Catching up, photos from our September trip to the Netherlands. Canals and boats.

Remember in September, my Sweet Husband took me on vacation to the Netherlands?
Well, I posted the first set of photos and I promised more.
Here is another installment.
Canal Boats in Amsterdam.
 
 Look at how the light sparkles on the water.
Reminds me of an Impressionist painting.
 

 Under a bridge on a water bike.
 
 Boats range from simple, like this one to elaborate house boats.
 
Beautiful Canal scene. 
 
 
This one looks like it could use a little love.
An unfortunate occurrence. 
 
 Classic wooden boat.
 
Sight seeing boat, The "Pieter Heyn I" 
 
 House boat.
 
 Swan.
 
 Bridge details seen from the water.
 

Living on a boat doesn't mean you can't have a garden.
If you look closely, the one on the lower left corner has a greenhouse and a porch/

 


The Netherlands are famous for flowers.
You will see them everywhere.

 

Sailing anyone?


They come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
(Yes, that is the tip of a Venetian Gondola peaking out.)

 

Bridge.
 


Amsterdam is a beautiful city.
Anyone want to see more pictures?

Cheers,
Kat
and Spontaneous who is very glad we are at home.

  2. Been to Amsterdam several times. First I was struck by the amount of graffiti but after a day I didn't see it anymore. It's a great place with a unique feel somehow. Thanks for the memories.

    Cheers.
