Sitting on the canals on a gorgeous October 18, 2022, in Amsterdam as the sun sets behind the H&M Flagship store on Rokin Street.Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities in the world. This photograph came during a three day visit which produced my newest travel story.
Here is an excerpt:
The capital of the Netherlands and the country’s most populous city, Amsterdam is at once an antique and a modern, vibrant town: The art, the energy, the 88 gorgeous canals. Stuffed with tulips and beer halls, charming cafes and world-famous “coffee” bars in which you can chat with friendly locals who speak perfect English and enjoy a rollicking good time. Walking the cobblestone streets along the canals is breathtaking. Throw in fall colors on top of the fairy-tale architecture and it is a visual paradise. You can begin to understand how Rembrandt and Van Gogh both came from this corner of the world. Jerry Howell, my instructor at Randolph Technical College, introduced me to Rembrandt in my first photography course. It was a moment of enlightenment. Thank you Mr. Howell.
