Amsterdam II

Some Architecture. Different styles are from different periods and reflect the wealth of the city. Notice in some of these shots that some buildings are tilted and that many have what are called hoists at the top (those pieces sticking out perpendicularly to the building). These were used to lift up furinture to the top floors and the tilting of the buildings was to prevent the furniture from banging into the building. Some are more tilted than that, but they were built on reclaimed land...

This is in the redlight district. Picturesque canal and live porno show.

Cute building from the 1627. It house the restaurant pictured below. It is called the 5 Flies and you know we had to eat there. A very fancy restaurant.
