Zaanse Schans

This is the main reason which I loved Amsterdam so much. This place. Zaanse Schans.

Zaanse Schans to me seemed like a small, precious gem. A small, quaint town that was silent and smelled deliciously of chocolate everywhere. The windmills, the far-reaching fields, the sheep, chicken. I hope my photos can give you a gist of what I felt being there. 

When a young teen, I enjoyed completing jigsaw puzzles. The pictures that were in my puzzles were akin to these homes that I saw here at Zaanse Schans. These little homes, colorful yet calming were what I remember looking at after completing those puzzles I would work days on at a time. Maybe the person who submitted their photos to be turned into puzzles are from this serene land. 

Next week: Paris
