The power of the Eye

For the people that know where this building is and the river it is facing, can understand the title.

It is possible to read the title in different ways, making the image able to work in different ways too.

This powerful shot I took during a very colorful sunset in the harbor docks of Amsterdam called Houthavens. ( I am assuming this place was where they traded and shipped a lot of wood).

The building is called Pontsteiger, named after the many ferry’s that dock here to pick up and bring passengers from 1 side of the river to the other/

One of the most iconic buildings in Amsterdam, The Amsterdam Look-out, really stands out across the river Ij.

I shot this during a perfect full moon.

De krakeling Amsterdam

The reflection of De krakeling Amsterdam on a small canal in the hearth of Amsterdam.

A powerful yet very short sunset gave a mesmerizing glow over the streets, cars and building.

Brouwersgracht Amsterdam
       
     
Brouwersgracht Amsterdam

One of the more iconic pictures of Amsterdam, is this spot, at the Brouwersgracht. The buildings across from where I was standing, are very crooked and you feel almost as if they are going to fall down.

In this image, you can also see a moving Canalboat, that is very famous for tourists. I remember that my parents took me on this ‘rondvaartboot’ once.

A stormy day at the pontsteiger in Amsterdam.

You can see the fast moving clouds during a sunset.

Montelbaanstoren
       
     
Montelbaanstoren

A great view on the Montelbaanstoren.

The Montelbaanstoren is an Amsterdam tower from 1516 on Oudeschans 2. The name came about because the Duke of Alva (Alba) wanted to build a castle next to this tower, and wanted to give this castle the name Monte Albano. [1] The tower was then called "Monte-Albaens-tooren", which popularly became the Montelbaanstoren. The tower is nicknamed Malle Jaap, because the bells of the tower once started to play spontaneously at irregular times.

Rowing on the Amstel

On the river called the Amstel, you will find people rowing in rowing race boats to exercise. The clubhouse you see here on the right side, having a really cool shape, big windows over looking the Amstel and the ligt during the blue hour is perfect for nightscape photography.

In the back, you find 1 our of 2 epic Skylines from Amsterdam

Leidsegracht

During a great colorful sunset, I went to the Leidsegracht. 1 of the many famous photogenic places in Amsterdam.

There where no boats sailing here because of the covid-crisis. Made for great reflections on this evening

Damrak Amsterdam
       
     
Damrak Amsterdam

When exiting the central station in Amsterdam, you walk on the Damrak, towards the Dam Square. You cant walk by without noticing the damrak water and the amazing dutch houses. The fronts have very specific names. Notice how the windows become smaller the higher they get: that was an optical illusion when designing the houses, to make them look bigger from down below

Nieuwe Markt Amsterdam
       
     
Nieuwe Markt Amsterdam

when visiting Amsterdam in Winter, and the streets are empty, the atmosphere is really interesting. You will find reflection on the canals in Amsterdam.

The old houses makes you feel your stepping back in time.

The market in the back of the images is called: Nieuwe markt, and has a great building in the center, like a old castle.

De haven van Texel
       
     
De haven van Texel

Restaurant De haven van Texel overlooks this very typical Amsterdam spot. Great at night, when the lights go on. Next to the red-light destrict.
