Given how much shorter the days are becoming here in the north now that we’re past the solstice, I figure I’ll have a chance to catch more city-lights photos with the long dark nights that’ll fill the coming six months :-/, so I can spare two in one post. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the apartment I’m now in gives me lovely views at all hours from high above the city – including these shots from mid-August, with a sliver of moon and the earliest glimmers of dawn before sunrise.

There’s a degree of honor on my side and trust on yours about these urban and country canal categories: the one above was taken one evening when I went for a walk by my apartment after work, while the one below, much more clearly urban in nature, is on my bike ride home from where I play tennis, which is a now a very different path than the Schinkeleilandenpark bike path which I used to photograph a lot, going and coming from tennis.

Sunset from my apartment on my birthday, just over a month ago, was pretty much a full two hours later than it is already now :-(. That’s the seasons here…

Above, a sunset photo still in my folder from March, and below the last from a lovely sunset evening concert at the Muziekgebouw up by the harbor in May.

Two early-morning views from my new place (just moved, middle of the week past) – above, looking north from my bedroom and below looking west from my living room. We’ve shown you Sloterplas, the lake below, in this previous post as well as a few others. You’ll be seeing more of this, and much less of my last neighborhood park going forward 🙂
