Canals of Amsterdam


Amsterdam’s canals date back to the 17th century. They were originally constructed for trading goods, but today they serve as scenic routes through the city. Framed by charming buildings and lush vegetation, these waterways offer a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Whether you’re strolling along the cobblestone streets or gliding along the water in a boat, each canal presents its own unique ambiance and sights to behold.

As the day transitions into night, the canals take on a magical quality as the lights from the city reflect off the calm waters. From the vibrant energy of Damrak to the tranquil beauty of Jordaan, each canal district offers its own distinct charm and atmosphere. Discovering Amsterdam’s canals offers more than just sightseeing; it’s a deep dive into the essence of this unique European city.

Capturing Friuli

The region of Friuli-Giulia-Venezia is situated in the northeastern part of Italy between the Alps in the north and the Adriatic Sea in the south. Like other parts of Italy, it is rich in history, culture, and cuisine. The following scenes were captured in Udine and Trieste in the last days of 2023.

Bratislava Off Season

Bratislava is the proud capital of the Slovak Republic, situated in the west of the country at the border with Austria. In fact, the city is so close to Austria that once there were plans for a tram line connecting it to Vienna. Although such a tram was never built, by train, it takes only about one hour to get there, and in summer, there are boat cruises along the Danube between the two capitals. In winter, though, it is much quieter, especially during COVID-19 there was not much going on in the streets, and you almost felt like having the city for yourself.

Heart of Tuscany

Although not the only large city in the region of Tuscany, Florence is widely recognised as the unofficial capital of the world-famous region in Italy. It is a town full of history and passion. Not only do you get to experience world-class art and architecture but also delicious food and the best wine in the world. It is truly the heart of the region.

The Lost Republic

Between the 11th and 15th centuries, Pisa used to be a wealthy and powerful republic in today’s Tuscany. Architectural masterpieces were built, and fantastic art was created at this time. Pisa was a center of culture and commerce for many centuries. But like any prosperous state, it was surpassed by another place, in this case by the sea republic of Genova. Pisa was largely forgotten, but luckily, the cultural heritage survived the centuries.
