Typical Amsterdam buildings

    I'm back! Me and my wife had a great time in Amsterdam last week, although I was attending an IT course for most of the day. During the next days, expect me to post some of my favorite shots of this city, which I found wonderful inspite of the fact that it lacked the green and blue colors (leaves and sky) which I'm sure I would've experienced had I visited a bit later, during springtime. It'll take a while before I manage to get through all my contacts' photostreams to see what I missed, so please bear with me :-)

    These are your typical Amsterdam buildings, lining the sides of the canals. I loved these narrow and tall structures, all built following the same design logic, but each different than the next, each having its own character.

      Interesting architecture. The houses are literally squeezed together.
      Nice sharpness. Did you use the macro lens to take that one?

    22. Zinnia. (76 months ago | reply)

      beautiful.
      I love ths tall and thin buildings.
      they have a certain comfortable cosy feeling about them

      You wont see much of the green & blue colors of Amsterdam often, but when the sun does shine, it truly becomes a beautiful city. Very nice picture!

      I like the vertical feel of this too -- and the variations in the styles and colors of the buildings.

      You shot so many different styles of buildings and yet this is a unity. It's typical Amsterdam. Great shot. You can come back in spring or summer and you will see a total different city around the canals.

      房子排成一列,不同的造型及顏色,爭奇鬥豔,我喜歡左邊的那一棟房子,看起來就像是一棵聖誕樹, 哈哈...謝謝你的分享
      The house forms a line, different model and color, vie with each other for glamour, I like that house on the left, it seems to be just like a Christmas tree, HA HA ...Thank your sharing
