After dark, Amsterdam’s streets have a very cosy look and feel. I love how the orange light...

The Calm after the Storm: Light Festival by Boat

by Dana Marin | Feb 1, 2018 | All Photos, Culture and Events | 0

The Light Festival was on the verge of ending and I hadn’t seen more than two of the artworks. I didn’t like that there was no map on their website to signal where the exhibits were displayed as in the previous years, and...

The beauty of a winter evening

by Dana Marin | Jan 3, 2018 | All Photos, Amsterdam | 2

I keep going back and perusing the pictures I took in the few days of snow that Amsterdam had this winter. The ones I took in the evening are my favourites. This city has a special glow in the evening light and the snow only...

A snowy evening in Amsterdam

by Dana Marin | Dec 15, 2017 | All Photos, Amsterdam | 2

Snow in Amsterdam is a rare thing. That’s why, when a snow storm hits, you don’t hide indoors, but go out and enjoy it! The snow melted a few days ago, but the social media in the Netherlands is still flooded with...

After the sunset: Monopoli

by Dana Marin | Jul 16, 2017 | All Photos, Travels | 0

When the sun begins to set, the entire town is covered in a purple light, which slowly turns orange as the hours pass by and the night falls. It is quite a view and I’m glad I had the chance to see a sunset in this little...

Night in Amsterdam

In the diffuse light of evening, Amsterdam looks even more romantic and cosy than during the day. I love how mysterious the city looks in the dark, I love the lights reflecting on each possible surface. I love the big windows...

Foggy afternoon on Westelijke Eilanden

After a glorious, sunny start of the day, a dense fog covered the city in the afternoon. Amsterdam in the fog is simply beautiful. I left work earlier and went for a walk around some of my favourite places in this city:...

An instant of Amsterdam — day 16

Strong wind and heavy rain today. I spent the day inside, watching the entire first season of Mr. Robot. This is the only view of the outside world I had: the bike parking — checking, from time to time, if my bike is still...

I’ll never trust Buienalarm app again! It made me miss my appointment tonight and arrive home soaked and frozen 🙁

A sea of lasers flooding Museumplein

A sea of light flooded Museumplein (Museum Square) tonight — just another way for the Rijksmuseum to celebrate the acquisition of a new painting. The lasers looked more like the Northern Lights for me, but I guess everyone...

The canals are smiling

One night I was walking through the streets of Amsterdam, smiling at the beauty of the city. And the city smiled back at me:

Christmas night in Amsterdam

by Dana Marin | Dec 27, 2014 | All Photos, Amsterdam | 0

Christmas night was a lovely and quiet one here, in Amsterdam. The streets were almost empty and the Christmas lights were shining here and there, not too much, but just enough to create a cosy atmosphere. Taking a stroll around...
