The images of Amsterdam (and Switzerland) still run through my mind. (I have even put them in rotation on my computer desktop.) Now that the weather has turned warm and sunny here (finally!), I will turn my attention more to the beauty that surrounds me. Nevertheless, here are a few more pix from beautiful Amsterdam.
First, a view from the eleventh floor of the old Post Office building that also housed the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam's Municipal (modern-art) Museum, while the original building was under renovations. The exhibit I saw there took one painting from each year beginning in the 1880's to the present. (It was an interesting concept but I, personally, would have liked to have seen better choices in some of the artwork.)
Down on the ground, all the houses have hooks near the roof because the houses are so narrow and the stairs so steep, they need to haul items up on the outside:
Some street scenes:
and lastly, even Amsterdam had it's share of graffiti:
I have been really enjoying your European pictures. In 2002 YD and I took an "if it's Tuesday it must be Belgium" tour and made stops in Switzerland and Amsterdam, as well as France and Germany, plus we drove through Belgium and started and ended in London. (My pix are linked at the bottom of my web site. They are snapshots, not photographs.)
