Amsterdam: canals, city landmarks and coffee
The Rijksmuseum, Rembrandt Square, canals and a coffee stop in Amsterdam in 2015.
Amsterdam’s canal banks were green with trees, with narrow buildings, moored boats and bicycles along the water. A low brick bridge connected the two sides.
Amsterdam’s canals
Bicycles lined the railings, boats lay against the banks and tall façades stood behind the trees. The canal passed beneath a brick bridge with three low arches.
The Rijksmuseum
Red brick, pale stone and elaborate rooflines marked the Rijksmuseum’s exterior. Its central entrance stood between two towers, beyond a broad paved approach.
Rembrandt Square
In Rembrandt Square, a tall statue stood above a group of dark bronze figures at ground level. Trees and surrounding buildings enclosed the public square.
Dam Good Coffee
“Dam Good Coffee is Damn Good.” That was my verdict on this coffee stop.
The shop had a red sign above its narrow frontage, bicycles parked outside and tram tracks running past.
