I’ve had this photo of Amsterdam stuck in my head lately, so this weekend I went and found it to share. This photo to me says “Amsterdam” maybe in a way that no other does. It’s the bike, the architecture. But not only that, I love that the bike is personalized. In a place with so many bicycles, a few people went a little step beyond to make theirs recognizable. With flowers, ribbon, special paint jobs. Bicycle as transportation, but also as a means of personal expression. I love it!
Capturing the Feel
While yesterday’s image of the Eiffel tower tells you where it is from without even needing to describe it. Would you know this was from Paris? It’s more subtle. It’s the feel of it… the lamppost, the architecture of the building. Now that we’ve been there, it says Paris to me. I like the light, dramatic angle and the sky in this one too. It’s one of my favorites from our first visit.
