Wet Amsterdam

I can't get enough of the rain pictures. This is the Museumsquare changed into a pond. President Obama landed here last year with his helicopter when he visited the Rijksmuseum. Now he would need a diving suit. 


The amount of visiters in Amsterdam during the holidays time has disappeared it seems. At last some empty streets to walk along the canals. The brown building is "de Pieper", one of the oldest bars in town dating back to 1665, and with lots of the original furnishings still in place, like the stained glass windows and the sand covered wooden flooring.

  1. There is something in the architecture of the Dutch, which I really like.
    Even in this image is somewhere in the spirit of Vermeer, van Gogh ... Maybe because the Netherlands is a small country and buildings must be close to each other. And it does paint a fairy tale mood.

  3. I am not very good at coping with January..... the rain and the cold. I need books, wine, coffee or tea, music, be indoors, watch films, cuddle up on the sofa with pillows and blankets, candles and a summer temperature inside.

  9. Dearest Marianne,
    What a water indeed! We do have still dark and dreary days with little drizzling at times but not as wet as in your photos.
    Sending you hugs,
    Mariette

  14. Rain is good for reflections but not great for walking around the city. I think I would be delighted with a tourist free day in London!

  16. Love cities in the rain! Amsterdam is on my "some day" list. My daughter wants to go for the chance to experience the culture, I want to go for the museums and architecture. Some day.
