Amsterdam. Too much?
It doesn’t matter where you go in Amsterdam, you cannot escape the City’s relationship with water.
But would you really want to escape it?
Seemingly every turn you make you are greeted with a more beautiful canal with tall charming houses facing out onto the water. The city was designed around it and these canals are what has helped Amsterdam become the metropolis it is today. They’re what make the city so brilliant. That and the Apple tart.
For me, when the sun is shining there’s no greater city to be.

Sitting on a canal side in the sun seems to be a popular activity in Amsterdam. I took these images of friends enjoying the Sun whilst on a canal boat trip through Centrum’s major canals.

More images from Entrepotdok. The Crane has remained as a reminder of the sites former use as a merchant dock. This site is directly located behind the city’s zoo. One little known fact is that the water in the Amsterdam canals is so clean that Artis Zoo gives its elephants pure drinking water straight from the Amsterdam canals. Maybe even Entrepotdok!

Here I am sat on Javakade on Java-Eiland in the Eastern Docklands. Looking east across the IJhaven, lots of art galleries occupy space in those buildings across the water. The area where I’m sat was once the main harbour hub for Amsterdam, now it has been regenerated into new neighbourhoods.

Two living ships on one of the central canals. As you can see both make the most of their limited outside space with potted plants and garden benches.

This is Entrepotdok, located in the east of the city centre. Once a collection of dockside warehouses, these gorgeous buildings now house many residents and businesses a like.

Canal front properties in Central Amsterdam - because properties were once taxed on their width, properties are generally very narrow but very tall

House boat residents reluctant to choose between a life on the water and having a garden. Who says you can't have both?

A garage in Rietlanden, a canoe suspended from the ceiling - it's evident that the water has a place in a lot of the local people's lives

Some Jetties on Scheepstimmermanstraat - a single chair on each.

This is the well-known Scheepstimmermanstraat. It is a street of 60 terraced houses, some of them back onto the canal and all are unique. Some acclaimed architects worked on the project including Herzberger, van Velsen and Höhne & Rapp. As you can see almost all houses have a jetty or boat to enjoy the water-side location to its fullest
