What is the essence of this city’s beauty for an Amsterdamian like me? That’s not difficult to decide, however it was quite difficult to choose photos to properly represent it: the old buildings, like toy houses when seen in pictures at a small scale; the bicycles, coming in all shapes and sizes; the romantic canals and bridges; a swan dancing on the water at sunset… or the incredible light enveloping them all. Perhaps it’s the unique entrances with their ubiquitous bicycles and flower pots in front, the mirror-like windows and the cats; the bricks; the clouds; the people; but most of all the unique feeling that Amsterdam gives you.
