Amsterdam's Dam Square. Both the Royal Palace and the Nieuwe Kerk ('New Church') are still under renovation. The pink tram? An advertisement for the Barbie The Dream Experience.

Tour guides carrying umbrellas meet their customers in front of the National Monument.

Kalkmarkt (Chalk Market) is the name of a street along the Oudeschans canal in the center of Amsterdam. This was the place where Frisian lime and stone shippers brought their cargoes to market until the end of the 18th century. The lime was used as masonry mortar.

The shield of Amsterdam's Coat of Arms is ubiquitous in the city. The iconic design is recognized all over the world - even though nobody is quite sure what the 3 X's represent.

Seen here on the cabin of a freight ship.
