This could be a Manic Monday (Mē) contribution, because of the light vessel (floating lighthouse) at the left side (for maritimers the port side) of this 'canal', but it isn't.

It's a 'retired' floating lighthouse that was stationed in/near the sea lanes at the North Sea, and is moored now downtown Rotterdam, The Netherlands. It functions now as a floating restaurant. The spot is well chosen, because it's adjacent to the Maritime Museum Rotterdam.

Nice and sharp details on the buildings on either side and the light vessel as show piece on the canal. Very well taken photo Cornelius.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Never have I seen a lighthouse on a ship before. It is a beautiful capture as was the other shot.
