The view across the canal years ago. From the city’s archives – Stadsarchief Amsterdam
Looking at my latest post – the view across the canal from my room on the top floor – I wondered about the barracks that once stood there when it was home to a cavalerie division.
I went to The Amsterdam Archives online.
I live in one of the houses along the canal. The triangular
tympanum is still there, right across, behind the new apartment blocks.
Hello,

I am the 'relentless hunter and gatherer of soothing beauty, great and small' behind these pages, which for now means: here you find the stuff that makes me think, that inspires me, that I envy and am passionate about. I would love to see or read your views too, so feel free to comment!
