A boat ride on a summer's evening, Amsterdam.
A tiny sliver of moon over 17th-century building facades.
A half-moon light in a shop window.
"How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank.Here will we sit and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.” - William Shakespeare
*"...on a fair summer's eve" is a line from a poem by John Keats.
Just too beautiful.

the silhouettes of the ancient canal mansions proudly standing, remeniscing about ancient glory, wealth and splendour, watching the fall of decadence when many lifes became ruined by precious tulip bulbs, facing the terror of wwII crushing in, looking down on the steady yet changing watercourse in the canals, gazing at the ever changing current of time... stilled!
wishing you glorius moments to remember dearest tara while walking along rembrandt's footsteps!

Such a beautiful post, Tara. I especially love the lovely fat crescent moon lighting the window. I would love to be able to walk along some waterways today! I know it probably isn't easy leaving Paris, and I wish you all the best in your search for new 'digs' ;0
