This early night-shot was taken on December 29th, 2018 in Amsterdam, the capital of my small country (The Netherlands) on the occasion of the light festival there.

This scene was captured in one of the narrow streets leading to the Dam Square.

As I've said before, shooting wasn't that easy because of the limiting photo conditions by a very crowded city because of the event (see the people at the left/down corner of this image), so the intention was to visualize the atmosphere/mood rather than providing you with an optimal night shot.

Stunning capture, the composition really makes a huge difference for me. Normally I would have thought that this scene would have been too confusing, but you have just the right amount of sky and it works beautifully. Wonderful.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Good shot of this interesting yet decadent city.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

I see the crowds you had to deal with in the lower left Mr. C. - this does look like an interesting street to wander down when not so crowded - I think you well with this capture.

I can tell when you are on a mission, neither people or dark of night will deter you SEA.
Wonderful composition.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
