Cityscapes
Besides Amsterdam, I’m also interested in other cities. That includes Rotterdam, Leiden, and Deventer, but also cities closer to where I live, such as Alkmaar, Haarlem, and Hoorn.
I’ve photographed in Rotterdam several times. The city has done everything it can to become impressive again. Think of the skyscrapers near the Erasmus Bridge, but also the Old Harbour with its iconic white building. This building has been there since 1897 and is one of the few that survived the bombings of the Second World War. Close to this area, you’ll also find the well-known Cube Houses.
When the festive month of December begins, Deventer is a wonderful place to be. The famous Dickens Festival transforms the historic Bergkwartier into a 19th-century English town, filled with lively characters from the books of Charles Dickens.
