From the Vaults-108
Finally entering into the home stretch of my re-editing journey through the Netherlands and the finalization of my “Dutch Masters” process, this image 3rd to last is of the Amstel near the Halvemaansbrug and is what I consider the geographic heart of Amsterdam.
The canal belt or Grachtengordel (Canal Girdle) in Dutch, is a World Heritage protected site and this portion of it pictured here is called the Grachtengordel-Zuid and lucky for me and my camera had to be crossed to get to my accommodations in the De Pijp.
Whenever I stay in the city I like to stay a little off the beaten track and the De Pijp section of Amsterdam offers a bohemian experience, much cheaper accommodations and a small taste of life in the city without throngs of tourists as well as some the best outdoor markets in Europe.
They say all roads lead to Rome but in this case all Amsterdam canals lead to the Amstel and rightly so, it’s the namesake of the city, the canal cleaner and the waterway that propelled the city to greatness.
I took this on Sept 10th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 36mm 13 sec f/9 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO
