Nope, I wasn't done with the B.A.P Union yet. It's also looking pretty cool at night, even when it's becoming somewhat trickier to spot it in a long exposure of the Saturday evening crowds on the water. 😅

It's gone a bit invisible because of that orange and pink lit up boat in the foreground, but luckily the white and red lights help. 😊

I also quite liked the Capitan Miranda from Uruguay that's next to the B.A.P Union, in the right side of this photo. More about that tomorrow.

Lately I have already seen some posts from people asking we're slowly but steadily getting ready for autumn. To each their own ofcourse, but hell no that I'm ready for autumn. 🤣

The colourful foliage and foggy mornings obviously are nice, but the fact the days are getting colder and shorter, I don't want to think of that stuff yet. 😉

Anyway, whilst I haven't done anything in terms of last night's northern lights (it was raining around 11 over here, and I have to get up early for work the morning after anyway, so I couldn't afford to stay up until 1-2 AM before the show finally got started), I'll just continue with Sail. 😇

Of course the star of this edition of Sail could not stay behind in my collection. The B.A.P Union from Peru, and respect for its crew having climbed into the masts (and miraculously staying up there 😅).

A late walk turned into a small night story
#AdamToren glowing over still water
A classic #CitroenDS resting under stars
#DNB Reflections stretching like silk
And one playful frame where the lights scribbled across the scene Which moment grabs you today, the calm water, the vintage lines, or the wild light dance?

While I mostly came to the Sail In for the tall ships, obviously plenty is happening around these tall ships as well. It often is fun to just look at how people have named their boats.

1) La Bella Ragazza, with the bella ragazza waving to the audience. 😁

2) One for the football fans. Gabriel Boatistuta, in what appears to be the font of the Championship Manager game. 👏 The Clipper Stad Amsterdam in the background was a nice bonus.

3) Miami Vice 🤣 With the Pasqual Flores in the background as another nice bonus.

Some more photos from the Sail In; the Witte Swaen from the Netherlands, the Alexander von Humboldt II from Germany, and the Belem from France.

Thought it was funny Greenpeace was present as well... I haven't heard of them having taken any actions that day though, so no news is good news in this case, I suppose.

Sail is over by now (hello , withdrawal symptoms 🤣), but luckily we still have the photos. 😊

Starting with following up on my promise of yesterday to upload the blue hour photo (sort of blue anyway, as it had gotten cloudy) taken from A'DAM Lookout in the direction of where Sail was mostly happening.

The crowds were quite overwhelming for me at times, and yet I'm already missing the good atmosphere. Now all that remains, is an eerily quiet river IJ.

Anyway, I still have loads of photos to look at and process, so I'll keep those Sail photos coming for some time.

Went up to Lookout in the A'DAM Tower last Thursday to catch the sunset. Luckily I was there a bit earlier and I already did some photographing, because it got cloudy around sunset, which kinda ruined my plan.

So unfortunately the red to pink tones in the sky that I ordered didn't come, and Lookout only having a handful of peepholes to make photos through didn't help either (pity nothing in that sense has been improved in the 10 or so years since my last visit), but I didn't leave the place empty handed with thanks to a great golden hour that made up for it all.

I did stay until the (sort of) blue hour arrived, but the photo I'm planning to share is too good to me to put into this series, so that's getting an upload of its own. To be continued. 🙂
