Nice and sharp photo of the canal with all the details. I have been there a few times and was always fascinated by the canals which look different from the canals in Hamburg.
I do like the warm tones of the reds and browns in this scene and an interesting look at life on the canals of Amsterdam...crisp, clear capture with lots to take in...nice one, SEA.
To me . this is just as I imagine Amsterdam to be in my mind's eye so even though I have not visited it seems familiar. It is a wonderful scene. beautifully captured Cornelius.
I have visited Rotterdam but do not remember canals, however it was a long time ago ! I do remember delicious chocolate
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
So who has the right-of-way should two large vessels meet in the narrow canal SEA? Much to look at and enjoy in this scene. Wish I had been able to visit Amsterdam. Thanks for taking me there.
Light, colors and clarity are stunning. Lovely to see a scene of this nature. We have been to Amsterdam, but only once, would love to visit again. A unique and vibrant city.
Referring to Tick and Kathy's comments above: I don't want to bother you with the maritime traffic rules because they can be quite complex for laymen, because for naval, commercial or pleasure craft sailing other rules apply. For open/high seas, shallow water, narrow waterways (e.g. in locks, and canals) and areas with wrecks marked with buoys, and so on, the further interpretation of these rules may differ. The method of propulsion and the possibility of good maneuvering (for example with ships/boats with attached (in use) sails or ship/boats with motor propulsion) can also make the application of the rules different. So a simple answer isn't possible. If you still have some interest in this matter, I'll give you this link as example for some boating rules in order to avoid collision, maintain safety, and the safety of others on the water.
