AMSTERDAM

I've been to Amsterdam twice in my life, once at age 23 and again 30 years later. These photos are from that second visit, in which I am older and hopefully wiser. However, I believe that Amsterdam changed much more than I in those three decades, transforming itself into one of the world's truly great and lasting cities.
