…y about it. We had a good summer and it feels only right to have a change of season now. I’m happily thinking about all the goodness fall is bringing: yellow leaves and foggy mornings, hazy afternoons, hot teas and soups, pies eaten by candlelight in cosy evenings. Let the autumn begin!

…and many other subjects. The lunch extended long in the afternoon, but we felt good in the cosy room at Bloem, we didn’t feel rushed to leave in order to make space for other hungry people. When we finally left, I decided to walk my way home, having in mind the goal of capturing the beauty of autumn, a bit in the pictures and a bit in my heart 🙂 Stay tuned for more and follow Amsterdamian on Instagram and Facebook for more stories about life in th…

…oll aimlessly for a while, before the meeting, noticing the first signs of autumn. It was the time before sunset, a peaceful and warm atmosphere, and I wasn’t in a hurry. I had a little moment of mindfulness, taking my time to observe the spiders hanging on their webs, the rose hips and the beautiful waxy fruits of a carob tree.

Another day off, another day-trip. This time, to the charming city of Utrecht, which I absolutely love. I enjoyed strolling around the cosy streets, walking alongside the Oudegracht (Old Canal) and perusing the little antiques&curiosa shops. Utrecht looks gorgeous in fall colours — the old trees bordering the canals shed their rusty leaves on the ground, the fluffy clouds give the city a dramatic look and you can walk around in awe without being…

…ards Bergen aan Zee. It’s a great place for a walk in any season, but this autumn I’ve seen it at its best. Fall of 2022, with its warm days enveloped in golden light from the generous sun, was a proper autumn season, although atypical for the Netherlands. I enjoyed it thoroughly and I am ready for the winter now. Before that, let’s just take one more look at the colours. Enjoy this virtual walk and let me know how you enjoyed autumn this year. St…

The Hague (or Den Haag in Dutch) is a city located on the North Sea, in the South-Holland province. It serves as the seat of the Dutch parliament and government, as well as the King’s residence. For tourists, there are a few important landmarks to visit, but I think The Hague is mostly a great city to live in. It feels more relaxed than Amsterdam, with a more residential atmosphere. It’s an elegant city, full of beautiful buildings, leafy streets…

…them changing from pale yellow to copper and brown. It’s been a beautiful autumn and I’m glad that the trees kept their colours for a while longer. There will be enough time to look at the sad, bare branches for the next few months! Frankendael park is one of my favourite parks in Amsterdam; it’s a park where you can admire a beautiful sunset, behind the trees and the Amstel towers, as you can see below. It’s a quiet park, and I love walking arou…

…aths, photographing the same views, and I was still in awe in front of the autumn colours, the canals and the people. The trees are not yellow yet; they have just a hint of autumn colours. So, no matter how many over-processed, orange pictures you see on Instagram, don’t believe them. There is a feeling of relaxation in the city, because no one is wearing masks anymore and we are allowed to be in restaurants, museums and cinemas. But I also got th…

…he streets; it was quiet and I felt very nostalgic — as I always feel when autumn comes. But it sure was no autumn, it was a beautiful April day instead, bringing with it the delight of walking through the flowers and leaves, playing and spreading them with my feet. It wasn’t raining, and just a soft breeze ruffled the leaves instead of the strong wind which is usual for Amsterdam. A perfect day to clear the mind, to think of everything and nothin…
