... trying to take an attractive photo.
Red-lights district is annoying! Even not because of ugly idea of flash-market (it's known, so was expected), but because of smooth chewing crowd, floating pipe-streets, moving like a noisy flock of sheep. Prostitutes of all ages are friendly waiving from behind greasy glasses. Streets are narrow and distance is touchable. Air is sucked with smell of junk-food. This is summer - high season. Pocket-pickers paradise. I couldn't find any element of attractivity in it, and for sure neither element of sexuality - it's pure marketial thing. Not being a puritan one I felt sick of it quite fast and was happy to leave.
Amsterdam. Mainly built in 17 cent, city centre looks architecturally wholesome, interruption of eclectic is minimal. Buildings are flat-faced and tall, built tight to each other.They are lined among canals. Mirroring in the water doubles effect of tall tightness. You go through A., looking up until your neck gets "broken" and you can't anymore.
