the "negen straatjes" neighbourhood in amsterdam (actually rather misleadingly named, since it is not nine little streets at all, but three slightly-less-little streets that capriciously change their names each time they cross a canal)
is a few square blocks of paradise for people who like to shop,
people who like to eat, people who like to linger at waterside cafés,
people who like to take pictures, people who like people, and people who like all of the above.
like me.
It sounds like a wonderful place to visit. And that peeling paint... you've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteyeah, those buildings are amazing. i'm drooling. and how nice to find red and green paint together! :)
ReplyDeleteActually, I think your entire country is a paradise for people who like to take pictures! Great shots, as usual. Wish I were sailing on the IJsselmeer again this summer...
ReplyDeleteVery nice series.

Great series. I hope these are hanging somewhere in your house.
ReplyDeleteFantastic as usual... I especially have a love of that first photo of the buildings framing the cloudy blue sky.. wide angle?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love those layers of chipping paint in the last. There's a sad beauty to items and things that have been disregarded and ignored.
This series is great. Fantastic colors in each photo. I really like the angle on the boat photo. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteLove the series... color and texture, two of my favs. :) Beautiful.
ReplyDeletelooks like a puzzle!

Amsterdam is so picturesque and you've really done it justice. It's a beautiful series.
