Amsterdam is the capital and most populous city of the Netherlands with a population of 872,680[12] within the city proper, 1,380,872 in the urban area and 2,410,960 in the metropolitan area. Found within the province of North Holland, Amsterdam is colloquially referred to as the "Venice of the North", attributed by the large number of canals which form a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Amsterdam's name derives from Amstelredamme, indicative of the city's origin around a dam in the river Amstel. Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world in the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century and became the leading centre for finance and trade. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city expanded, and many new neighbourhoods and suburbs were planned and built. The 17th-century canals of Amsterdam and the 19–20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Sloten, annexed in 1921 by the municipality of Amsterdam, is the oldest part of the city, dating to the 9th century.
As the commercial capital of the Netherlands and one of the top financial centres in Europe, Amsterdam is considered an alpha-world city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) study group. The city is also the cultural capital of the Netherlands. Many large Dutch institutions have their headquarters there, including Philips, AkzoNobel, TomTom and ING. Also, many of the world's largest companies are based in Amsterdam or have established their European headquarters in the city, such as leading technology companies Uber, Netflix and Tesla. In 2012, Amsterdam was ranked the second best city to live in by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and 12th globally on quality of living for environment and infrastructure by Mercer. The city was ranked 4th place globally as top tech hub in the Savills Tech Cities 2019 report (2nd in Europe), and 3rd in innovation by Australian innovation agency 2thinknow in their Innovation Cities Index 2009. The Port of Amsterdam is the fifth largest in Europe. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is the busiest airport in the Netherlands, and the third busiest in Europe. Famous Amsterdam residents include the diarist Anne Frank, artists Rembrandt and Van Gogh, and philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange is the oldest stock exchange in the world. Amsterdam's main attractions include its historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, Hermitage Amsterdam, the Concertgebouw, the Anne Frank House, the Scheepvaartmuseum, the Amsterdam Museum, the Heineken Experience, the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, Natura Artis Magistra and Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam. They draw more than 5 million international visitors annually. The city is also well known for its nightlife and festival activity; several of its nightclubs (Melkweg, Paradiso) are among the world's most famous. It is also one of the world's most multicultural cities, with at least 177 nationalities represented

Ambulans Tolle philosophus .
Harmonias abstinentibus crudelitatis primitiva fabulas ,
fanaticorum deliria sacrificia fieri ,
quod communicant in cordibus stupebunt,
skepticism ut paradoxa facit mysteria flectere ,
cum signa contrariam satus super,
coepit benigniorem tuus contemptionem ostendunt ?
Cuius minimum gustum elit ,
Præcipitabit mortem tuam avertis inconcinnus doctrina ?
Finge hæsitationibus tuum sicut INDIFFERENS ora tumescere
indifferentiam intellectualiter periculosum general suus tenuit ,
propter venias ad obediendum GREGARIUS singuli quaerentes ,
jam tenaces philosophizers nolentes audire ,
ridiculum sententia tua pereas verbis subtilius hinc ,
haec TUMOROSUS ones designare obligando cessantibus oculo pietatis ,
Hactenus principia superfluo systematice irridebant values ,
derangement temperamenta ornare impatienter profundum abyssi ,
Dubius aures oratione opponit male,
Philosophus de facto indignatus explicationes apparet ,
Satis fucata haec sunt gradus ,
ambulare a repudium monstra furorem scholis ,
quibus animalium non vivere stridor dentium.

Can you help in a dermination ? I have strange amazing stones, I think they must be somewhat related to galena, but in a rare form ... limonite goethite pseudomorphs of galena with a path on marcassite pyrite ... is that possible ? some have the same core colour as a marcassite inside, but the outside is crystallised in galena forms ... ! they are find in limestone (old ocean 150 000 000 years old, fossil are commonly found) They are brownish red to black and rarely oxidised pyrite colour when freshly extracted from the broken calcareous stones.

Took this photo, using a Contax 60mm F/2.8 Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T* MM C/Y Mount Lens on my K5 (thanks to the Multi-mount PK+MM for Pentax weather sealed DSLR). (pict is processed and cropped.)
I use these great Carl Zeiss lenses : Distagon* 35mmF2.8 ; Sonnar* 135mmF2.8 ; a Planar* 50mmF1.4, and Makro-Planar 60mm F/2.8 on my Pentax K-5 thanks to this system !
Jakob Böhme (24 April 1575 – 17 November 1624) was a German philosopher, Christian mystic, and Lutheran Protestant theologian. He was considered an original thinker by many of his contemporaries within the Lutheran tradition, and his first book, commonly known as Aurora, caused a great scandal.
Böhme had a profound influence on later philosophical movements such as German Idealism and German Romanticism. Hegel described Böhme as "the first German philosopher".

The nicest parts of this long sakura path I think is where the canal curves.
The canal waters are very clean, you can clearly see large wild carp feeding on waterweeds at the canal bottom.
Tackling colors with this RAW, moving away from Sony defaults, beyond mere tweaks to hue and WB or colour balance, got to experiment.
The previous shot was still with default Sony colour profile.
Can't help but to also wonder if it's the overly cold colour signature of this Sony Zeiss 24-70mm f4.0, my shots with this lens never grew on me.

Described as a portrait of a Philosopher from 5th century. (Aphrodisias Museum )
The ancient city of Aphrodisias, once the capital of the province of Lydia, is located near the village of Geyre in the district of Karacasu . The history of the city can be traced back to the early bronze age and there is even clear evidence of a chalcolithic culture prior to the 3rd millennium B.C. The use of the name Aphrodisias began after the 3rd century B.C., in the Hellenistic period.
The wealth and cultural and political importance of the city is clearly attested by the size and magnificence of the buildings of which it is composed.The name Aphrodisias is derived from Aphrodite, the goddess of nature, beauty, love and plenty, and was one of the most famous cult centres of the goddess.
Aphrodisias was a center for the arts, specifically sculpture. The Aphrodisias School of Sculpture had a distinctive style and was very well circulated throughout the Greek and Roman world. Statues with corresponding signatures have been discovered from Spain to present day Germany and virtually everywhere in the Roman world.
The Aphrodisias Sculpting School was one of the most famous sculpting school in antiquity. Among the provocative pieces preserved today are statues of Aphrodite cradling a child like a loving mother; Hercules rippling his muscles; and a woman weeping, which symbolized the subjugation of the city by Rome. Any rich noblemen who donated money to the school was honored with a statue, and there are plenty of these, as well as some magnificent friezes and sarcophagi, in the museum.
The Aphrodisias sculpting school thrived for 600 years, and the high-quality marble for the sculptures was found in abundance in quarries only a few miles away. The sculptors, some scholars claim, were the world's the first true artists, meaning they didn't just copy other statues like many Greek and Roman sculptors; instead they made unique creations.
