However I was born in Amsterdam and lived there for many years I just now realize, that I never made a photo of the canals, the towers, the Dam, the flowermarket or the Vondelpark. Maybe it is because I lived there. I knew, that it was very beautiful, but it was so familiar to me. Lately someone said that when a young person gets his first camera he goes to Paris and makes a picture of the Eiffeltower. He knows there are more than a billion pictures of the Eiffeltower, but this is hís first time. He doesn't think of taking a picture of his mom and dad and the cat, because they are so familiar. He still doesn't know that the Eiffeltower will be in Paris long after his mom, dad and the cat are gone.And yes, I made pics of the Eiffeltower and I simply forgot to see Amsterdam with a tourist's eye.
Nevertheless I love this city from the bottom of my heart. Amsterdam, Mokum Aleph, First City. I'll let the many beautiful pages about Amsterdam on VT speak also on behalf of myself. My picture will be a painting of a famous Amsterdam painter: George Breitner (1857-1923).
