Quintessentially Dutch

I guess this is a sort of whimsical way to end this Amsterdam gallery, but aside from tulips, we saw more clogs -- of all shapes, sizes, forms and uses -- than anything else meant to attract tourists in the city. I may at some point do a small sub-gallery on some of the architecture I didn't include here, but that will probably have to wait for a rainy (or rather hot and dusty) day in Riyadh. Thanks for all the kind comments over the very long period of time it took me to finish this! One thing I decided while putting it together is that we simply must go back to Amsterdam.

I have uploaded quite a few images to this gallery in the last day, but this is the most interesting IMO, of the leaning houses of Amsterdam:



Nikon D800 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/200s f/5.6 at 45.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Love the clog shot - I have a "tourist size" pair myself that were a gift from someone who visited Amsterdam years ago.

Outstanding POV and DOF. It is a great ending for a fabulous gallery.

I'm not normally a fan of shallow DOF, but it works very well here. The bright background colors make the blur a fine element of the composition. Good way to end the gallery. V

I can imagine that you walk around with these in Budapest! It Shure was a very lovely gallery and this photo is so Holland.
