A typically superb shot, fotoi. What strikes me most, even more than the remarkable 'zipper', is the vibrancy in the foreground buildings. How do you do it? Surely it's not just top drawer equipment? (That said, I'd be interested to know what camera you do use; I've long wondered.)

Thank you very much. This particular shot was taken with the Sony RX10 Mark IV. However, this was the first trip taken when I used this camera. All previous trips were photographed using my Canon 5DS-R and Canon 5D Mark IV. As for the image above, I enhanced the orange color in post processing using Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Thank you very much for that information. Your skills, both as a photographer and at post processing, are exemplary.

I find that Sony colors are on the green side and need some boost of the reds, usually.

Yes, I see the same thing. I prefer Canon color science over Sony, but wanted to try out the lightweight RX10 M4.

I too use an RX100 when traveling, very pocketable.

Not sure if it qualifies as a skyscraper though. Although we like to think it is...

For those interested, the text says: Know why this is the sunny side of the IJ.

The IJ is a river and Amsterdam's waterfront.

is the Flat Iron building (NYC) tall enough to be a sky scraper?

Why anyone thought that building was a good idea beats me.

Someone must like it because there's a very similar building in Barcelona, Torre Glòries (144 meters high).
