A photogenic corner in the red light district of Amsterdam.
This view was a 90 minute walk from our hotel… and in the red light district. Beautiful reflections of Amsterdam. I waited and waited for the lights in the residence above the rowboat to come on. They finally did, but only for less than 15 seconds. Fortunately, it was during one of my long exposures so I captured the whole duration.
Did you know you are not allowed to photograph the girls sitting in the windows in the red light district as they advertise their business? There were no signs stating photography of the ladies was not allowed. How was I to know? Getting scolded by a scantily clad lady was most embarrassing… More on that later.
