A beautiful view across Amsterdam's Geldersekade, towards the Nieuwmarkt neighbourhood with the Zuiderkerk or St. Janskerk.
This is in autumn, early in the morning in a still largely dormant city.
The trees are beginning to lose their leaves in the rising autumn sun.
Construction of the Zuiderkerk, a design by Hendrik de Keyzer, began in 1603, but lack of money halted work bihna four years before finally being completed in 1614.
The only surviving child of Rembrandt and Saskia Uylenburgh, son Titus was baptised in this church in 1641.
Around 1970, the church was closed because it became too dilapidated. In the years 1976-'79, the church was restored.
In honour of the 400th anniversary, a church service was held again for the first time in 2014.
The last refurbishment was in 2017 after which the tower regained its original dark grey colour.
An atmospheric sight for tourists and a recognisable image for the real Amsterdammer.
For tourists: Metro station Nieuwmarkt
                                
 
                                
                                        My great passion is portrait photography,  especially children and the elderly, 
but especially in Fine Art photography,  I can lose myself completely.
Beautiful photos that tell a story...
