My 2008 trip to Holland

AMSTERDAM

THE MONUMENT TO THE LIBERATION.
The imposing white obelisk decorated with allegorical figures was put up in 1956 in eternal rememberance of the Dutch victims of World War II.
The monument encompasses twelve urns, each of which contains a handful of earth taken from the eleven Dutch provinces plus one from Indonesia.



I have tried to portray some aspects of this wonderful city that are not shown in the day to day tourist photo's or publication scenes of the City of Amsterdam
