Amsterdam Canal Lovers boat transportation

in Photography7 days ago

Hello Hello Hivians, fellow Hive photographers, Friendlymoose Photo Contest and #FBC enthusiasts!

It's always a pleasure to participate in challenges that are run on Hive, I think they are what makes this blockchain of ours such a wonderful place. Entering and engaging gives us a community spirit that sets Hive apart from other web3 projects.

This week's theme in the Friendlymoose Photo Contest from @friendlymoose is "TRANSPORTATION" and you can check the contest post here.

For my entry, I've chosen a shot taken almost exactly a year ago in a wet Amsterdam!

This photograph was captured on the 12th of June 2024 at 12.19 pm. In fact all the photographs that you see are all taken pretty much at the same time!

Had to be about boats!

As soon as I saw the title today when it came in my feed, I just knew I had to pop some boats in here.

As this is also my wedding anniversary week, it is a time when we go a boat somewhere.

These three shots were all taken on our Silver Anniversary last year.

We had a brief stop in Amsterdam. I had not been back there for many years, and so I booked us a wee city boat tour.

I was a bit surprised to see the most popular company was called Lovers Canal Cruises. So it had to be them of course!

There are heaps of canals in Amsterdam and this was a great way to explore things.

We were on the pier waiting for that boat called Flying Enterprise to berth and unload so we could get on and enjoy a leisurely wee cruise.

Thanks for checking out my entry for this week's #LFC!

Seriously, challenges and contest here add excitements when Hiving. UwU. Although I don't join that much, haha. I only join a few and those that I can participate.

Anyways, the boat looks so pretty. Love the color too. It's like, in the big and wide canal, that boat made it more colorful and livelier. \⁠(⁠๑⁠╹⁠◡⁠╹⁠๑⁠)⁠ノ⁠♬

Yeah I feel joining in the challenges makes you part of the community as opposed to some people that just post on worldmappin for the rewards , but I am guilty of that too 🤣
Anyway it is what it is.
sorry for the late reply, I sort of had a week off Hiving for my wedding anniversary last week so now back to it!
Yeah the boat colours were awesome and gave it a fun feel :)

25 years of marriage is a long time! I congratulate you, Ed. In this day and age, where we are invited to let go and turn the page, that you are betting on a lasting relationship is to be admired. I love how that boat looks, so colorful and that you keep the flame of love going with travel is so romantic. Hugs to you!

It is crazy nowadays I think. But if you can accept flaws then it is something to keep hold of.
The boat was colourful and I did laugh when I saw their name was Lovers boats!
A romantic hug to you Nancy :)

Not enough fingers to count my visits there but I never made it to a boat. Thanks for sharing and the little mind trip back to those days.

Ah you've been more than me. I do love exploring places by boat, you get a different perspective.

I also love the freedon of a houseboat trip. But that's nothing I can pay for very often.

Oh how absolutely lovely! Congratulations and happy anniversary! I do hope you find a nice boatride this year, but this one you've posted about from last year will be hard to beat!

Thank you so much Claire, I love boats so any excuse for me to go on one is brilliant. Mrs T coming from landlocked Colorado had never been on a boat until she met me, so we have changed that over the years. Yes we took a small one to an island close to home that was fun.
Last week was a holiday for muse, so am playing catch up now on Hive.
Have a great week :)

I think it's such a beautiful tradition <3 There is something so magical and romantic about boat rides!

Such a romantic way to celebrate your Silver Anniversary! Sailing through the canals of Amsterdam! Uff.. I love that you tied the transportation theme to such a personal memory. The moody weather adds even more charm to the photos, and yes, the first image with the boats and reflections is definitely a standout! Wishing you many more years of adventure and love. ♥️

Thanks so much, yesterday was actually the Silver plus one lol. No boat this time, but there was one on Tuesday. Funnily enough there is a Bollywood film being made with part being shot in Edinburgh at the moment. So on our boat there were quite a few Indians who were having a break from shooting the film.

That's a big, colorful boat with lots of people in it. Looks like a great ride, I've never been on a boat ride before but it looks like fun. Happy anniversary 🎉 💗

Oh I love boats, and was on one today, close to home here in Scotland. That one was colourful. Hopefully you will get to go on a boat ride, I love them. Thank you and have a great week :)

Woahhh that's great 👍. Seems it's affordable or common over there. Here you have to plan and save up for a boat ride. Seeing all the beautiful pictures and experiences, I might as well save up for my first boat experience 😊😃

Yeah longer boat rides you need to save for I think. But it still ads up. It is a good goal to save for!

Thanks. I'm definitely going to have a boat experience and share it here on hive when I do.

Sounds like a plan 🛥

Hola @tengolotodo ! Debes haber disfrutado un montón ese crucero, se ve fantástico el barco y los paisajes de alrededor también se disfrutan en la foto. Que delicia poder pasear allí. Bendiciones para ti.

Siempre que estoy en un barco, lo disfruto. Es una forma genial de explorar una ciudad. También me encanta tu entrada sobre el barco!

Gracias @tengolotodo por visitarme y comparto esw sentimiento por los barcos, mi padre fue marino y nací en el ambiente y después yo también fui marino, hasta que me case y comencé a dictar cátedra de navegación en un aula de clases. Pero la experiencia en un barco es lo más espectacular que he tenido. Bendiciones para ti.

when you live in a city full of canals, boats just make sense.
i never knew how artistic boats over there are

I think this was this particular company, but they are colourful and artistic and brighten up a grey day I think!

that makes you smile certainly.

Love Amsterdam, I used to work there for several years, its great when the weather is half decent, no likey it in the rain.

Oh did you really. Never worked there, just visited a few times over the years. Yeah not the best city in the rain.

Yes many a great night both there and Rotterdam, oh and work too LOL

The only place in Holland I worked on land was Leiden, many trips to platforms in the Dutch offshore sector though.

👍

being on the platforms would be a bit too captive for me...No dancing girls lol

Not to mention no drink 🍻

even worse

🤣

Dang, that boat looks packed!

Yeah it was a busy one.

Such a colorful boat😌. It would be fun to travel in it, especially when the wave is stronger than normal. 😬

Hehe Asia likes a bit of rough!

😛😛
