Festive lights

The big Christmas tree at Dam square in Amsterdam 24 meters high, brought from Germany and with 40.000 lights.

The department store The Bijenkorf.

The shopping centre Magna Plaza.

The House of Cards, part of the Amsterdam Light Festival.

And the ring on the canal bridge, which changes colours.

 I like this season in Amsterdam with all the different lights in the city.

  11. Your city lights are just beautiful, some traditional and some unusual. I think my favorite is the store with all the white lights vertically in the windows.

  13. Dearest Marianne,
    Certainly the Dam Square in front of the Royal Palace is quite a focal point and even more so with this huge Christmas tree. http://www.paleisamsterdam.nl/en

    Enjoy your special lights for the coming days...
    Hugs,
