[Hans_S]

Very nice!

Thank you Luc.

I like the swing silhouette...now show us the view of Amsterdam (my birthplace) from the edge, no selfie sticks allowed

Thanks John, Hans.

Hans,

I was also born in Amsterdam, in the Bos en Lommer area I lived there until the age of four when we moved to nearby Amstelveen. I can offer you the view as shown below, shot on the same trip as the earlier posted image.
Visible from left to right Het Muziekgebouw, the high rise building (Delta Lloyd?, my father used to work there) at the Amstel (de Omval), the Central Station and in its background the high rise buildings of the business centre at De Zuidas.
This image was shot with a Samyang fisheye lens.

Luc, three themes in one...nice work!

We left when I was 4 years old and settled in Melbourne Australia. On a visit back in the early "70's, I fished that water in front of your vantage point (Het Ij?) with my uncles in sub-sub zero degree weather...I clearly remember the pain of having to hold the rod underwater as a police boat passed, I did not have a license

[Luc]

Hans, the water is indeed Het IJ. Great story about the fishing rod! Greetings from a fellow Amsterdammer

I was thinking if putting this one on the "water" thread but I may work better here.
