Some weeks ago I was showing my brother the map on this photoblog containing the different cities I had visited during the years I have been living in Europe, and he asked me about Amsterdam. I hadn't noticed, but I realized I haven't published any picture yet from the famous Dutch capital, and since I recently had a connecting flight passing through Schiphol, I thought that was a good opportunity to take a good picture for ConEuropean. One of the most fascinating parts of Amsterdam is its canal system, conceived as part of the city planning in the 17th century. In this picture you can observe one of these canals at night, with the church of St. Nicholas in the background.
