Top 5 Amsterdam Sights are engrossing. Amsterdam is the capital of Netherlands. It is famous for its canals, narrow houses with gabled facades and windmills. The citizens of Amsterdam are keen cyclists and there are 400 km of cycle paths. Cyclists rule in Amsterdam and great pains have been taken to contain them.
The Amsterdam Canal District came up in the seventeenth century as a new and entirely man-made port city. The canals have a lay-out of concentric arcs, with radial waterways and streets. Most of the houses from the 17th and 18th centuries have good levels of conservation. The old civil and hydraulic structures have mostly undergone replacements.
This is the main train station in Amsterdam. It is of 1889 origin and a national heritage site. Amsterdam Centraal is located in the historical centre. It is a 10 minute walk to the Royal Palace and Dam Square. Dam Square lies approximately 750 metres (2,500 ft) south of the main transportation hub, Centraal Station. High-speed trains connect the station to Paris, London, Rome, Berlin and other European cities. …

The Hibiscus was beautiful. It was in the shade of a coconut tree and had a bright, vibrant colour. I had to catch the exact shade of red in the photo. And the focus and light had to be perfect.
The photo was featured in Flickr Explore on 10 December. Please click here to view my photos in Flickr’s Explore pages.
Location
I came across the Hibiscus in Vasai, a suburb of Mumbai. Many parts of Vasai fall under coastal regulation zone and are out of bounds for development.
Camera Info
I used my Sony Xperia ZR camera. It focuses really close and its small lens and sensor give more depth of field than a large camera. The big screen of Sony Xperia ZR is easier to see than the viewfinder of a camera.
