The Port of Amsterdam..... the photos

well, my trip to the Uk didn't go as the original plan, I ended up staying 3 weeks instead of one.

By the time of my return the flight availability was different so instead of spending 36 hours in Amsterdam I only spent about 9.

It wasa miserable day, rain, hail stones, a bit of sun and an occassional glimpse of blue sky.

here are some of the photos (in no particular order) but it was cold and eventually I retired to a bar and sampled some local and Belgian wares....

Cafe Belgique a Belgian beer Bar near Dam Square, great beers, nice atmosphere. Quite proud of this picture, hand held from the stairs to the bathroom whilst under the influence.

nice pics :chitown::):):):):):)

Brilliant photo's. Still on stop below I would imagine.Gives great skies.

Great pics BC. I recall my first time in Amsterdam wondering why all the houses had those crane lifts on the front of every house. Soon found out and all made sense.

Generally i used 2/3 of a stop and GND filter for most of these

Summer hasn't quite reached Europe yet, nice photos though.

^ Not anymore. Excellent pic's indeed Bc. I really liked Amsterdam, although perhaps observed thru' rose tinted spectacles after time in the Bulldog Cafe and similar establishments. :)

Where are the coffee shops photos ? The most interesting places to visit in Dam...

:-)

Fantastic pix how much for the gear or are you a pro photographer?

Also knew most of the places bar the 3 story gallery shopping place/boers?
Anyone know it?

It's the same place as the first outside pic.

The gear is expensive I guess, but no I'm not a pro, maybe one day.

Thanks yes been there it was Post office in my time
Magna Plaza, a Post Office building turned shopping center in Amsterdam.

Lived and worked there for 3 years in the 70's - looks exactly like I remember it .

thanks
