Brouwersgracht, Amsterdam

The Brouwersgracht on a cold winter day. The name literally means Brewers’ Canal — in reference to the breweries located here during Holland’s Golden Age. Notice the old warehouses that have been transformed into luxury apartments.

Leidsekade, Amsterdam

I like this spot. It’s an oasis of rest just a block away from ultra-busy Leidseplein and Leidsebosje. You’ll find many such spots throughout Amsterdam. © Anton Hein

I’d be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge. I’d be in deep s—. It doesn’t excuse my mistakes, but I’m holding out for Grace. I’m holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross, because I know who I am, and I hope I don’t have to depend on my own religiosity. ~ Bono
