Photographer's Note
Looking over the rooftops near my rented flat to the Westerkerk (West Church).
About Westerkerk:
The Westerkerk was officially opened on Whitsunday 1631. It is one of the oldest churches especially built for the Protestant services, and the largest as such church in the Netherlands.
The tower, which occupies a unique place in the affections of the people of Amsterdam, bears the symbol of the imperial crown of Maximilian of Austria, which was his gift to the city in gratitude for support given to the Austro-Burgundian princes. It has inspired many songs and poems and remains a symbol of the city for Amsterdammers abroad.
Rembrandt, one of the world's most famous painters, was buried in the church.
Near the church and in view of the tower, Anne Fank wrote her diary in the Annex, her hiding place from the Nazis.
In 1966 Queen Beatrix and Prince Claus were married in the church.

Great colors indeed ! you did a good job by showing the colored foreground which contrast with the sky far behind. The compos is well balanced with the tower on the left. I also like the smoke going out from the chimney because it gives us the movement of the clouds.
Best regards Curtis.
