Amsterdam is not only one of the most beautiful cities to tour, but is one of the easiest cities to walk around—or ride a bike since thousands of its citizens own bicycles.  The first picture in the gallery below shows a gigantic bicycle garage at the train station.

The wind died and made this picture.

More reflections!

Building Bracing!

Narrow, steep stairs, and the pulley system at the top to lift furniture.

Small cars have a much easier time of it here. 

The bridge does not go up, so all  boats must fit.

More wonderful reflections.

Very unusual triple shell with cox .

Channel lock to control water.
