Some visit Amsterdam and decided never to leave, like the Grey Heron which has established itself in the city over the last few decades.

Reguliersgracht is one of the must-see attractions in Amsterdam offering picture perfect views of canals and bridges. The intersection of Reguliersgracht and Keizersgracht features on many Amsterdam postcards.

Evening stroll in Amsterdam led me to Café Papeneiland on the corner of Brouwersgracht and Prinsengracht. One of the most scenic and peaceful neighbourhoods in the city centre.

Daytime and nighttime, Amsterdam is a beautiful city! These canal house are located at Damrak which is just a few minutes from Amsterdam Central Station.

Pythonbrug is an award-winning footbridge crossing over the Railroad Basin in Amsterdam’s regenerated Eastern docklands. The red snake-like bridge which was built in 2001 links the former docks now named Sporenburg and Borneo Island.
Pythonbrug is one of a set of three bridges in the area designed by architects West 3. It’s about 15 minutes by bike from Amsterdam Centraal and also accessible via tram. It’s a really peaceful area to visit and relax away from the busyness of Amsterdam’s city centre.

Hilversum is just 20 minutes by train from Amsterdam. As well, as being the media capital of The Netherlands, it is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Highland cows can be found grazing on the open moors between North Hilversum and Laren. There’s also a media museum in Hilversum housed in an impressive modern building. #highland #highlandCow #moor #silhouette #sunset #hei #heide #hilversum #laren #holland #netherlands

A warm sunny Saturday in Amsterdam and everyone’s out and about. Except that is in Prinseneiland which remains peaceful and picturesque. This has to be my favourite part of Amsterdam. Everything you want except and expect from this city except for te crowds. What I wasn’t expecting was a petting zoo and a yellow submarine. About a year ago, there were many reports that the vessel would be removed as a result a Waternet’s court order. However, it’s great to see that it’s still here, brightening up the neighbourhood! The diversity, creativity and quirkiness of this city continues to amaze me!

Tulips are starting to look at Keukenhof. The gardens are open daily until 17 May 2015 between the hours of 8:00 and 19:30. The special coaches which run every 15 minutes from Schiphol Airport are the easiest way to access the park.

The Blue Violin Player (De Blauwe Vioolspeler) is a metal sculpture placed in the Second Marnixplantsoen near the Raampoortbrug bridge in Amsterdam. The artwork depicts an apparently faceless / invisible man running with a violin case towards Marnixstraat. The sculpture is also called Man Trying to Catch Tram 10 or Man with Violin Case. The sculpture was erected in 1982. It was removed for restoration for a brief time and then came back painted blue. The city council has received the work on the basis that the identity of the artist remained unknown.
