Prinsengracht is the outermost of Amsterdam
Waterbelt canals. Many tourists could recognize this canal for running past the Anne Frank house.
Even in autumn there is plenty of boat traffic going on - not to mention the bikes! You really can't avoid them anywhere in NL
And the outcome: 14 photos to go, in chronological order.
 |
| André Citroën (yes, THE Citroën) and René Descartes (yes, THE Descartes), both mentioned in the same door. Should dig up the story behind this one day. |
 |
| Vijzelgracht bridge. Vijzelgracht used to be a canal from 1658, before it was filled and turned into a street 1933. Note the clog boat! |
 |
| X marks the spot, but this marks the electric car park. |
 |
| The futuristic blue light pole belongs to the electric car park. |
 |
| Duct tape. It mends everything, everything. |
 |
| Accidental duck face. |
 |
| No time to watch around on the iconic canal district, I've got Angry Birds on! Or, more probably, she's trying to find her way around with navigation. |
 |
| Old orange lifeboats are popular in Amsterdam, refurbished as canal cruisers. |
 |
| Bikes, bikes, bikes. What can I say - not a day without a bike photo! |
 |
| Iconic canal houses, built on 17th century. Also another typical canal cruiser: an old sailing yacht with keel and mast removed. |
 |
| Underground apartment. |
 |
| The false facade on top is meant to make the house look bigger. Same applies to windows, which get smaller by every higher floor - they are to create an illusion of a taller building. |
 |
| Sticker culture, just like graffiti and stencil pictures, is still strong. |
 |
| Happy cruisers! Drinks and snack and music - no matter the time of the year or age of the cruisers. It's just something you must do every now and then :-) |
Fin.
