Pieces from my travels: Amsterdam

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Hi Steemians!

In my second post, I'd like to introduce a series of photos from my travels. The series for each country or city will be ongoing because I take over hundreds of photos. Rather than sharing them all in one post, I'll be picking out 5-10 of my favorite photos for each post.

I'll start it off with Amsterdam.

Narrow streets. Beautiful canals. Bicycles everywhere you go. Each building is unique in its own way just like the houses and apartments in San Francisco. I could see that Amsterdam is probably the SF of Europe and I could tell its booming with startups. Amsterdam is not just about that, but it also has a rich history.

Fun fact: Did you know there are so many bikes in the canals? Boats literally fish them out.

There is always something to see in every street that I walk into and Amsterdam is one those cities that I'd like to get lost in.

I told myself that Amsterdam would probably be the first place I'd settle in if I were to move in Europe. 🙃 It also looks as expensive as San Francisco. 😭

My first impression of this city is seeing how many bikes are out in the streets.

The Red Light District before it gets wild.

Goodnight wherever you are.

@russellbanal fantastic photos; I like that bicycle everywhere :)

Thank you! Definitely love the bicycle culture out there.

Great photos, I suggest more than 10 photos :) and a bit more info please:)

Definitely will add more to it in future posts! I guess this is more of a preview of whats to come. 😆

Thanks for sharing! these photos further stimulate me to visit Amsterdam hope soon I have not been yet. I definetely agree with you It's better to not concentrate in just one post all pictures of one trip. In particular if they are many I am doing the same not possible to summarize a trip in only post. You did a Very Good job!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm doing what I've been doing on Instagram by sharing pieces from my travels. Rather than sharing 10 to 100s of photos sequentially of the same city or country, I like to share other photos from other the countries I've visited. Hope you visit Amsterdam soon. Europeans are lucky to have so many countries close together.
