Amsterdam City in Living Colour

I hope you aren’t getting too sick of my Amsterdam posts ๐Ÿ˜‰

Today is the city in glorious colour. As I have said, I was there for 50 hours. This was over three separate days and these photos span all three days. The first day was overcast, day 2 was glorious and day 3 was pretty good too, although cold for this Queenslander…

 

I think this is an absolutely stunning little city. I love the order of the buildings. I love the quirky touches amongst the order. I love how these people know how to party (more on that in an upcoming post). I hope you enjoy these photos. I’m adding them to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic (of course!!).

I’m also submitting this to tinyexpats Show Your World event which is an awesome event sharing words and pictures to describe and showcase a particular destination. Stop by and take a look!

    Yes, this is an absolutely stunning city. A so colourful ๐Ÿ™‚ I love particularly the boats, the giant wheel and the odd yellow structure: light signalisations for boats maybe?

    What an interesting city and what are those quirky little houses hanging in mid-air? I’m guessing they are traffic lights

      Yes I think that’s exactly what they are – for the boats. I thought they were pretty cute ๐Ÿ˜€
