Dutch bicycle

















Pretty much my all-time favourite photo.

Why?

I took it while walking across a little stone bridge in Amsterdam, so it was totally unplanned.
I like how the viewer catches glimpses of elements that so clearly state "Amsterdam": the rooflines in the background, the style of the bicycle itself, the canal, the canalboat, the tiny cars, the cobblestones below the wheels.
Finally I actually like that there are no people in it to distract from the portrait of the place
