Everything was white and bright today. Iβm not sure whether the birds, they happen to be very visible citizens in Amsterdam too, appreciated the crisp weather. They were everywhere today, but most gathered in the Red Light District, fighting each other – probably because they were cold and grumpy.
lovely in flight photos
I saw them too. They were trying to grab the french fries from all tourists. π
That top picture is too cool! No words, it’s just rad! π
birds in the red light district? a must, i’d say π nice shots here. can hear the flapping wings on the stirred waters
I soooo love the first photo. It speaks to me of nature, energy, and beauty.
The depth in the first photo amazing..
I love them all, but that first picture is just FANTASTIC!! It kind of reminds me of our family get-togethers π
Haha!! Well, it could look almost fun!
And chaotic π it’s an interesting family…
I have been in Amsterdam a few years ago, but I do not remember so many birds. Is it a special place where I haven’t been? I guess it is typical for wintertime only, isn’t it?
Hermosos lugares y muy lindas fotos. Felicitaciones!
gracias! π
That first picture is super, so clear and crisp, amazing depth and sense of movement. Love it. It is so hectic with birds, and so mad, it is almost menacing. Actually, it looks like something from an Alfred Hitchock film.
Just posted a few pictures of birds on my own post, but they were small one and sadly, in cages, alas. Nothing as dramatic as this. Great to find your blog, looks very interesting.
Birds know a popular spot when they see one. And the tourists can always say they were just in the area birding. No matter, the shot down the canal – which I have to admit I recognize – is most compelling. Between the absolutely right lighting and that gaggle of birds the residents would be hard-pressed to compete. I would probably never have seen this had you not dropped by my blog – thank you on both points!

I’ve had a number of new visitor on the blog recently. I have no idea how they find me but I’m certainly glad they do. I love traffic but more I love reciprocating with visits to their blogs because I get to enjoy their work in return. Blogging I suppose, can get incestous. So here’s a post I really loved from Moments I’ll Never Forget. I hope you like it as much as I did.
Ah, so wild indeed… it shows. I like Amsterdam and have visited this place many times just for sight seeing. I used to work in NL you know. π
Lucky lucky, I was studying there last year – so I guess was just a visitor myself π
hei, these are some really great captures!
Angry birdsβbest shot I’ve seen in months! Bravo.
I love to see birds in flight. I truly do envy them.
Love the first photo!
Thanks for bringing back some great memories of Amsterdam for me! Great post!
Thank you for visiting my blog today. I appreciate the time you took to stop by. May your day be filled with joy and peace.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Really love that first shot!
That first image is cinematic!
They are all nice, but I agree with many of the comments above that the first picture above is really good and my favorite.
The top photograph is simply wonderful! Is this HDR? The motion and the energy are wonderful-as is the color.
Thank you too for taking the time to stop by my blog Move the Chair-I appreciate it very much-
No, I’ve never tried HDR, but I’ve seen many examples of it here on WP and will probably check it out soon π
Oh my gosh – the street at the top of your post, the grainy one – I know exactly where that is. That’s the catholic church in the background.

Hi ks3! Love your Angry Bird shot. Keep snapping!
Great picture. I think they’re in heat… well, at least they’re in the right place π
Thanks for stopping by our blog π
Great photos! Really bring the scene to life π
Thank you for finding my blog and liking it. I plan to spend some time at yours. Amsterdam is one of those places I dream of. And your cover image looks like it was Seuratized. Am I on target here?
peace, linda
Seuratized? I’m not sure :-p I played with for a while in Photoshop and Voila π
what I meant is the picture looks like pointillism which is the painting style of Georges Seurat, If you don’t know him, google him and you’ll get my meaning π
oooh! I like his style π thanks for the tip π I love being educated – especially in art π
very happy to oblige, Seurat is my absolute favorite painter!
really cool

I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting
article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners
and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
