Wednesday Window – pt. 6

As I did a quick search through my collection of window images, I came across a rather interesting one. Last week, we looked at the personality that comes from exposure to the weather in Wednesday Window – pt. 5.5. This time, I am going much more for the shape and view from the window.

I am curious what you think about this one…

Inner Harbor View

I shot this image from the hotel room in Amsterdam, where my wife and I stayed before our Rhine river cruise.

Here’s a view of the hotel from the outside…

Hotel Victoria

From this perspective, you see immediately where our room was: in the tower just under the dome. This was definitely an unusual room, due to the shape with every modern amenity included; even the curtains were automated, so they can be closed with a remote.

We enjoyed ourselves by doing a number of touristy things in Amsterdam, such as a canal tour and eating a croquette. Having this day also gave us a chance to get over our jet lag a bit, which was smart before getting on our boat.

This is also a contribution to Monday Window, a great collection of posts!
