Amsterdam
|
| Few of the *many* pictures that I took while roaming the streets. |
 A dull photograph of the iconic row houses. In classic Netherlands fashion, it was cloudy :/ |
 Purple house |
 Some people who live near the canals own boats and they tie 'em up like this. |
 So many boats |
 The Royal Palace of Amsterdam rests on 13,659 wooden piles. It was built in the 17th century as the city's town hall. |
 Nationaal Monument op de Dam (National Monument on Dam Square). A national Remembrance of the Dead ceremony is held at the monument every year. It is situated opposite to the Royal Palace. Dam Square is the historic centre of Amsterdam. |
 Amsterdam Euronext. The Beurs van Berlage (The former building of the Stock Exchange) is to the left but it was being renovated when I visited. |

 So distuinguished, so proud |
