Amsterdam 1

AUGUST 2010 Singelgracht is the outermost canal ringing the city center. 48 photos are arranged in sequence on a walk northward from my hotel, across Singelgracht to the city Centrum. I continued west to the Anne Frank House on Prinsengracht. It rained most days, so I have very few exterior shots, and most places prohibited interior photography. (Adjust your screen brightness as necessary.)
