Amstel River/Skinny BridgeAmsterdam with all its charm is showcased by our lense . The houses along the canal look impossibly higgledy-piggedly, leaning, looming and jostling on both sides of the canal. Bridges arch over the water, some of them opening for tall water traffic. In Winter, Amsterdam frozen over is a wonderful place: the locals dust off their ice skates, children and dogs scramble around, and vendors sell hot chocolate, mulled wine and soup. external link: The Bridge Hotel |
