the tourists at bay, too.

Amsterdam is a bright city full of life that is to say when it’s not raining. It seems to truly be one of the global hubs where when you walk the streets you will definitely notice the prevalence of cultural variety. Oh and it’s also quite pretty.

When I arrived in Amsterdam I grabbed my camera and threw it over my shoulder and went out to explore by bike. after about a hour of riding and taking pictures I stopped at this bridge to look around and the bike leaning on the bridge railed seemed iconic in its summation of the Dutch lifestyle.

travelers stories about Town in Damrak, Netherlands

Town in Damrak, Netherlands

  36 km from Leiden


These pretty houses are located near the central station of Amsterdam in a street we call the ‘Damrak’. They are centuries old, but somehow remain standing even though some have sagged a bit. What you see here is actually the back of the houses, where it was easy for ships to reach the storages. When passing here I always take a minute to admire these buildings.

The whole Netherlands is locked down and turn Amsterdam into a (almost) ghost town. Please stay home, practise social distancing and hopefully everything can get back to normal soon.
