Amsterdam, The Netherlands


This is the first in a series of posts about my travels around Europe. Each post will focus on one city I visited and will include my favourite photographs from that place and some free association words.

This one is for Amsterdam.

The canals of Amsterdam


Where I come from, there are no buildings marked as being constructed in 1665.




Why is it that life on a houseboat seems so romantic to me?


people, bicycles everywhere, bells ringing, canals, sex workers in windows beckoning men, tall skinny buildings, houseboats like Duncan MacLeod's, fries with yummy mayonnaise in twisted paper cones, wooden clogs, busker with a dog, boat ride, big ferry, decorated gables, an area so expensive only banks can own buildings there, steep stair cases, thinking of my life on a houseboat, feeling alone, wooden doors on buildings, weird fashions, cold.
