This is DP’s Photo Challenge theme from Michelle Webber: “We often superimpose a mental grid over things we photograph to help with composition. This week, let’s go literal.”
Just coincidentally, yesterday I had shot the new grid of Amsterdam Central Station’s roof. It reads Amsterdam. If I ever get a chance, I will shoot it from a helicopter! 😉

Fantastic!
Thank you!
Gorgeous! I hope you can hitch that helicopter ride soon.
I hope so too, Amy! Thanks. And have a nice weekend.
Nice frames 🙂
Thank you so much.
If I was wearing socks, they would now be blown off. Stunning. Simply stunning.
I’m glad you weren’t! 😉 thank you Andy!
STUNNING, Lucile!
Thank you, Anna! Have a beautiful Sunday!
Such a cool roof! I can see the letters written in the panes. Wow it would be great to take this shot by helicopter! Your pics from the ground are lovely indeed!
Happy weekend!
It really is, Lia. When you come here with your private jet, you can perhaps invite me for a photo trip! 😉
Thanks and have a great one too!
:)) it’s a deal!
😀
It’s a great roof; well photographed! ( https://harrienijland.wordpress.com/2015/04/15/behind-amsterdam-central-station/ )
Thank you so much for dropping by and for your comment.
Love the colours, love the place, love the pix 🙂
Lucile, Me thinks me needs to come to Amsterdam soon 😉
Well, Gun, me thinks you should do it. It is enough love to justify the trip! 😉
Thank you for a great comment.
that’s beautiful!
Thank you!
Wow, they did a great job on that and you did a wonderful job of taking photos of it.

I agree. The idea was great and well executed. And I’m glad you liked the photo too. Thank you so much, Janet.
Now that’s a grid!!! So vibrant! This is fabulous.
Thanks DJ, add to your list!
wow – that is one cool roof! simply stunning! dont you love it when your photos serindipitously match the weeks photo challenge?! 🙂
Hey Debbie! Good to see you around because the Cafe is closed again today! I’m very sad.
I do love when this happens. It has happened already a few times, so I make jokes at home saying that I have a sense of foresight…
Have a great new week!
I am so in love with these images and think it would be so cool if you could complete the set from the air in a helicopter. Everything makes them wonderful – the subject, the angles, the colors, the perfect sky as a backdrop. I said ‘Wow’ to myself the moment I saw these. I am desperately searching for a grid here in Fiji but may come up short. Still have a bit of time though..I am on a mission but I don’t think anything I come up with will be as cool as this!
Whist I’m happy and humbled by your lovely words, I truly think that this was way too easy a subject to shoot, because the roof structure is inviting to shoot from all angles you can think of; the design is beautiful; the colors are vibrant; and the sun was shining! And I was lucky to have done it and able to use it for the theme.
What is really a challenge is to be in Fiji, surrounded by sea and stunning open sights, and find a grid to shoot. And I am sure you will come up with something, if you don’t look for one but invent one. Just a thought. You have a skilled eye to find and capture beauty, so perhaps you could jus put a frame in front of of it. 😉
I’m telling you Lucile that I couldn’t have shot your subject as well as you.
I like your ideas for a creative ‘grid’ shot. I’ll see if I can get inspired.
Next time you visit Amsterdam, I’ll go there with you.
I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ll come up with.
Its a date 😉
Deal!
Beautiful roof; I just love the colours
Thank you!
I love this roof, The colours, the grid, the fact that it’s a station! Love it 🙂
Don’t I love it too? Please send the helicopter to me! lol
Thanks Debbie.
Great colors and grid example.
Thank you so much for dropping by and commenting.
Feels like a mystical place. I just LOVE IT!!!
Thank you so much!
Such colorful and striking colors, well-done, Lucile! How nice Amsterdam invests in beautiful works of art and function!
Thank you, Terri. The city invests a lot in art and has much attention to aesthetics.
Hi Lucile. Striking colors and design. I love the art and architectural aesthetics in Amsterdam.
Hi Patti. Thanks for dropping by.
It’s indeed special and I’m happy you like it!
Oh, gecko poop. Now I have one more thing to do in Amsterdam. First, the bridge, now shoot the train station canopy. This is a lovely capture…nice angles, lines. And of course, colors.
So, are you accumulating reasons to visit the city?
Thank you Badfish.
I do not need to accumulate reasons to visit Amsterdam. I just need to be going somewhere in that vicinity! And of course, I now have that bridge as reason enough!
Loud and clear! I won’t mention that bridge anymore.
Ha! but what about photographing it?
and the train station canopy???
Total silence!
right
