I’ve always believed that Amsterdam reveals itself differently to everyone, and for those who love photography, it’s a city full of surprises. The light has its own rhythm here.

Fall is weird in the Seattle area. Summer tends to drag on relatively late in the year, and then we transition from late summer to cold and blustery over the span of a few weeks. That, plus the relative lack of deciduous trees makes fall foilage season tricky. At higher elevations, snow can hit just as the leaves start getting good, and at lower elevations the leaves can blow off before they’ve fully changed color. In any case, the window for good color is narrow. But not non-existent.| scottstuff.net
