Amsterdam. My home for the last 8 years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes I cycle along those glorious canals and can't believe my luck. The city never ceases to surprise with hidden gems of architecture or a new pop up cafe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I scoot around on my old bike, Speedy Gonzalez (now in retirement!) and now the newer but still rusty Nippy. Often far too quickly and not stopping to appreciate the beauty of the city. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So today I stopped. I had a little time in between meetings and simply looked out at the stunning view that this photo doesn't even capture fully. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And it felt great to just take it all in with no agenda. Just thinking of how little this scene has changed in hundreds of years. Did you know some of the canal houses date back to the 15th Century? .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
