Lichtgitter in Raum

This is what you see when you stick a camera underneath an art display hanging from the ceiling. Captured at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam back in September 2015. The work of art on view here is Lichtgitter im Raum by Heinz Mack.

Rembrandt's army

It seems the statue of Dutch painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn made himself a few friends since the last time I walked through this square in Amsterdam. This was how Rembrandt’s army looked on a soggy evening back in September.

Night travel

Amsterdam Centraal is a glorious building during the day and its surrounding are differently intriguing at night, especially after some light rain. Snapped this image during my visit to Europe this September.

Keeping things simple

Many of the exhibits at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam this past summer were annotated with these little sticky notes of sorts, each with some artistic prose. The author of this particular message seems to like to keep it light.

Albert Cuypstraat

One of my favourite little stretches of street in Amsterdam, just a few steps away from a cool little street market. Snapped this image on my visit there in August.

Arches and squares

Easily overlooked, tucked in behind the Centraal Station in Amsterdam, is this transit bus terminal with its fine curved glass roof modelled after the train shed next door.

Making time

This is one of the more original time pieces I’ve ever come across: a video clock at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Fun and functional.
