Sometimes, after an epic martial arts bout, a bamboo stick figure just needs to rest.

Next an analog photo from Amsterdam took with my Zorki 4 camera (an old Soviet rangefinder) from 1966. 📷 Let's imagine that this photo doesn't have these few modern cars, then you could say that this photo looks like it was taken a few decades ago. Canals in Amsterdam are the most iconic places of this city, many calls this city the Venice of the north and I can confirm it's true! 🥰

Gear:
• Zorki 4 (KMZ, 1966)
• Jupiter-8 50 mm f/2 (KMZ, 1967)
• Kodak Professional Portra 400/36

zhang.dianli,

I always find formulations like "the Venice of " funny because they often get applied to places that predate Venice's foundation...

But yes, that picture you took looks like the pictures I would have taken in the '80s when I visited Amsterdam. Very nice.

zhang.dianli,

Oh, it's not you. It's very common to refer to any city with canals as "The Venice of ". I just find it very funny when it's applied to places like "The Venice of China" (Suzhou) when the city in question predates the establishment of Venice by 500-1000 years (depending on how you draw lines).

You're fine. You're just using an expression that I find comical sometimes. :D

(And you take very nice pictures, even with old machinery. Your pictures with the old-style film cameras look like the pictures I took in the '80s ... only with actual tasteful composition. ;) )
