Photos of Amsterdam

Beautiful Amsterdam. The city of canals!

It's easy to find oneself envying the Dutch people. They live comfortable lives with a high standard of living in a peaceful, quiet country. The cities are modern and the countryside still retains a traditional look and feel.

Amstel River #3096
This is a photo of the Amstel River as it flows through Amsterdam. This river's name is probably more famous as a beer, and not a bad Dutch beer at that.




Amsterdam at Night
Amsterdam is a great city! Easy to explore by foot, but also with an excellent mass transit system. And then, there are the Amsterdam canals for interesting touring.




Flower Market
The people of the Netherlands, famous for their tulips, enjoy their flowers of all types.




Canals at Night #3033
The Amsterdam canals form semi-circular arcs at ever greater distances from the city center, with other canals forming spokes outward from the center.




Windmill #3084
This windmill was photographed just south of Amsterdam in the little village of Ouderkirk aan de Amstel.




Rembrandt Square
The Dutch certainly celebrate their many artistic heroes, and this square is named after one of them - Rembrandt, who lived in one of the three story homes in Amsterdam, was famous while still alive, yet died entirely bankrupt in 1659.




The Dam at Night
The trains run frequently and efficiently in Amsterdam, even at night - as shown in this photograph taken in the area known as The Dam, site of a dam that was built across the Amstel river in the 13th century.




Magere Bridge
Magere Bridge at night is illuminated by hundreds of lights. Also known as the Skinny Bridge, it's a double drawbridge made in the 1700's with a special type of wood from Africa known as Azobe.




Decorative Stone
Many of the homes and shops that line the canals of Amsterdam have these wonderful decorative tiles embedded in the brickwork above the doorways.
