Streets of Amsterdam

Continuing on my visit to Amsterdam, I was able to explore little known parts of the city.  The cold temperatures and snowfall made them pretty desolate.  It was still nice to walk through the cold snow-covered streets.

Someone went shutter-crazy when designing this building!

With the ground being so water-logged, a real problem in the Netherlands is sinking houses.  Here is proof of this - the house in the middle has sunk, unevenly, into the ground.  I wonder if the floors in the house are now sloped!

I tried playing marbles inside.  I failed.

The snow covered streets, of course, do not impede bike riding.

It did, however, freeze this couple solid as they shared a bottle of wine.

Here's a really weird shaped house.  I imagine fitting furniture in that corner would be tricky.

Some of the pretty buildings in Amsterdam.

Finally, an HDR of the canals as evening falls.
