This photo, taken near the Herengracht canal in Amsterdam, shows a typical Amsterdam scene with a canal boat cruising leisurely along the canal towards one of the many characteristic arched bridges. On either side of the water are the familiar canal houses with their narrow gables and tall windows, surrounded by trees whose leaves are beginning to turn colour - a sign that it is autumn.
The sky is partly cloudy, but there is enough sunshine to accentuate the warm colours of the buildings and water. Bicycles are parked on the quays and a few cars are visible, adding to the lively yet peaceful atmosphere that is so characteristic of Amsterdam. The combination of water, historical architecture and autumn light gives the photo an atmospheric and picturesque character. This work is available to order in colour (work code )-.
