During a business trip in Almere, I had the chance to visit Amsterdam for the first time and enjoyed the amazing network of channels passing through the city. I want to share with you Amsterdam in a black and white mood.

Amsterdam

Just across from the central station, a narrow channel offers you this beautiful view.

************

Amsterdam Canal

It is easy to distinguish Amsterdam from Venice: bicycles are everywhere! But pay attention, the cyclist is king of Amsterdam streets!

************

Amsterdam Houseboats

Originally, houseboats were an inexpensive way to deal with the Amsterdam housing shortage. Nowadays, however, they are in high demand. Some houseboats were once cargo vessels that have been converted to houseboats.

************

Amsterdam Bridge

Everything can be transformed into a bicycle rack, even a bridge!

************

Amsterdam Channel Cruise

You cannot visit Amsterdam without taking the channel cruise; the rain through the window creates a melancholic atmosphere.

Amsterdam Swan

    Lovely! The rain on the window photo really captures a dreamy, brooding effect. And the composition is great.
