THE CITY

Amsterdam, the city where I don't live alone. It is bursting with people. It is also bursting with nature. Beautiful nature. Sometimes hard to see. If you try a little, you will see it. Then it is a real treat. With a little help from binoculars or a lens, it becomes absolutely magnificent. I prefer to wander around all day, looking for natural beauty. Especially birds. Birds make me happy. Amsterdam birds are willing models. They are reasonably used to me, to us, their fellow citizens, humans. With my pictures, I try to show how much natural beauty there is in the city. And preferably also to convince people that we should cherish it...

Enjoy!
