Brilliant idea to hang the Christmas lights in the trees along Amsterdam's Spiegelgracht already while the yellow-coloured leaves were still in them. This contrasts super with the sky in the blue hour, and it gives the facades of the diverde art galleries a nice golden glow. As far as I'm concerned, they can implement this tree lighting all over the Grachtengordel, it will only make the already beautiful Amsterdam city centre even more beautiful. :D
Fortunately, there was little wind on this particular Saturday evening in the autumn, and no boats passed by either, so the lighting from the trees also reflected beautifully in the water of the Spiegelgracht, located opposite the Rijksmuseum.
The Spiegelgracht, at about 100 metres one of the shorter canals in Amsterdam's city centre, is an important traffic artery for cyclists in particular from Amsterdam-Zuid to Amsterdam's city centre and vice versa, and don't blame them with this sight.
Merely bring in the goodness of autumn with this blue hour evening photo of Amsterdam.
