Amsterdam, Netherlands

A blissfully calm canal in central Amsterdam. This photo is from my first visit there in September 2012.

Museumplein, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam’s Museumplein park is, as you might imagine, ringed with museums. Beyond the pool in this photo is the Rijksmuseum. Snapped this image on a long layover back in August 2014.

Over the edge

This was an unexpected find in downtown Rotterdam, seen back in September 2015.

Centraal Station

This building doesn’t look like much from this angle but to borrow from a popular science-fiction TV series … Rotterdam’s central train station is way bigger from the inside. Its modest facades definitely belie the structure’s cavernous interior.
