This night-shot was taken on December 7th, 2019 in Amsterdam, the capital of my small country (The Netherlands) on the occasion of the light festival, edition # 8 there (version 2019/2020 with the central theme 'Disrupt!').

There are 20 artworks shown on this festival. This one, called 'Butterfly Effect' was created by the Japanese artist Masamichi Shimada.

I've provided you already with this detailed one. Now an image with a more general overview about this art object.

Information/description provided by the festival committee: "A ripple in the water illuminates the wings of seven gigantic butterflies against the dark night. It's a seemingly insignificant movement with a magnificent result. Shimada emphasizes that while a problem may seem big, a seemingly small action by one person can make a world of difference."

Well composed and taken photo showing the brightly lit floating flowers as well as the lit up buildings with their rows of lights. Nice image Cornelius.

This is so beautiful, I love the "lillies" and their reflections. Wonderful work, Cornelius.

I really like the overall view of the "Butterfly Effect," SEA. It really puts it into perspective.
The people in the building have a great view when they are there. Is it offices or apartments?
Super series.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

---Is it offices or apartments?---

Referring to Owd Fella Tick's (OFT) question above:

Although I'm not quite sure (I'm not an Amsterdam citizen, 😜 ), I suppose that on the left these are offices while on the right these are apartments.
