Amsterdam canal and reflections of trees and moored boats

It was evening when I made this photograph, and the appearance suggests a calmer atmosphere. Amsterdam, at least during our visit, was a very busy, crowded, and sometimes loud place. (The crowds on our last evening there were astounding… and it was a Sunday night!) In fact, while this scene was a bit quieter than some, it probably looks more still and quiet in the photograph than was actually the case.

This is one of the typical scenes in this city and one that probably attracts tourists. There’s actually a lot to see here. Obviously the canal runs straight off into the distance, and the overhanging trees provide shade and color and a reflection in the water. Boats are moored along the banks, and above them cars and bicycles are parked close to the water. Beyond them there are streets and walkways and even places to stop and eat.
