While I was walking the streets of Amsterdam, I caught myself many times thinking about how particularly nice the city looks in black and white. Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of color and brightness in there. But, the combination of rainy weather and straight lines of strict architecture forms was always suggesting desaturated high contrast black and white imagery.
I wish I was any better in photography. Maybe then I could have captured the black and white magic of Amsterdam as good as it deserves it.
Here are some excellent images from Flickr which came up in search results.
