Entering Amsterdam through the beautiful Centraal Station…
devouring every dessert my stomach can hold at Unlimited Delicious in the Jordaan…
shopping (window shopping, really) at Amsterdam’s largest department store – De Bijenkorf…
observing the stylish women of Amsterdam on bike after bike after bike… (they’re so well put together!)
riding the tram through the city (how I miss the sound of their bells!)
…sigh. Until we meet again, Amsterdam.
Please check out my other Amsterdam photos:
Find yourself a city to live in… Amsterdam.

Thanks! It’s my favorite at Unlimited Delicious.
To think this got Freshly Pressed on 4/20…I think someone at WordPress is trying to tell us about his/her intentions for tonight. Nice photos nontheless, it seems to be that time of year when people start reminiscing about Europe.
Ha ha! Thanks!
The first photo has to be my absolute favorite of them all. It’s so crisp and luscious.
beautiful…
Congratulations on being freshly pressed!
I’m an American living in Holland, and learned pretty quick…you better believe that I bike in heels and pretty dresses!

Beautiful photography and great captures. Thank you for sharing. And I love your little blip about those pesky photo stealers. =)
Wow, what a gorgeous blogsite and beautiful pics of Amsterdam!! You totally make me want to go now. (No excuse – I have relatives there!?)
That’s right – you have absolutely no excuse. But your relatives may not ask you back, b/c you’ll surely not want to leave!
Dear Wasp-
OMG! Sweets in Amsterdam! When biking is involved, calories melt away. Thanks for reminding me how wonderful A’dam can be.

Thanks! No, I didn’t get a chance to try the mini pancakes… another reason to go back soon!
The third photo makes me want to pick up the rubbish

Hi! I saw your blog in Freshly pressed and it caught my attention. My mom once went to Amsterdam for a trip, and she brought home wonderful photos of the place and told me Amsterdam’s a really great place. I hope I could go there too.
You definitely should make the trip… it’s a wonderful city!
Great pictures! You definitely captured the feel of Amsterdam.
Thanks so much for your comment – I really appreciate it!
I’ve never been to Amsterdam, but I just got back from Copenhagen– they look remarkably similar. I miss Europe! That photo of the train station is just stunning
Thanks! Oddly enough I was just thinking that Copenhagen should be my next stop in Europe!
beautiful photos. Congrats for being on Freshly Pressed
Thanks so much!
Beautiful pictures and wonderful words mixed together: lovely.

Ridiculously beautiful pictures! I’m going there in the summer and your post made me a million times more excited!
You are unbelievably lucky! Can I go with you – pack me in your suitcase!
Yep, come on!
I’ll be making a documentary. One webisode for each country and could use your amazingly artistic eye!!
I am incredibly jealous, I would love to visit Amsterdam.
You seriously have to make it a priority! It’s worth it!
My Grandparents on both side actually came over from Germany, so I have loads of relatives over there. I really ought to just jump a plane.
Wow the colors are fantastic… amsterdam looks fantastic and I can’t wait to go!
These photos make me realize how I miss the crazy city. I have been there a lot of times but it’s never enough for me
Same for me!
really love these photos!
Awesome.
I’ve been in Amsterdam two weeks ago! I loved this city! Thank you very much for your photos! -Leo
very nice pics! such a lovely dessert
))
When I saw this featured I was thinking, “This better not be about 4/20…”
The women or the bikes are well put together? Ha!
Wouldn’t mind sampling some of those desserts…
Both!
Great photos of a lovely city!
Beautiful city … and a great photo …
^ _ ^
Greetings ….. waiting for a visit …
I got to get back there soon!!!
Love your shots, they looked so beautiful =)
I love your pictures! I’ve repeatedly told myself to travel more often this year, just so I can see new things and take more (hopefully better) photos. The desserts made me hungry.
I had to look around for Amsterdam because I just finished reading The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. I should really include the place in one of my musts before turning 50.
Thanks for an amazing post!
You have to put Amsterdam at the top of your list! You won’t regret it!
I better start saving up! Hahaha.
I’m actually already looking at the spots to hangout when I get there. Just hope it won’t take me a while to actually do it.

