Thousands of people live in houseboats anchored in Amsterdam's canals, while others have been transformed into restaurants, bars, museums, and even gardens. : : : #travel #TravelPhotography #landscape #landscapephotography #FineArt #FineArtPhotography #documentary #DocumentaryPhotography #city #CityLife #Amsterdam #Netherlands #Europe #MyNomadicLife #canalsofAmsterdam #architecture #myfeatureshoot @amsterdam #iamsterdam #goAmsterdam

Amsterdam was originally a fishing village founded in the 12th century and much of the city is actually below sea level. : : : #travel #TravelPhotography #landscape #landscapephotography #FineArt #FineArtPhotography #documentary #DocumentaryPhotography #city #CityLife #Amsterdam #Netherlands #Europe #MyNomadicLife #canals #canalsofAmsterdam #reflection #architecture #myfeatureshoot @amsterdam #iamsterdam #goAmsterdam

Did you know... Many of Amsterdam's 16th and 17th century houses are slanted because they're built on long stilts buried deep in the wet, muddy soil surrounding the canals. : : : #travel #TravelPhotography #landscape #landscapephotography #FineArt #FineArtPhotography #documentary #DocumentaryPhotography #city #CityLife #Amsterdam #Netherlands #Europe #MyNomadicLife #canals #canalsofAmsterdam #reflection #architecture #myfeatureshoot @amsterdam #iamsterdam #goAmsterdam

Most of the original canals were dug in the 16th and 17th centuries during the Dutch Golden Age; originally intended for water management and defence, the canals that break up Amsterdam into about 90 islands defined by concentric circles are now used for transport and are the city's most popular tourist attraction. : : : #travel #TravelPhotography #landscape #landscapephotography #FineArt #FineArtPhotography #documentary #DocumentaryPhotography #city #CityLife #Amsterdam #Netherlands #Europe #MyNomadicLife #canals #canalsofAmsterdam #reflection #myfeatureshoot @amsterdam #iamsterdam #goAmsterdam

Did you know... There are over 100km of canals and over 1,000 bridges in Amsterdam? That's many more than Venice. : : : #travel #TravelPhotography #landscape #landscapephotography #FineArt #FineArtPhotography #documentary #DocumentaryPhotography #city #CityLife #Amsterdam #Netherlands #Europe #MyNomadicLife #canals #canalsofAmsterdam #reflection #myfeatureshoot @amsterdam #iamsterdam #goAmsterdam

I'm (figuratively) crossing the Atlantic from my city by the Caribbean to what easily became my favourite city in the world, Amsterdam. I'll be posting photos of my short trip to the Netherlands from last spring (2018) in the next few weeks mostly to indulge in my nostalgia but also because I haven't been out to take any (good) photos recently. 🤷🏻 I spent most of my time there just walking along the canals, admiring the city. Have you ever been to Amsterdam? What was your favourite thing about it? : : : #travel #TravelPhotography #landscape #landscapephotography #FineArt #FineArtPhotography #documentary #DocumentaryPhotography #city #CityLife #Amsterdam #Netherlands #Europe #MyNomadicLife #canals #canalsofAmsterdam #reflection #myfeatureshoot @amsterdam #iamsterdam #goAmsterdam
