Fact of the day: Amsterdam is the most bike-friendly city in the world. Over 40% of all traffic in the city is by way of bicycle and there are almost 250 miles (400 kilometers) of bike lanes in the city.

Still on Nieuwmarkt :) Frankly, I'm very pleased with how this one turned out, it seems that all the images from the series Amsterdam By Night are more or less underexposed. I wish we had a little more time, they just began to decorate the city for the holidays. #Amsterdam

Amsterdam's culture of openness and eclecticism is enhanced by the opening of a new concept space - Basis - situated on Vijzelstraat, Basis officially opens this weekend. You can bring your own food and sometimes even your own music which could make for some very interesting evenings.

Living statues causing problems in Amsterdam


The municipality of Amsterdam will examine whether its policies for street artists can be tightened.

A sharp increase in the number of, primarily, East European street performers is causing much trouble in the city’s center.

In particular certain ‘living statues’ are said to regularly threaten or verbally insult onlookers who do not pay up.

The most awesome canal intersection in Amsterdam, at dusk with some fire lights

This is one of the many canal intersections in Amsterdam, Netherlands just after sunset. This was my favorite section of Amsterdam canals because they were narrow, lined with interesting buildings and house boats, and had cool bridges across them as you see here. The streaks of light in the water are from a boat that passed by while I was taking photos.

This is the intersection of Brouwersgracht and Herengracht canals (don't ask me how to pronounce them), just west of Amsterdam Centraal train station in the Jordaan section of Amsterdam. The Herengracht canal is one of the 4 main concentric half-circle canals that circle the center of the city. Brouwersgracht means "brewers' canal," so named because this canal used to have many breweries along it, most of which have now been... more »

Rembrandt: "One of the Great Prophets of Civilization."

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrɛmbrɑnt ˈɦɑrmə(n)soːn vɑn ˈrɛin], 15 July 1606[1] – 4 October 1669) was a Dutch painter and etcher. He is generally considered one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art history and the most important in Dutch history.[2] His contributions to art came in a period of great wealth and cultural achievement that historians call the Dutch Golden Age, when Dutch Golden Age painting, although in many ways antithetical to the Baroque style that dominated Europe, was extremely prolific and innovative.
Having achieved youthful success as a portrait painter, Rembrandt's later years were marked by personal tragedy and financial hardships. Yet his etchings and paintings were popular throughout his lifetime, his reputation as an artist remainedhigh,[3] and... more »

Augustus’ New Year Countdown Series: Amsterdam
The excitement of the holiday is obvious from the morning of December 31st; families and friends gather to begin the celebrations early. With the last festivities of the year being held in the home, the biggest festivities occur after the stroke of midnight, on the streets. The popular squares are meeting points filled well above capacity. As soon as the sun goes down, the sound of crackling is echoed from the more popular areas of Dam Square, Rembrandtplein, Nieuwmarkt and Leidseplein. Free-for-all fireworks displays illuminate the sky and even the spaces at eyelevel; as scary as it sounds, they are the most invigorating spots in the city. This is a surprising event to tourists, as they are often the majority of the spectators in the area. It should be noted that these events are loud and could be dangerous if the fireworks get out of hand, so Centrala... more »
