An early bird catches nice light

Some weeks ago I woke up early on a saturday morning. That’s nothing like me, as I love to sleep in late. But still, I wanted to catch the light glimmering off one of Holland’s largest canals and reflecting into the trees, and to get the right angle of the light I had to get there early.

This photo shows the relaxed atmosphere of the northern part of Amsterdam, while in the background there is the busy central train station. Be sure to check it out large.

A few hundred meters further north along the same canal I found this spot. Again the light reflected beautifully off the water. Everybody I met that morning was friendly, and there was a great atmosphere. I think this photo reflects that well.
