kickniko 0 Posted July 23, 2006 Yes, yes, yes! That's my Amsterdam! One of the cities that can claim to have their own very special character! And this is one of the views that explain without words what that character is! Great! Link to comment
sambal 0 Posted August 3, 2006 Nick, although being an original Amsterdammer, I find it rather difficult to photograph that city due to its narrow, cluttered streets & canals. Yet, yes indeed, this one is not too bad. Thanks for your comments & appreciation. Cheers, Sam. Link to comment
kickniko 0 Posted August 21, 2006 But Sam, this is exactly what makes Amsterdam! It is there, with its own character and heart, and still constistently refuses to change and become some big city with conceptionaly greatly arranged roads. Look to what happened to London. The old telefon cabines are ripped away, the old double deckers were removed - yes, I admit that the new ones are "better", in the technological sense, they are up to date, etc, but a big part of that heart of London was really mercilessly taken away. (I hope they will not remove the fog - oh my!) But perhaps it's only that I'm getting old, after all ;-) Cheers, Nick Link to comment
sambal 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Nick, congrats! You're not only getting slightly older, but lots wiser too - and not sadder, I hope! Thanks for your thoughts. Cheers, Sam. Link to comment
maria 7 Posted May 18, 2013 Hi Sam, thanks a lot for your comment and help!Lovely these church towers reflected in water. I've just candidated with some, but in Delft for this month's photo contest :)I think that the canals add that the city doesn't have such narrow streets as you were saying.kind regardsMaria Link to comment
sambal 0 Posted May 18, 2013 Yeah, Maria,the city of my birth surely has it's charms.Only, I feel, when you have lived there for a long time, you may have become so used to them that you don't see them anymore.Success with your photo contest entries!cheers!Sam Link to comment
