I drive through there on a regular basis (4 or so times/year) so it was awesome to see it from a different perspective. Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

akiwi Cream of the Crop More info | Mar 19, 2013 02:23 | #6650 I was reading recently in Time magazine that Amsterdam / Holland was the first city to set up dedicated cycle paths etc, due to lack of parking space, and therefore encouraged people to use bicycles... which worked. Peter

We are a nation of cyclists. Always have been. There is a, what do you call it, Federation or Union of Cyclists that looks after the interests of cyclists and they are the ones making sure we can ride our bicycles safely. They're the ones pressing local authorities, municipalities etc. to create cycle paths where there are none. So it's really the other way around.

Mar 19, 2013 14:10 | #6659 I probably won't have too much to shoot until I get back to school. There's one more thing at home that I'd like to shoot, but I don't know if I can get out to it. α7R IV | Σ 24-70 f/2.8 | Σ 150-600 f/5-6.3 | Σ 14-24 f/2.8 | 1D MkIII | 430EX II | 24-70 f/2.8L | 70-200mm f/2.8L IS

(4 edits in all) | Mar 19, 2013 18:34 | #6660 Hello all. A new batch from Amsterdam.  20130317_5D+Nifty_228 by Levina de Ruijter, on Flickr#2 The name tag on the bridge.  20130317_5D+Nifty_231 by Levina de Ruijter, on Flickr#3 These bridges are drawbridges so they open if ships need to pass.  20130317_5D+Nifty_239 by Levina de Ruijter, on Flickr#4 Turning right and a bit beyond is Het Scheepvaartmuseum (The National Maritime Museum) and The Amsterdam, a replica of an 18th century cargo ship of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). I wanted both in one shot, but needed two shots for that of course so this is a two shots stitch. The Museum is absolutely wonderful and should not be missed when visiting Amsterdam.  20130317_5D+Nifty_241_243_Stitch by Levina de Ruijter, on Flickr#5 The ship The Amsterdam alone. It started its maiden voyage from Texel to Batavia on 8 January 1749, but was wrecked in a storm on the English Channel on 26 January 1749. The shipwreck was discovered in 1969 in the bay of Bulverhythe, United Kingdom, and is sometimes visible during low tides. The wreck site is protected under the Protection of Wrecks Act since 1974. Some of the findings from the site are in the Shipwreck and Coastal Heritage Centre in Hastings. A replica of the ship is on display in Amsterdam. (from the Wiki)  20130317_5D+Nifty_245b by Levina de Ruijter, on Flickr#6 This is the Montelbaanstoren, the Montelbaans Tower. The origin of the name is unknown. Its nickname is "Malle Jaap" (Daft Jaap) because the bells in the tower would toll at irregular intervals. The tower was built in 1516 and part of a stronghold to protect the city. It lost this function in 1606. In 1610 Hendrik de Keyser, the city's architect, added the decorative renaissance style top. Rembrandt, who lived near, drew the tower in 1644 but without De Keyser's top. From 1878 until 2006 the city's Water Office was located in the tower. Now the tower houses a private foundation.  20130317_5D+Nifty_256 by Levina de Ruijter, on Flickr#7 This is De Waag, ("Weigh House") a 15th-century building at Nieuwmarkt square in Amsterdam. It was originally a city gate and part of the walls of Amsterdam. The building has also served as a guildhall, museum, fire station and anatomical theater, among others. The Waag is the oldest remaining non-religious building in Amsterdam. The building has held Rijksmonument (i.e. listed as part of our National Heritage and thus protected) status since 1970. The Waag is depicted in Rembrandt's 1632 painting The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. The surgeons' guild commissioned this painting for their guildhall in the Waag.
