Back to uploading some photos of the actual Amsterdam Light Festival. Starting with I Contain Multitudes, by Marinella Senatore, along a heavily trafficked river Amstel.

I keep those Amsterdam Light Festival photos coming for now. 😇 With this time quite possibly the best project of this edition, even if it's lit very brightly, making it difficult to make good photos of this project when it gets even remotely dark.

Nevertheless, here's Swans, door Jon Voss.

Another Amsterdam Light Festival capture, this time of Metamorfaunes, by Luminariste. On one of the few moments that no boat came past for half a minute. 😅

“Huis met de ooievaar” (house with the stork).

You’ll find this red brick national monument on the corner at the intersection of Prinsengracht and Reguliersgracht. 🧱 🏠

The bell gabled canal house features a façade stone depicting a stork, as a midwife once operated there in the 17th century. 👩🏻‍🍼

Another notable detail is the sundial on the façade. 🌞

With its charming architecture and storytelling details, this house remains a beautiful example of Amsterdam’s canal heritage. 🧡

“De Jordaan” was developed in the early 17th century to accommodate the city’s increasing population.

The Westerstraat itself was originally a canal known as the Anjeliersgracht, which was filled in during 1861 to create the current street.

The buildings along this street, including this one at the intersection with Prinsengracht, were primarily constructed during this period, reflecting the architectural styles prevalent at the time. 🏡

Trying to make sense of the view from 22nd floor of Canal House in Leeds this afternoon. Very enjoyable. #urbansketchers #sketchclubsocial #leeds #canalhouse @sketchclubsocial