If you need any recommendations, let me know.
I wanna go to Amsterdam!
However, what this have to do with fig??? I really love fig.
Hmmm… fig? Why not?
Beautiful photos and thoughts.
Thanks for your nice comments!
Just Beautifull

fig and the wasp. Stern photos of Amsterdam. Been there twice and it was wonderful. Thanks for reawakening the fond memories of Amsterdam.
I just came back from Amsterdam too! It’s an amazing city which I can’t wait to return to. If you’ve got time and feel like it, do check out my blog as well.
Lucky… I’m crossing my fingers that I can make it back this year.
I love how vivid the photos are!
Your photos are gorgeous! What kind of camera do you use?
Thanks! Nikon D7000… with either 50mm, 11-16mm or 70-300mm lens.
No problem!
And thanks!!

One of m favourite cities in the world! Lucky you! And I also love fashion, food & photogaphy! =D
I like it very much, so nice
Great photos looks as cool as everyone say it does.
Love how big and crisp the photos are — and that dessert — Dyyyying. Coming through Centraal Station was such a treat during trip one, or was it two? Can’t remember. The the trams. It all brings back memories. I’ve been to Amsterdam three times. Did you head over the Pancake Bakery? I wonder if it’s still around and if it’s still as good as it used to me. The last time I visited, I was feeling like it lost something. (But truth be told, I ate there at least three times during that trip, so obviously, that didn’t stop me.) *slight bashful eye raise*
Yes, Pancake Bakery is still there… I prefer Pannenkoekenhuis Upstairs on Grimburgwal. I eat there several times when I’m visiting. There is also another place I tried when I was there last August – Pancakes! Amsterdam on Berenstraat, which I thought was pretty decent. Ah… this is all making me very hungry!
Oh my goodness…I just ate, and now I’m salivating! Good to know about the Pannenkoekenhuis Upstairs. Next time, I’ll make sure it’s on my agenda. This is like foodie torture.
Love the photos! Especially the panning in the one with the women on bikes.
Great photos. I was in Amsterdam for a weekend about 10 years ago but none of these photos look familiar. I think I may have been in a different part of the city, though.
What amazing photographs! Love your camera! I liked the train photo. For some reason, it just stands out. I can almost hear and sense the sounds and authenticity of the surrounding area where it was taken. Great post!
Awesome pictures! I Love the one of the ladies on the bikes!
Amsterdam looks beautiful! I’d love to do some travelling, but of course it takes money. What would be really neat is if I could start travelling for writing conferences and maybe get to go to some places out of the U.S. such as Italy, France, Sweden. That would be awesome. I may be forty before it happens, but I’ll take it.
Yea… that is my dream too!
That dessert looks delicious.
Great photos looks as cool …….

nice photos…
My father’s family lives over there and it really brings a source of nostalgia whenever I see photos. I miss Holland. I miss the beauty of the city.

A different take on my visit to Amsterdam
I really like that you captured the dominance of the colour blue in Amsterdam. It’s a nice place, especially when you get out of the human trafficking zone. I have to say I was not at all surprised about the transportation accident as it is so disorganized and surly there, in spite of the immense environmental and structural beauty. Happy travels! -’tarotworldtour.wordpress.com’
Great photos. And great you love my beloved hometown Mokum.
Great photos. Thanks for loving my beloved Mokum.

Yes, it’s a raspberry mousse tart I believe… and the best I’ve ever had!
nice.i’ll be visiting Amsterdam shortly..now i know what to expect.
Beautiful work! Keep it up, from one photographer to another!
The Photo with the two women on bikes is great. Like how the background is blurry and only the two are focused
fell in love with Amsterdam when I visited. Amazing photos!
Thanks for sharing a city that I want to visit.
Amazing! I want to go! Love the bicycle shot! Congrats on being FP!

I was in Amsterdam the other day due to a long stopover in Schipol, was an excellent city to explore – even if just for a few hours.
Cool shots! I especially love the tram because that’s not something you (okay, me) see every day. And great capture of the girls on bikes!
Amazing photos it made me miss Amsterdam and The Netherlands too cant wait to return back =)

My memories of Amsterdam are a little hazy.
Went there last summer. The city is beautiful but the natives are taciturn and glum(If you could find some among the swarms of tourists). The only lively company at an outdoor restaurant table was a group of Italian tourists, full of life. The lack of a sense of humor of the Dutch is proverbial. I was confirmed in my impression by a Hungarian lady i met on the city excursion bus who is married to a Dutch man.
That’s interesting… I’ve never had that experience before. I always rent an apartment while in Amsterdam and have found my Dutch neighbors as well as the shopkeepers that I buy from to be very warm and friendly!
Your beautiful pictures make me miss Amsterdam! Such a beautiful, calm, free city! Thanks for sharing and bring back old memories!
Ahhhh, my favorite city to travel to. Your photos definitely help to capture the atmosphere.
