I went to Amsterdam recently for a short break - it was lovely and sunny there unlike home, which has been awful this "summer". Anyway the canals were looking lovely I can't remember which is which, but they will be either Herrengracht, Prinzengracht or Kaisersgracht! Enjoy my wander through Amsterdam:-

| A house boat owner's take on a garden - lovely! |
 |
| Gnomes get everywhere LOL! Very cute. |
 |
| Typical Dutch architecture |
 |
These house boats are opposite the
Anne Frank House.
|
 |
| Parked bicycles crowd a bridge. |
 |
Interesting boat shaped lamps reflecting
Amsterdam's affiliation with the sea.

 |
One of the big hotels in Amsterdam which sits
on the Amstel.

Difficult see here (it's better at night as it is lit) look
beyond the locks in the foreground but you can just
make out the Magere Brug which translates to
"Skinny Bridge" and is said to be Amsterdam's
most beautiful bridge.

 |
| The Amstel. |
 |
| Another lovely house boat garden. |
 |
| A close up! |
 |
Here you can just about see through one
bridge to the others beyond.
|
 |
| Lovely geraniums adorning these windows. |
 |
| More lovely gabled buildings - they are a bit wonky in places! |
 |
One of many lovely hanging baskets of
geraniums on a bridge.

It looks like such a crisp warm day, just lovely!
