Jordaan
After arriving at my airbnb I went out to find a good place to shoot for later. I found a spot that was literally on the corner of where I was staying and thought it would be perfect when the lights came on and got darker. I soon came to realise after searching for good Amsterdam photography spots that this was top of the list. I thought it was a nice coincidence. #BvsCities
