Canals and Streets in the Dark- Amsterdam, Netherlands

Something really interesting happens in the evening in Amsterdam. The canals transform into living impressionist canvases. A gentle wind creates brush strokes on the water's surface and mirrors the way Van Gogh created movement with his strokes. It's more than coincidence that the Netherlands was his birthplace and the Van Gogh Museum is found in Amsterdam.

Like the water in its canals, Amsterdam is always moving day or night. The static tram tracks create lines that imply movement. They remind me of metal canals in the cobbled streets.
