A Little Bit of Amsterdam

 

Don’t miss the bird – bottom right….so much to see..so little time!

Houseboat anyone?

In case you wonder what this is? It’s a close up of a hoist. There is one at the top of every one of these rows and rows of brownstones. It seems that property taxes are based on frontage, so the townhouses are very narrow, very deep and high. The hoist is used to pull furniture and other items up to the windows for entry into the house. Who would have thought?
