Amsterdam, is most definitely the city of canals. In fact, I think it pays some heavy competition to Venice in terms of number random canals to be found within the city. However, Amsterdam is also a city that features a multitude of stunning and diverse lighting. And what truly makes the canals so stunning to me is through the way they glow and glisten at night due to the numerous lamp posts plastered throughout the city.
There is also a huge influence of Moroccan-esq lamps throughout the city as well, and a multitude are to be found dispersed in the various flee markets within the city. It is nearly impossible to walk through Amsterdam without coming across a lamp that is in someway inspired or takes influence from the east. I stumbled upon the most amazing little shop that was just absolutely brimmed with what seemed to be an endless number of chandeliers and floor lamps, and to be quiet honest, I felt like I was back in Venice due to the overwhelming amount of glass. The comparisons to be made with Venice and Amsterdam are endless, and its definitely such a joy to have the opportunity to view and note the fabulous lighting and canals in both cities.
