Distraction from the snow

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Another Tuesday … another snow day in Calgary — although this one is nowhere near as severe as the last one. Regardless, I’m trying to distract myself from the mediocre weather with thoughts of warmer, sunnier places. Amsterdam’s Museumplein in summertime will do just fine. These are from August 2014, when I passed through on my way to northern Europe.

This lone figurine occupies a boat tied up at the side of a canal in Amsterdam. From my first visit to the city back in September 2012.

Museumplein, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam’s Museumplein park is, as you might imagine, ringed with museums. Beyond the pool in this photo is the Rijksmuseum. Snapped this image on a long layover back in August 2014.

Houses along the Damrak canal in Amsterdam

Here’s an image snapped in Amsterdam on my very first trip to Europe, back in September 2012. These beautiful houses are lined up along the Damrak canal, just a stone’s throw from the main train station. And by the way … it’s not camera lens distortion you’re seeing — the floors in those building really do have a slight lean to them.
